Manufacturers of boats, RVs, compact tractors, outdoor power equipment and other specialty products face a common challenge: customers buy through independent dealer networks, while the manufacturer has limited visibility into how individual dealers actually handle prospective customers.
Pied Piper measures those customer interactions consistently across dealer networks.
Measure what happens when prospective customers contact dealers by telephone, website and other channels. Identify unanswered inquiries, slow or incomplete responses, weak follow-up and differences in performance from dealer to dealer.
Compare dealers within a network, regions, competitive brands and industry benchmarks using a consistent measurement methodology.
Where appropriate, Pied Piper can combine customer-interaction measurement with facility evaluations, merchandising checks, visual documentation and brand-standard audits.
Whether the search begins with boat mystery shopping, RV mystery shopping, tractor mystery shopping or dealer mystery shopping, the business problem is similar: manufacturers need an objective way to see what customers actually experience across their dealer networks.
Pied Piper has measured and ranked the performance of major Specialty Vehicles & Equipment brands, so that clients can understand not only how they perform, but how that performance compares. Here is an example of our findings:
