Stop playing hide-and-seek with your dealership's performance. It's time to see what's really happening.

For decades, automotive dealerships have relied on mystery shops as their window into customer service performance. These carefully orchestrated calls feel like due diligence—a professional way to keep tabs on how your team handles prospects. But here's the uncomfortable truth: mystery shops are giving you a distorted view of reality, and that distortion is costing you deals.

Let’s face it: a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work when your teams wear different hats. The way your sales staff speaks to a customer is nothing like how your service advisors handle calls—and your parts department? Completely different priorities.

To build a high-performing dealership, you need insights that reflect those differences.

Phone calls remain the lifeline of customer interaction, yet businesses face a mounting challenge: accurately tracking call outcomes and measuring performance across departments. When you're handling thousands of calls monthly, the data gets messy. Customers call whatever number they find first, regardless of whether they need sales, service, or support. As a result, businesses become overwhelmed—instead of analyzing and coaching calls for better outcomes, they're stuck just trying to classify them correctly.
