In this episode, hosts Camron Wilson and Michael Hayes are joined by Joe St. John, Chief Customer Officer at Autofi, to explore why digital retailing has yet to fully replace the traditional showroom experience. Joe discusses the misconceptions surrounding online car buying, highlights critical touchpoints that influence consumer decisions, and explains the operational challenges dealerships face when attempting to integrate digital and in-person processes. This conversation provides valuable insights into how dealerships can better align with evolving customer expectations by embracing a hybrid model that leverages technology while maintaining the personalized service buyers still value.
