Your Support Group May Be Holding You Back
Unfortunately, more than half of the people reading this are stuck… Because they weren’t paying attention to what was happening, they’re… stuck with an average attitude, stuck with poor work habits in sales, stuck with skills that don’t work, and all of that means they’re stuck at average or below in sales and income. Why? …
Expand Your Used Vehicle Inventory
If you had 2 or 3 times as many units on the used car lot as customers ask for, could you sell more every month? You actually do have that many or more, but instead of expanding your inventory, salespeople actually shrink the options your customers have. What do I mean? Isn’t this how most …
Went From 14.5 To 20.5 Units
From 14.5 to 20.5 by going to ‘work to work’ and following your 8 steps. “Joe, I have been in the car business just over one year and was averaging 14.5 before you class, which wasn’t bad, but I wanted more. In your Selling Skills Workshop, I realized I wasn’t working very effectively, so …
Really…?
I got an email from someone who justified not using what I cover. Why? He counted the times I used the word most. (I also get grief about using run-on sentences, and now and then I get a hit on my grammar – go figure.) I use ‘most’ so often because most means more than …
Doubled My Units, Tripled My Income
“After your workshop, I doubled my units and almost tripled my income.” “Before your Sales Class, I was pretty much just figuring out how to do this on my own and was averaging 10 a month and about $4,000 in commission.

Just Closed On A Home…
From 10 to 14 and my first home…” “Joe – I’ve been in the car business 3 years and was a solid 10 car guy before I attended your Sales Workshop. After really understanding the process and by following your 8 steps to the sale, my current average is now 14.5. The biggest change for …
Avoid Handing Out Your Dismissal Slip…
“I’ll think it over and get back to you,” is one of the easiest objections to bypass and handle. Instead of dropping the price or handing them your dismissal slip (business card) try this instead: “Bob, help me out for a second before you leave … this seems like the perfect vehicle for you guys, …
How long does it take to change a habit?
We’ve all heard, “It takes 21 days to change a habit.” Then I read it takes 28 days, and then I realized that when you’re trying to break a bad habit and replace it with a good habit, you better give it 60 or 90 days instead. If you’ll commit to doing just 3 things …
Manage Your Activities
Want a 13th month of pay, without spending any more time at work? Sure, Joe, but what’s the catch? What if there is no catch – what if you can just tighten up your day so you can use more of it on activities that lead directly to more sales? Some things are just about …
From 10 Units to 31!
“I had my best month ever…” “Before I started training on JVTN® I was selling 10-12 units/month. I must admit I didn’t have a clue what I was doing, so I was excited when my store provided me with training. I changed my greeting, learned the steps of the sale and now I make sure …
A New Chapter In Life
Another year of school for kids, and for some it’s the start of a new chapter of their life called ‘work’. We all had to take classes in subjects that didn’t apply to what we’d do in the future. Worse we had to pass, so we could graduate. So we studied, and I’m sure you …
Keep Up Your Momentum
How can I keep my momentum going after I sell something? When runners hit that sweet spot on a long run, they get a runner’s high, that second wind. They’ve reached the point where they’re at their optimum performance level. If they stopped then to take a break, they’d lose the momentum they worked so …
Being Productive
“Am I doing the most productive thing possible right now?” Write this question down on a few business cards and put this note to yourself everywhere – so you’re constantly reminded to “work” when you’re at work. Put a card on your dashboard, on your telephone at work, in your pocket so you’re reminded every …
Went From 9 To 24!
“From 9 units a month to 24 the month I attended your class.” “I‘ve been in the car business 7 months, my first couple of months I was averaging about 9 units, then I attended Joe’s Closing Workshop.
