If you do everything right, when you close, they’re relieved. Having said that, most people are afraid of making a bad decision, so they toss a ‘No’, or ‘Not sure’, ‘Need to think it over / Talk about it / Sleep on it / Thought we’d get more for our car / Payments are higher …

Think Like An Attorney In Court

Think of buyers as jurors… Without your ‘discovery’, you can’t convince them that this is the right vehicle for them to take home now.

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. If you pay attention, when you do double shifts and sell 4 more that month, you’ll notice the next month you drop down about 4, because …

How Are Sales Across The Country?

Climbing a mountain or riding a roller coaster?

Are you climbing the mountain or riding the ‘up & down’ roller coaster in sales? One of the most common questions, and one of the most common “Yeah buts” I get – are about growth. “I try, and always end up the same each year.” The biggest problem is that salespeople confuse ‘trying to grow’ …

How will you treat your next prospect?

A. Do you assume everyone is a buyer, and head out with a smile on your face and a spring in your step, as you ‘welcome’ them to your dealership? B. Or do you kinda stand back, watch them for a minute or two to see what they’re looking at, while you decide whether you …
