Delivering a great customer experience is vital for any organisation, whatever their sector. A customer satisfied with your service is more likely to:

  • Buy the car or finance agreement if they like and trust the way you operate.
  • Display loyalty and advocacy to help support sales in the long-term.

Investing in the customer experience

​Although many feared the impact of the updated Consumer Credit (CONC) framework when it was introduced, we felt its consumer-centric nature gave dealers a great opportunity to display trust and security to enhance their customers’ experiences. That’s why we’ve continued to invest in the support we give dealers in this area.

Black Horse customer contact programme

Our Customer Contact Programme (CCP) highlights our investment. It’s a simple process to help dealers boost the customer experience.

How CCP works

We ask a sample of clients to share their experience, usually within 48 hours of signing their agreement. Based on their response, your Account Manager will feed back to you by either:

  • Highlighting any areas you might want to review – perhaps amending a procedure or ensuring a particular compliance issue is given greater emphasis.
  • Confirming your business is delivering a positive customer experience with examples of outstanding service.

Benefitting the customer

If an issue of greater concern is raised, we can work with you to resolve the matter. This could be extra individual or business-wide training programmes to help instruct on the right ways to match CONC requirements.

Throughout, the aim is not to monitor the way you trade with customers, but to support you in creating great customer experiences and helping you deliver transparent, effective and compliant financial guidance.
