Crazy Question…

Seems like a crazy question, but do you actually want to make $100,000+ every year selling cars? With inventory shortages in the last 3 years, a lot of salespeople made $100K.

Do you sell everything or just the ones you like?

It’s one thing to sell your favorite vehicle that your dealership offers. It’s another thing to care enough, learn enough, and try just as hard to sell those you don’t like. In one of the first classes I held for Toyota, we were talking about investigating who it’s for, etc., so we can select the …

Choices…

I read “Choices” by Shad Helmstetter. After just a few pages, I knew I wasn’t going to like it. The more I read, the more I really didn’t like it. I couldn’t stop, because as I read more, I was forced to realize that almost everything that happens is just the result of our choices. …

Whether it’s 1, 2 or 20 units, you know you can sell more. What’s the only thing average salespeople can teach you?

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 …

What’s your story?

I was watching a program about how people either stay the same or change. The end point was that we all either write our own story in life, or life will write it for us. Think about it. Aren’t our life experiences broken into chapters; kid, teenager, adult, soldier, bartender, salesperson, trainer, etc.? If yours …

Success comes at a price!

So many people confuse ‘waiting’ with ‘working’. They want more sales without more effort, but… “The only place in the world where success comes before work, is in the dictionary.” Quick story: It was a rainy day and I’d contacted all my prospects from hot to cold. My coldest was a farmer out in Riverside …

Wages for Waiting = $0

But how much you can earn in sales is unlimited!

‘Closing’ & ‘Objections’

Closing: Everything that moves the sale forward. And of course, getting that final TMO ‘total mental ownership’ commitment is closing. Objections: They’re just speed bumps! Some are easy, some are tough. Overcoming them is closing, too. I have 100 or so closes I’ve used. Some almost never, and about 10 were my ‘go to’ closes’ …
