Description

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Bob Welby, Senior Director of Operations at INFINITI USA, to break down how small, thoughtful touches can make a massive impact. (Spoiler: It’s not about throwing money at the problem—it’s about paying attention.)

Let’s be real: Customer experience gets tossed around at every conference like it’s some big, shiny secret. But what does it actually mean to deliver an experience that turns a one-time buyer into a lifelong fan?

Here’s what we dive into:

  • Why dealerships spend way too much trying to overcompensate for operational inefficiencies—and how to fix it.
  • INFINITI’s new My INFINITI Expert initiative—sending someone to your house after purchase to walk you through the car again.
  • The magic of thoughtful hospitality: Why anticipating your customer’s unspoken needs can set you apart—and no, it doesn’t require a “big” budget.
