AMJLR-Reynolds and Reynolds CRM Pilot Project Plan


Updated After Project Planning Meetings on 01/07/03

Proposed CRM Pilot Plan:


We will implement Contact Management along with CRM Business Processes at five (5) selected AMJLR retailers as a
proof of concept. The proof of concept will validate the viability of the AMJLR strategy, the Reynolds and Reynolds
installation and training methodology as well as the Contact Management product itself. Upon successful completion of
the proof of concept implementations we will proceed with rollout of Reynolds CRM Business Processes
Implementation and/or Contact Management technology to the balance of AMJLR retailers.
The pilot is designed to track and measure the results of a few select retailers to determine the potential ROI of rolling
out of the initiative to the rest of the AMJLR retailer body. We anticipate the pilot will:

Help retailers increase short-term sales volume and PVR profits.


Improve customer perceived value received from dealer to customer communications.
Increase Sales Closing Ratios on Business Opportunities delivered to dealers via showroom visitors,
incoming phone calls and Internet based customer inquiries.
Prepare retailers to deliver a AMJLR experience to their customers.
Demonstrate the value proposition and ROI of Reynolds Generation Series CRM solutions.
