Who is Elkhart Indian Motorcycle?

Elkhart Indian Motorcycle opened on September 15, 2015 after converting from a small service center, offering Indian Motorcycle sales, motorcycle parts, and providing a state-of-the-art service department for all of its long-time Harley-Davidson service customers. They are the same customer focused, high-quality shop they have always been...now bringing new Indian Motorcycles, new Royal Enfield motorcycles, and used motorcycles to Elkhart, Indiana!

“

We use Kenect in every department of our business. The ability to have a central location where all employees can access conversations is amazing! We will never leave Kenect. We absolutely love you guys!

Challenge

Elkhart Indian had challenges:

‍

Sales reps had to give out their personal phone number which posed an issue
Leads weren't getting contact after hours and often were lost
Needed a way to have visibility on employee-customer interactions to follow up on leads

Solution

How Kenect solved these issues:

‍

Sales reps no longer have to give out their personal numbers and can use the Kenect app
With Managed Conversations, texts are answered at all hours and leads are closed over 75% of the time
With Kenect, any employee can jump into a conversation with a customer or lead instead of waiting days to transfer from each department

“

Managed Conversations

"Before Kenect our hours were limited on when we could respond to new leads. With Kenect's Managed Conversations, Kenect helps qualify and respond to the leads for us -we call these "hot leads". Then when we are back in office, we can easily jump in and complete the sale!

‍

I would say we typically close these leads over 75% of the time thanks to Kenect. People truly appreciate being answered after hours, giving us an edge on the competition."

‍

"We absolutely love having a dedicated CSM. Megan is so on top of everything and always answers our questions promptly."

Over 146 leads in just 8 months

Managed Conversations saved the business 10 min in response time per lead for their sales/parts/service departments
