“It has been perceived that the stipulation of targets on the dealer by the company can drive the performance of car exchange business. Every car manufacturer assigns certain targets for each dealer which they have to achieve every month by encouraging their sales and marketing personnel. The companies can assign targets which will state that out of the overall car sales, a fixed proportion of sales have to be through exchange. This will inherently encourage the dealer to put more efforts on marketing and train their personnel to convince customer to exchange their old cars.” according to the Research Analyst, Ken Research.
