1. On a nightly basis, Vital Insights receives a feed from VWG with your dealership’s Sales data. Your Service data is extracted via Vital Insights’ third party through your Data Management System (DMS).
2. Providing that an email address was entered in the system within the customer file, the survey is automatically sent to the customer 2-3 calendar days after closing the Service RO, and after 5 days for Sales events.
3. The customer will receive the survey in their inbox (please see page 6 to view the Subject Line and “from” email address of the survey).
4. The customer will then have the opportunity to complete the survey.
5. Once the survey has been completed, if the customer responded to any of the premium questions with a response below 7 on the sliding scale, or “No” on the yes/no questions, this will trigger an issue. Email notifications are sent to individuals within the dealership to alert you of the issue.
6. The Issue Resolution process will need to begin. Please see page 9 to view an in-depth explanation of the Issue Resolution process.
7. If, within your system, the customer file did not have an email address, these records will be directed into the CES Undelivered Emails section.
8. It will be the responsibility of the dealer to call any customer that falls into the Undelivered Emails section and to collect an email address.
9. A survey can be sent out via the Undelivered Emails section. Please see the CES User Guide to view an in-depth explanation of how to perform actions within the Undelivered Emails section.

Section 5: Issue Resolution Process
How long will surveys be held before they are sent out to customers?
• To ensure that customers do not receive a survey before they have taken delivery of a vehicle, or picked up their serviced vehicle, CES pro-vides a delay feature to postpone the delivery of the survey:
• Service surveys will be sent out three (3) days after an RO is closed. • Sales surveys will be held for five (5) calendar days.
1. Once an issue is received, the Manager for the specific event type (i.e. Sales Manager for Sales surveys, and Service Manager for Service surveys) is then automatically assigned to the issue. An email alert is also sent out indicating to those individuals that an issue was assigned to them within CES.
2. If Management decides to re-assign the issue after reviewing it, this can be done within CES via the Action tab.
3. The individual that the issue has been assigned to will be responsible for following up with the customer within five (5) business days.
4. All comments and actions performed are logged within CES through the Action tab.
5. Once the issue has been resolved with the customer, the individual that the issue was assigned to, or the Manager, can then close the issue within CES.
6. A follow-up email is sent to the customer asking if their concerns have been addressed. The customer has the ability to respond positively or negatively to this email, and the response will determine whether or not the issue was resolved successfully; thus affecting your Issue Resolution. Please note that your CES Score will not change, however your Issue Resolution score will be positively affected if the issue is resolved successfully with the customer.

How many days will a dealer have to resolve customer issues?
• One of the KPIs built directly into the issue resolution process is the Issue Resolution target. The Issue Resolution target is the number of days between receipt of a below threshold survey and the date the issue is closed (date appears in real-time on dealer dashboard).
• Dealers will be given five (5) business days to respond to customer issues within the dashboard for Sales and Service.
• Days will accumulate in business days and NOT calendar days.
How many days does the customer have to answer the follow-up email?
• Customers will have 5 calendar days to respond to the follow-up email. • If the customer does NOT respond after 5 calendar days, the default ‘Yes’ response will be utilized.
What is the threshold for each module?
• Alerts will be triggered for a score of a 7 or below, or a “No” to any of the premium questions.
Who is the default recipient for Auto Assignment?
• Default issue assignment will automatically be sent to the Sales Manager or Service Manager. • If the designated roles are not available at the dealer, the system will default the Issue Assignment to the General Manager. If there is no
General Manager setup in the system, the default will be the Dealer Principal.
