ROADBLOCKS TO THE NATIONAL STAGE

AWARENESS

low awareness and little understanding of carLotz and the offerings

consignment model, risk offloaded by carLotz, etc.

THE STORE ENVIRONMENT

creating a place that emits ease and comfort, where people want to come - to work and to buy or sell cars.

working street signs, comfortable chairs, welcoming ambiance, etc.

EMPLOYEE MORALE

employees are the most valuable business tool and have a direct and significant impact on profitability.

happy employees = active ambassadors, great customer service; unhappy employees = poor service and sales.

WHAT WE HEARD

STRATEGY

create a frictionless private selling and used car buying experience.

CONSUMERS

people wanting to sell their cars (consignment or trade-in), people wanting to buy used cars, and corporate customers like fleet management companies that give us their off-lease vehicles

EXECUTION

step one: a recommended name change.

step two: change in-store experience for customers and employees.

clunky computers distract employees from interacting with guests. ipads will replace desktop computers so they can travel around the space freely.

create a work environment where people want to come to work. give new employees a welcome pack to help them feel like they belong and can stand behind steward.
