50
Peter Winston | ViewPoint Kiosks | CEO | peter@ics.com People want a fair price A fair price is not the same thing as a flat price. Flat pricing doesn’t even work, because people don’t trust the salespeople Across the board, dealers need to work to regain trust Present transparent price information within a system that looks credible and trustworthy, and also incorporates product information from vendor, dealer & trusted third parties. Presenting prices on screens can improve the Sales Satisfaction Index by up to 63 points according to a JD Power study.
