What if a Word Could Help You Make a Sale?

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Dec. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Dealers looking for the magic word to describe cars on their vehicle description pages may now have the answer they've been seeking. In the third installment of CDK Global's Language of Closers research, CDK sought to understand what words are most likely to convert customers by vehicle type.

"Jargon isn't helping convert potential customers," said Jason Kessler, lead data scientist at CDK Global. "We identified clear differences in the words resonating most for SUV shoppers compared with people looking for a sedan. In this latest analysis, we also found words associated with emotion or feeling, such as family or luxury, rated higher for converting customers on some vehicle types."

Top performing words by vehicle type include:

SUV: Room, Price, Family

Sedan: Passing, Climate, Comfort

Mid-Size Sedan: Luxury, Expensive, Impressed

Truck: Trailer, Towing, Reliable

"Dealers can make tiny adjustments to the words they use and reap the benefits," continued Kessler. "Customers will better understand the features of their potential next car and hopefully develop an emotional connection to their purchase. It's a win for the customer and the dealer, when you use the right words."
