When
it comes to business, everything today boils down to customer experience.
Maslow’s need hierarchy would describe the experience as a clear classification
of needs. Where on the pyramid does your business stand? Are you focusing on
fulfilling just the needs and wants of the service user, or are struggling to
delight him? Let’s face it; there are innumerable players in the market. Not
all are focused on leading. Some are still in the nascent stages of their business,
and therefore, operate under constraints.
Cost
might be one factor that limits them from putting up hefty discounts on their
packages. That said, the car hire industry is getting pretty competitive. It
shouldn’t surprise you if you come across an ad campaign on Facebook, by a car
hire service provider, that reads like a happy hour offer. While we are talking
things that need to be kept poles apart from each other (don’t mix booze with
driving); however, that don’t ban service providers from taking a cue and
serving as a hot one on one car hire trip.
If
this is your first stint with a car hire provider, be double sure that you are
making the right choice. Sure that there are innumerable operators in the
market, so you can make a switch. But, if your very first experience leaves you
with sour memories, you will definitely feel disheartened to try it out the
next time. Going by the brand promise is a wise decision in case you are
thinking about hiring a car.
Now
that you have shortlisted a few names, how about asking some people about their
real life experiences with the car hire? You can do this either by looking at
the customer testimonials, which get you only 50 percent of the truth, or can
think about asking frequent travelers who believe in car hire as a travelling
option.
Although
you might perceive it as an outdated technique of marketing, word of mouth is
one of the most effective ways of culling out information. And, most
of the times the information is accurate. Say for example, a friend tells you
about his exceptional experience on a trip by road to Lonavala, take his word.
He would have really praised the car hire service provider for making his trip
a great one.
Done with the shortlisting stage? Now adopt the
rejection method to come one with the one final service provider that you will be
contacting for your trip. The following steps explain how to do this:
- Decide your budget, needs and requirements from the hirer
- List the rent and the services of the car hire service provider
- Do this for all shortlisted names
- Now match the needs with the actual services being provided
- Rate on the basis of service efficiency and cost-savings
In this manner you will be able to find yourself a car hire service provider who will service your needs well.
