Service to Sales Long-distance Data Mining

Interesting physics problem, but can you clarify what you mean by "Service mining" in this case? Presumably you mean "vehicles sales opportunities from open ROs"(?)

Semantics aside, without a dedicated team member, you'll probably have to work the mining into existing technician workflows. Of course, that means looking at spiffs or comp plan changes, and even then you might not get buy in from them.
Yeah, I was shot down on that one. One of the first things I thought of. My hands are completely tied right now as they won't spend money either.
 

✨ AI Highlights

A dealer in Brooklyn seeks solutions for converting service customers into sales opportunities despite being unable to place a dedicated BDC rep at their remote service location 40 blocks away. Respondents suggest implementing automated solutions (with multiple mentions of FRIKINtech), incentivizing technicians to participate in sales mining, and leveraging service department interactions through digital channels like email campaigns and WiFi login pages. The thread reveals that automation and technician incentives are likely more practical than traditional in-person mining when physical distance and space constraints make dedicated staffing impossible.
