If you were in a play, would you practice your lines?
Sure. You wouldn’t want to embarrass yourself in front of strangers. The next person on your lot is more important than a stranger at a play, and in 2 hours you can earn $300-$500+ if you practice what you’re supposed to be saying and doing during those 2 hours. If you’re on JVTN®, there are …

Focus on Yesterday to Sell More Today!
Success lies ahead, but you have to know your past to improve. And let’s be clear on one thing; working double shifts will not improve and stabilize your average.

How Are Sales Across The Country?
A great question… I just attended the National Auto Dealers Association (NADA) convention in January. It was my 38th with a booth and for 38 years, the answers are the same… Half think it’ll be a great year, the rest are waiting for the sky to fall. Back in 2020 and 2021, COVID killed so …
