A Few Things To Understand About Today’s Market
About Today’s Market… A lot of buyers and salespeople have retreated to a bunker and are trying to hide from the storm. We’re all faced with higher prices, and yesterday here in South Orange County, I paid $6.99 for gas. Buyers are cautious about everything they buy now, and that means cars, too. So if …
Stuff That Matters Every Time
Even though 8 out of 10 came to buy, impulses control the outcome. When you’re dancing (not the jerky kind), someone has to lead. Same with sales. If you wander around waiting for them to take the lead, most will wander off the lot soon. Repeating ‘do you have any questions?’ means you didn’t learn …
Attitude Is Everything
Attitudes are your most important tool to sell more, especially now, while everything is going on. When you walk out with a spring in your step & a smile on your face to greet every customer, you just buried the last 3 salespeople they met down the street, and that’s before you even say anything. …
Customer Satisfaction

Why settle for ‘just average’ when you have no limits?
There are people selling 40, 50, 60 and 80 units per month, and earning $100,000, $200,000, $300,000 and $500,000+ per year. So please toss those chains you’re wearing, and stop allowing yourself to get stuck in that 8 to 10 units, or less, and $40,000 to $60,000 a year rut. Those are just average units …
Are You Working Or Waiting To Work?
You have the opportunity to make a $300 or $500 or $1,000 commission 4 times every day. Instead of developing sales skills and having the discipline to follow 8 simple steps, most salespeople settle for an average voucher every 2 or 3 days. And then explain to family and friends that it isn’t their fault, …
Stop saying you can’t!
I keep trying to talk you into selling more, but first you have to believe that you can. The first step to selling more is to stop saying you can’t. A few questions… • Can an 8 car SP sell one more and hit 9? Seriously, of course! • How would they achieve that? A …
Closing Sales & Handling Objections
Closing sales is so easy and so much fun – the only catch is that you have to learn and practice everything you’ll use, until you can use it all perfectly. As I was learning more, I studied all the time when I wasn’t with a customer, then I tried to apply it when I …

Skipping the Demo…
About those good & bad habits! The more you do something, the stronger the habit will become. If you skip a demo today, it will be easier to skip one tomorrow. And most already have the habit and skip the demo 2 or 3 times every day. Problem: No Demo = No Sale People don’t …
Create Mental Ownership
One of the most important things you can do in sales is to plant those positive seeds of them using the vehicle and them behind the wheel. The catch: You can’t talk about them using the new car or truck or being behind the wheel unless you dig in (investigate) to learn more about who …

Selling at the Pro Level
Selling at a professional level is… An 8 Step Process,Not A Casual ConversationWith A Closing Question.

No Manual When I Needed It!
I hadn’t used my drone lately and needed it for a video of my property. It’s off grid with no internet connection, so I couldn’t get to the manual on how to link to the controller. I wish I’d downloaded it sooner, so I’d had it when I needed it. I did that today! Download …
It’s about the Journey, not the Destination
A lot of people feel that when they make $50K or even $100K or get a new car or house, they’ve arrived. They should feel great, but there’s no such thing as standing still in anything. You have to continually improve your skills, your sales & income, your health and everything else that’s important to …
