IRVINE, Calif. — CRM/BDC software, training and consulting firm Universal Dealers Consultants Inc. (UDC) has announced that its CEO, Hans Van Order, will be a featured speaker at the Mercedes-Benz USA BDC/Sales Manager conference, scheduled for Sept. 8–12 at the Planet Hollywood Hotel in Las Vegas. Van Order will present information and strategies on how dealers can bridge the gap between their BDC unit and sales floor.
“One of the key management issues facing dealerships today is how to streamline and coordinate BDC and sales floor activity,” said Van Order. “Implementing technology and in-store processes that facilitate communication between these two areas increases revenues and improves customer satisfaction, retention and loyalty.”
