Other Ways to Target the Right Fleets for Replacement or Repair

With an average replacement age of 3-5 years for light to medium duty trucks, identifying buying cycles with data is the key to improving your sales. But there are other strategies you can pair with RigDigBI to make it even more effective. Some of those strategies include:

Customer Surveys and Feedback: You could conduct surveys or interviews with existing customers to gather insights into their purchasing intentions and timelines. Pairing this strategy with RigDig BI’s data allows you to segment and prioritize prospects and customers before you contact them.

Historical Sales Data Analysis: Review the historical sales data of your business to identify patterns and trends in customers’ buying behavior. Then, see how your past sales line up with the buying cycles you identified with RigDig BI. Are you missing out on opportunities?
