Delivering specialist vehicle recall programs across the USA In North America, we have managed many recall programs for our Volume Automotive Client of varying scales and complexity.
Following our client’s recall campaign, we utilized teams in the USA and the Philippines to offer telephone support to those wishing to schedule the required vehicle service. Each call aimed to schedule the service appointment successfully. Still, throughout this conversation with the customer, our teams were on hand to deliver support, information and guidance with any questions about the recall process. For our clients and us, highlighting the need for swift action is paramount, ensuring the long-term safety of their customers.
In addition to supporting inbound customer concerns, we can manage short-term recall campaigns designed to reach out to customers who have received a mailer but have not yet scheduled a dealer appointment. For the same automotive client, we managed a 10-week campaign, contacting those customers directly impacted by the recall who had not already made a dealer appointment and assisting them in doing so. Furthermore, our team was on hand after the appointment to follow up with the customer within two weeks to ensure the recall had been completed.
More than 95,000 calls were made to customer during one recall campaign.
While delivering these calls to customers, quality assurance measures were used to ensure the team delivered the message to customers in the right way.
Across the entire recall period, the team scored an average 94% when “Educating the customer fully and escalating when needed” – a vital part of the recall support we offered our client!
