Experience vs. Skills & Attitude

About experience in sales… 1. If all it took was experience to get better at selling and closing, and if I look back at my time in sales, other than the COVID bonanza on income the last few years, if I haven’t been continually improving my skills, it’s on me…not our inventory, market, etc. ❑ …

Do you sell everything or just the ones you like?

Your Questioning Skills

Questions control your success in sales – not your product, your product knowledge, your location, inventory or your prices. It took me a year to buy 3 vehicles in 2022, in part because of inventory. When I was shopping, most salespeople were new, and didn’t know me or what I do, and 80% of the …

Turn Lost ‘New’ Sales Into ‘Used’ Deliveries

At my last dealership, we averaged about 20 salespeople and sold 250-300 new and used. Four of us though, sold 100+ between us, and of my 30ish a month, at least a third were used. I moved a lot of new vehicle buyers to used and a lot of used to new. But you can’t …
