Emotions Drive Most Purchases
Customers buy a different car or truck because they want to, not because they need to. The more excited they are when they’re on the lot, the more likely they are to buy. (Think about it – when people are cautious, aren’t we all less likely to buy?) Their positive emotions come from the sights, …
When You Can’t Change “What Is” You Have To Let Go Of “What Was”
And that’s the problem some people are having… When it comes to adapting and adjusting, some can, and some can’t. Because we talk to so many dealerships every day, we hear both, ‘I can’ & ‘I can’t’ – even in the same markets, with the same issues. Even with the pandemic shutdowns, safety and sanitation …
Clear Goals = Fast Recovery
To get through this ‘stuff’ the most critical activity now is to have clear goals and plans to get you back on top. A positive statement: “I’m going to get through this” isn’t a goal, just a statement with nothing to back it up. Unrealistic goals like, “I’m going to work hard and make 10 …
How do I stay motivated?
How do I keep my head on straight right now? In my newsletter for auto Dealers and Managers this month, I reminded them that this month that now is the time to… Dig your way ‘up’ and ‘out’ of this, instead of ‘down’ and ‘deeper’ into it. The question focuses on the critical part of …
How bad is business now?
How bad is business for most dealerships? There is no general answer to that right now. Seems like most of the US and Canada were in a lockdown and most dealerships couldn’t open for sales, and many may be slowly reopening over the next month. During this time, I’d hope that most of those were …
Open For Business…
ARE YOU READY?Of course you’re ready to get back to work, the real question is…ARE YOU PREPARED? ————— In my monthly newsletters, I’ve talked about how important it is to be prepared as states allow more people to get out of the house and back to work. Everybody is taking a hit and nobody expects …
Congratulations, Brandon!
“Even with the pandemic, I sold 22 units and was #1 in March after your sales workshop.” “I’ve been in the car business 2 years, and was already doing good averaging about 15 cars a month when the opportunity came up to attend your sales workshop. I knew what I would learn at your class …
It’s Your Career – How far will you take it?
There is a ton of opportunity to grow for 2 reasons… 1. Experts say to expect 17’ish million units again this year, people got tax cuts, companies got breaks and can keep more employed or raise their pay. 2. 80% of the salespeople down the street are below average. That means your competition isn’t very …
Making $100,000 and Going Strong…
“I earn over $100,000 and train on JVTN® almost every day.” “I’ve been in the car business for 30 years and I have had access to JVTN® (Joe Verde online training) for the last 7 years at my dealership. Joe’s training and constant training on JVTN® is a religion at our dealership because no matter …
Is it goal setting – or is it magic?
Goal setting is the best kept secret in the world and it’s the closest thing there is to real magic. It’s simple, and it’s powerful. You figure out what you want, then write a very detailed plan on how you’ll get it, and then presto – if you just follow your plan, 94% of the …
Stop Killing Your Sales
Stop bringing up down payment, payments, trades and price to select a vehicle – it’s killing your sales volume and your income. I was headed to a class and sat next to a woman on the flight. We started talking about cars and she told me she had just gotten a new one. I asked …
Goals Control Success
If you read my blog, you’ve probably remember me talking about how to grow from the bottom up. It’s really a very simple and logical process. Just keep improving your lowest months. That makes sense, but what about your highest months? More good news: by eliminating your bad months, you’ll also sell more on the …
Asking Questions…
Ask Joe: Why is asking questions so important? Because “Telling Isn’t Selling”Pros don’t tell their way to a sale, they ask their way to the sale. Everything in ‘selling a product’, depends on you asking the right questions. You need the right questions to… • turn an incoming call or lead into an appointment, • …
Secrets to Success…
Ask Joe: “I want to make $100,000 every year – where do I start?” We get this question a lot in class and through our ‘Ask Joe’ emails. That’s why I wrote these 3 books… • “How To Sell A Car” • “Earn Over $100,000 Every Year Selling Cars”• “Goal Setting For Salespeople” ‘Sell’ is …
How much do you make per hour?
Why learn more? Why does it matter? How much do you make per hour in sales? If you assume a 45 hour week x 50 weeks… $ 50,000 per year = $ 22 per hour$100,000 per year = $ 44 per hour$200,000 per year = $ 89 per hour$300,000 per year = $133 per hour$400,000 …
What Works Best for a Walkaround…?
Ask Joe: Why should a 6-Point Walkaround be a ‘Targeted’ 2 or 3-Point Walkaround instead? I was a judge at a walkaround contest held by the manufacturer. The best product sales experts from every region were there. They came on stage with the vehicles they’d present and the crowds roared (OK, no roar, but they …
