THE ACURA CLIENT JOURNEY

Sales Process

There are certain tasks that need to be completed during the purchase.

Client Expectations

Today’s clients have five key expectations for that purchase process.

  • Personalized Experiences
  • Transparency
  • Simplicity
  • Control
  • Seamlessness

  • Where is Rob in the purchase process?
  • What are specific questions for prospective EV purchasers?
