Service Subscriptions with Terry Torline

This week we have a BRAND NEW episode, "Service Subscriptions" with Terry Torline, VP of Sales at EXOGloss 💥 TETHER THE CUSTOMER TO YOUR DEALERSHIP💥 Terry talks about how prepaid maintenance "subscriptions" like EXOGloss offers can help you communicate with service customers and retain them to YOUR dealership instead of local competitors. Terry & Brad also talk about next week's ASOTU Con and what they're looking forward to about it. 🚘 “Customers are driving 25, 50, 100 miles, or having a car delivered to them. So where they bought the car is, in a lot of cases, not where they're going to have it serviced. So when you capture those customers in your service, now you're going to capture that customer in order to sell them another car.” 👋 You can contact Terry at terry@exogloss.com & make sure to register for ASOTU con at asotucon.com!
