Marketing cars differs from marketing services for vehicles in several key ways: - Cars are tangible products that can be easily evaluated, while services are intangible and evaluating their value is more difficult. - The sales process for cars involves manufacturing and selling units, while the process for services begins with promotion and ends with purchase. - Car characteristics can be measured, but service quality depends more on the performance of people providing the service.

betweenrunning a car sales and service dealership and managing
health care service:
They can all pursue customer loyalty and retention through the provision
of high-quality goods or services.
The conceptthat everyone needs perfect and intellect to deal with the
client and we should take him away and relax him when we face angry

4. What advice would you give to Carolon future strategyfor the
business?
1. The need for a good manager like Larry Winters as he has a good
background and relationships in the field and can lead the company

even other staff, to be able to handle clients in a good way.
3. Setting standards in order to save time and standardise quality and
reduce waiting time for each procedure conducted in the
organisation.

of services and to minimise the time spent by authors.
