“Our goal was to provide a collaborative, interactive and value-added session for these top Manheim customers – one that would allow attendees to learn about Manheim’s future direction, give them hands-on experience with our products, and show them the work underway to simplify their experience with us,” said Barnard. “I was so delighted to see so many of our customers asking questions, sharing their perspectives and having fun.” |

Client Advisory Board (CAB) attendees were treated to a variety of informative presentations and several interactive break-out sessions, including the first-ever product fair, where customers could “play” with Manheim’s latest digital and in-lane product innovations. The company’s product managers were on hand to answer customer questions, listen to their ideas and use customer input to enhance the overall customer experience. Breakout sessions also showed customers how they can better use Manheim’s data as a strategic advantage to simplify their business, as well as increase their access to digital and in-lane channels and tools. |
