Even with a slight decrease in the total number of units sold year-by-year, Mitsubishi Motor Philippines Corporation (MMPC) concluded 2018 on a positive note. The Diamond brand reported an increase in its market share – from 14.98% in 2017 to 18.89% in 2018 – securing its spot as the second best-selling car brand in the country. A remarkable feat, considering that the Philippine automotive industry had a slight setback in total sales last year due to the TRAIN law.
Among the reasons for this growth is MMPC’s effort to engage in a new age of car buying that utilizes the online platform. AutoDeal.com.ph, the country’s number one online automotive marketplace, has been a sales catalyst for several Mitsubishi dealerships spread across the country, enabling fast connection between the car buyer and the dealer.
As of date, 21 out of 51 Mitsubishi dealerships have signed up to AutoDeal as a partner dealer. These partner dealers enjoy the accessibility of the online platform, as well as the benefits of promoting monthly offers and getting instant feedback from their customers. In 2018 alone, a total of 15,240 leads were sent to these Mitsubishi partner dealers.
With these advantages, the Mitsubishi partner dealers were able to provide a positive customer experience to their customers, as reflected by several feedback scores that occur every time a sales agent marks a lead as sold in the AutoDeal for Agents mobile application.
