2008 Automotive eShopper
Experience Study INTRODUCTION Since 2004, Cobalt has conducted the industryâs largest and most comprehensive Internet-based mystery shops through its eMystery Shopâą service, evaluating response rates and response quality for online new vehicle lead submitters. The 2008 National Automotive eShopper Experience Studyâą includes trending from the last four years of research, including the recently completed 2008 study. The 2008 National Automotive eShopper Experience Study introduces the Automotive eShopper Indexâą [ASI], an integrated score of the overall effectiveness of dealership lead handling practices, which can be tracked by brand and trended over time. The components and weighting of the ASI evolve over time as new research identifies which elements of the consumer experience most directly drive the conversion rate from leads-to-sales. Dealership performance was determined by evaluating lead responsiveness, response time, and the quality of the response in addressing shoppersâ key questions such as: âDo you have the vehicle Iâm interested in?â and âHow much will you sell it to me for?â Detailed reports at the brand level can inform and guide automotive manufacturers and dealership management on the current state of their lead handling process and guide them toward actions that will improve their shopperâs experience. Research by Cobalt and others has demonstrated a strong correlation between the dealershipâs lead handling effectiveness, as measured by the ASI, and the rate at which the consumers submitting leads purchase vehicles at that dealership. An increased focus on the quality of the consumer experience can more than triple the rate at which leads convert to sales, and potentially make the difference between a successful and unsuccessful dealership and brand.* *Source: The 2007 Dealer eBusiness Study, conducted by Cobalt, in partnership with Yahoo! and R.

2008 Automotive eShopper
Experience Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The 2008 Automotive eShopper Experience Study includes trending from the last four years of research. For the 2008 study, eMystery shops were conducted at dealerships across thirty brands, with 122 unique vehicle configurations. To simulate actual shopper behavior, leads were manually submitted through forms found on the dealerâs website by unique mystery shoppers with personal information that placed them within driving distance of the actual showroom. KEY INDUSTRY FINDINGS Between 2005 and 2008, dealers became more diligent after initial contact in lead follow-up: Results showed that 70% of responding dealers will follow up compared to 49% in 2005; in addition the average number of follow-ups received has gone from 2.0 to 3.1 over the four-year period from 2005 to 2008. Dealers do not respond, by email or phone, to one in four shoppers submitting leads. Dealerships call less than half of the Internet leads they receive, responding to the remainder in email alone. If a shopper asks for the price of a new vehicle, they will be given this information less than twenty-five percent of the time. Only 13% or responding dealerships provide the shopper with information about the benefits of their particular brand or vehicle. THE IMPACT Tough times have made dealers more responsive to shoppers than ever before, but there is still a long way to go. The Automotive eShopper Indexâą for all brands improved from 30.5 to 39.0 on a 100 point scale from 2007 to 2008, driven primarily by an uptick in dealers responding to a higher percentage of leads. ©2008 The Cobalt Group, proprietary and confidential.

2008 Automotive eShopper
Experience Study BRAND RANKINGS At the top of the brand rankings, Lexus dealers 2007 2008 hold the top spot based on the timeliness of their responses. However, the big news Lexus Lexus for 2008 is Chevroletâs leap from its 2007 ranking at 15th place, to its second place In niti Chevrolet overall ranking in 2008 with an index score of nearly 50. Chevrolet dealers delivered Saturn VW major improvements across the board in response rate and response quality. VW Subaru Honda took a third-place ranking overall based on a combination of lead response time Toyota Audi and relevant lead response content. Rankings were based on the Automotive eShopper Indexâą, an integrated score of the overall effectiveness of dealership lead handling practices. Dealers were rated on the speed of their response and the content of their first email response to the Internet lead. Message content was judged on how completely the dealer answered the shopperâs questions, as well as their professionalism in the initial contact. AUTOMOTIVE ESHOPPER EXPERIENCE STUDY METHODOLOGY For the purposes of an eMystery Shopâą, dealerships are randomly sampled. Each dealer selected to be shopped receives one new vehicle lead through the âQuick Quoteâ or âInventoryâ form found on their website from a shopper who is ready to buy and requests the price and the availability of a specific new vehicle. All leads are sent during regular working weekday hours and the dealerships contacted have up to 48 hours to respond. Response is inclusive of a phone call and/ or an email from the dealership. The first email response sent by the dealer is scored for both speed and message content and is used to create the dealershipâs ASI score. In addition, email and phone follow-ups from the dealership are tracked for ten days from the time the email lead is sent to the dealership. 2008 SPECIFIC SHOP METHODOLOGY In 2008, 3,320 dealerships across thirty brands were eMystery shopped by Cobalt for inclusion in the 2008 Automotive eShopper Experience Study.

2008 Automotive eShopper
Experience Study to best mirror real shopper activity, leads were manually submitted through forms found on the dealerâs website by unique mystery shoppers with personal information that placed them within driving distance of the actual showroom. The information on the leads submitted was consistent with information commonly provided by highly qualified, highly motivated automotive lead submitters. SCORING Rankings were based on an ASI score, which is a single composite numeric score that represents how well the dealership performed against a standard set in each area. Dealers were rated on the response speed and message content of their first email response to the Internet lead. Message content is judged by whether or not the dealer answered the shopperâs questions, and demonstrated sales and professional skills. Dealers are then measured on their continued lead follow-up handling skills. ©2008 The Cobalt Group, proprietary and confidential. All rights reserved. 6

The ASI for all brands improved from 30.5 to 39.0 on a 100 point scale from 2007 to 2008, driven primarily by an uptick in dealers responding to a higher percentage of Internet leads. The broad patterns Cobalt has seen over the last four years of data included in this study show that dealers have made some improvements in their overall response rate and timeliness of responses, however they are still failing to respond at all to nearly 25% of highly qualified leads and the average response takes over 5 hours. Neither measure meets consumer expectations. While, dealerships are focusing more on Internet opportunities due to reduced number of âtraditionalâ opportunities, the trend data shows that there are still problems in overall lead handling execution. ©2008 The Cobalt Group, proprietary and confidential.

Experience Study The highest performing dealers have conquered the basics of responding to leads quickly and are now turning their attention to the quality of their response to the consumer by answering pricing and availability issues adequately, highlighting the value of their products and their dealership, while remaining responsive to the shopper if their shopping timeframe is extended. While, the bulk of dealerships are focused on response time, they may in fact, be responding quickly at the cost of response quality. High performers are not only responding quickly, they are also improving the quality of their response. Only a small percentage of dealerships can be classified as high performers, with most dealerships still under performing relative to customer expectations. RESPONSIVENESS With a continued increase in the number of shoppers turning to the Internet for new vehicle shopping, the automotive industry continues to keep pace in respect to overall lead response rates. Yet, there is still work to be done. One out of four of these highly qualified leads (25%) went unanswered in 2008, only a 5% improvement from 2005. Better lead handling techniques and productivity tools such as lead management systems have allowed dealers to be more diligent in lead follow up. The 2008 shop results showed that 70% of responding dealers will follow up compared to 49% in 2005; in addition the average number of follow-ups received has gone from 2.0 to 3.1 over the four-year period from 2005 to 2008. However, it is important to note that a deficit still exists with regard to ongoing lead follow-up. In fact, even if a dealer does send an initial email response to the lead, 30% of the customers who did get a response will not hear from the dealer again. MATCHING THE CONSUMERâS PURCHASE TIMELINE The âtraditionalâ dealership sales process assumes the prospect will remain âin marketâ for approximately 3 days. Studies reflects that a high number of dealerships are pushing prospects through a process built around customer contact for a period of 72 hours with no plan or intention to follow up longer. The dealership assumes that the prospect is out of market and gives up well before the prospect completes their purchase process. The 2008 J.D. Power and Associates New Autoshopper.com Study found that on average AUIs (Automotive Internet Users) report that they first decide to buy a new vehicle 15.4 weeks before they actually purchase one. Three weeks later they begin using the Internet to find information, which is approximately 12. 4 weeks prior ©2008 The Cobalt Group, proprietary and confidential. All rights reserved. 8

By the time they have narrowed their vehicle selection down to one vehicle they are typically 5 weeks away from purchase. This information is key to both understanding the best time to target and market to Internet shoppers and to understanding that shoppers may be in-market for different periods of time.

Experience Study converting, additional increments were added within the 30-day purchase window as part of the 2007 Dealer eBusiness Performance study. Results showed of the leads that closed, 24% did so within ten days of lead submission. Forty-three percent closed within 30 days and 68% closed within the first 90 days. Thirty-two percent closed after 90 days. Taking a closer look at conversion over time, 43% purchased a new vehicle of the intended make within the first 30 days of lead submission. After that, new vehicle of intended make conversion dropped more than half to 21% within 60 days while used vehicle sales of any make more than doubled during the same time period â from 22% within 30 days to 50% within 60 days. After 90 days, new vehicle of intended make conversion dropped to 13% while used vehicle sales of any make increased slightly to 53%. The longer a lead remains unsold, the more likely it is to convert to a used vehicle. Dealers should respond promptly to leads and have systems in place to market to car shoppers in a way that addresses what the consumer is likely to purchase based on the age of the lead. Suggesting a used vehicle alternative to a new vehicle lead as the lead ages could help convert the lead to a sale. Additionally, with a third of leads converting after 90 days, dealers who continue to market to consumers will benefit by selling to those with purchase timeframes beyond a three month period. RESPONSE METHODS Increasingly dealerships are using the phone to contact the shopper. The results from the shops over the last four years show that almost twice as many dealers placed a phone call in 2008 compared to 2005. The corresponding table shows that most of the growth in phone usage comes from dealers that send an email response and call the customer, rather than attempting just one method of follow-up. High performing dealerships attempt to reach the customer using several approaches. 2005 2006 2007 2008 Sent Email and Called the Shopper 18.6% 19.7% 25.4% 31.8% Only Sent an Email 44.3% 46.6% 35.2% 33.2% Only Called the Shopper 6.8% 6.7% 8.0% 10.3% ©2008 The Cobalt Group, proprietary and confidential.

Experience Study RESPONSE TIME Understanding that the Internet shopper is looking for quick answers, dealers are responding faster. The average email response rate improved from 6.4 hours in 2004 to 5.1 hours this year with close to half responding in less than one hour. However, if a lead does get a phone call, it most likely wonât be until the following day. Despite improvements around response time, the fact remains that faster response time is needed overall in the industry. According to the 2007 Dealer eBusiness Performance Study, performed by Cobalt, Yahoo! and R. L. Polk & Co., 20% of consumers will go somewhere else if they do not receive a response within 4 hours or less.

There is not foreseeable change in this behavior until middle âdeskâ management understand the importance of Internet leads and implement training on lead execution. RESPONSE QUALITY AND CONTENT While a shopper can be very specific in requesting the price and in-stock availability of a specific vehicle, they have only a one in four (25%) chance of getting their questions answered in the first email response back from the dealership, a stat that is unchanged over the four year study period. Only one in three shoppers are likely to get a price quote emailed to them, and less than 50% of responding dealers will address the shopperâs inventory question. Dealerships continue to push Internet leads through a âtraditionalâ sales process. Trying to control the sales process by withholding information is a common practice as sales consultants attempt to gain âcontrolâ of the customer. And, interestingly, only 13% of responding dealerships provide the shopper any information as to the value of the brand or product they are inquiring about. ©2008 The Cobalt Group, proprietary and confidential.

Experience Study As shown by results from the 2007 Dealer eBusiness Performance Study, poor lead handling directly contributes to brand defection. In fact, of those that switched brands, 23% did so because of poor dealer interaction. Poor dealer interaction may be lack of response or a response that doesnât satisfy the customerâs request. ©2008 The Cobalt Group, proprietary and confidential. All rights reserved. 14

Experience Study CONCLUSIONS Current market conditions have made dealers more responsive to shoppers than ever before, but there is still a long way to go. The Automotive eShopper Indexâą for all brands improved from 30.5 to 39.0 on a 100 point scale from 2007 to 2008, driven primarily by an uptick in dealers responding to a higher percentage of leads. Dealers are keeping pace with the growth in consumer demand for information on new vehicles but still leave significant opportunity untouched. Additionally, the study shows a significant percentage of dealers are abandoning the opportunity after their initial response. Most dealers are not actively pursuing the lead on a daily basis. While dealers are responding faster, and are again turning to the phone in addition to email to reach the customer, most in-market shoppers arenât getting their questions answered. This can result in the shopper going elsewhere. Dealers who do not answer the shopperâs questions lose the opportunity to engage in moving the shopper toward a sale as the shopper goes elsewhere for the information they need to make their purchase decision. Delivering a consistent shopper experience in dealerships that experience high turnover is a major management challenge. At the OEM brand level, moving the dial across a channel of hundreds or thousands of independent franchised businesses would appear to be a herculean task. One of the encouraging findings in this yearâs report is that consistent OEM focus on effective lead handling can achieve significant progress in as little as 12 months, as evidenced by GMâsâand especially Chevroletâs âimprovement in this yearâs study. Over time, industry investment in meeting increased lead volume with a timely response has improved but the opportunity to improve lead productivity is lost by not answering the shopperâs questions. The game has moved from just responding to responding quickly and providing meaningful information that the shopper seeks. ©2008 The Cobalt Group, proprietary and confidential.
