All major aspects of the sales and building process are affected by the customer experience, making it one of the most critical elements for the success of your company. Yet building and designing a great customer experience that feels authentic and personalized can be challenging.
In the NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS) Master Session, “The Customer Experience Funnel: Best Practices for Profitability,” an expert panel will show you best practices to implement throughout the customer experience funnel—from first impression through completion of the home—to create healthier relationships that equate to larger profits.
The sales funnel will be inspected from all points. For the largest end of the funnel, creative, cost-effective ways will be examined that can drive leads using technology, along with “old-school, high touch” tactics that your sales teams can use to drive their own traffic. As the funnel narrows, explore lead management tools and ways to effectively manage the critical sales to start process. Building start to completion is where the funnel often becomes clogged, so we’ll finish by addressing leading methods and key metrics to keep customer service flowing smoothly and create happy homeowners who become eager referral sources. This session will also look at how to coach, support, measure and recruit sales team members.
In this three-hour advanced session, you will:
- Learn cost-effective methods to drive and convert leads to more profitable sales.
- Discover how to engage your sales team in your overall marketing strategy and hold them accountable for driving 50% of their own traffic.
- Apply key metrics for measuring customer satisfaction and learn how to adjust, if needed, should your team and techniques not measure up.
- Explore ways of improving your cycle time and production to create a better customer experience.
