How we’ve helped our clients

Drive customer spend through improved service

Automotive, Customer Strategies, TRI*M

The issue

An automotive manufacturer sought to improve and standardise the quality of after-sales services, to increase cross-selling opportunities and encourage customers to upgrade.

Our approach

With insights from TRI*M we developed action-planning workshops for dealerships that focused on their specific drivers of customer loyalty. We prioritised the actions required, according to their business impact.

The insights

Our workshop approach enabled strong buy-in from client-facing employees. The specific action plans helped to improve operational efficiency and quality for each dealership.

The impact

Dealerships participating in the TRI*M workshops significantly improved their customer retention and were much more likely to meet the manufacturer’s defined quality standards.

Riding back to market leadership

Automotive, NeedScope, Brand & Communication

The challenge

India’s market leader in scooters had lost its leadership of the broader two-wheel category, and attempts to regain its position by launching a new motorcycle had failed.

Our approach

We used a qualitative and quantitative NeedScope programme to explore the dynamics of the market, and look beyond function to reveal all of the needs that scooters and motorcycles meet.

The insight

Motorcycles and scooters address very different emotional needs in India; to become irresistible to motorcycle buyers the client needed a new brand that was young, sporty, irreverent and had a sense of freedom that could appeal to the ‘liberation’ market segment.

Impact

The launch of the new brand re-energised the company and returned it to market leadership amongst rave reviews from motoring magazines.
