Are you a tire manufacturer or tire retailer with a website showcasing your products? Do you include product and pricing information on your website, or do you ask that the customer call you to find out that information? If you require a call, you’re probably costing yourself business. Check out this episode of Gain Traction to learn more!

Buyer behavior is always evolving and has changed even more drastically since the start of the pandemic. As people have shifted to working from home, more and more shopping is being done online. According to Clare Hetherington from DriveRightData, customers who are willing to call for information only constitute about half of the average customer base. The other half is searching for information online, and if they have to make a call to find it they’ll probably just shop somewhere else. Are you keeping as many online customers as possible? 

On this episode of Gain Traction, Clare joins Neal Maier for a discussion about buyer behavior among those shopping for tires. They talk about customers who are and are not interested in calling about information. Many online customers want information immediately. If those online customers can’t easily find the product and pricing information they’re looking for, it’s likely they’ll go elsewhere to do their shopping. Don’t miss this informative episode!
