Dealing with the Added Mark Up
Ask Joe: “How do I deal with the added mark up when a customer complains about it?” It sounds like chip shortages will continue to disrupt vehicle production this year. As long as dealers have a shortage, almost all new vehicle prices will be way above value. Limited new vehicles also creates demand and over …
How Can I Sell More?
This is another frequent question we get, and it’s the easiest one to answer. You’ll see workers and waiters in almost every job. A lot of people get paid the same, whether they work or wait. Not so for salespeople, though. You’re in a profession that pays for one thing, and one thing only … …
One of the Most Common Questions We’re Having…
Let’s talk about the questions we’re getting now… “Joe, why do you keep talking about your 8 steps to the sale when we have almost no inventory to sell? In real life, we either have the car they want or we don’t, and they either buy it or they don’t.” ————— I love it when …
PRICE or VALUE
You can’t do double-speak in sales. You either build value or get stuck on price. You have to learn to separate the transaction (paying for it) from the value of owning it. Transactions should take place inside, after you have a commitment to purchase. When I say don’t talk ‘price’ on the lot, I’m always …

Develop More Skills & Improve Your Process
When I was stuck at selling about 8 a month, I was real cocky about defending myself when it came to why I didn’t sell more. I was convinced that with my years of experience, I was good at selling, and if I had a bad month, it wasn’t my fault. When I started learning …
Stop Wasting Your Day Waiting For An ‘Up’
A lot of salespeople spend most of their day just waiting and hoping. They hope for traffic, hope they’ll get an ‘up’, hope that person is serious, hope there’s a unit in stock they’ll want to buy, and hope they can and will take it home today. WOW! That’s just way too much ‘hope’ to …
Your Words Matter
Buying things, especially something expensive like a vehicle that people don’t really need to buy, is an emotional process. That means the words you say either move them forward to purchase, slow things down, or turn them off completely. Example: The customer is looking at an SUV to pull their Airstream… How many times have …
Learn More = Earn More!
Some say they don’t think they should have to read this, or go to class or really dig in to courses on JVTN® they have access to. My question to you is… “Do you want to earn more $$$ or not?” Most salespeople ignore that ‘earning more’ is the real question. They also ignore that …
Your “Words” Control Your Success
Most salespeople say they hate scripts, because ‘they sound phony’ or ‘don’t work’ or some other reason to justify not learning new things that are more effective. If that’s you – surprise… Everything you say now is scripted. Understand that your scripts are your ‘skills’ and your skills control your success. If you’re selling 8 …
Doubled Units, Tripled Gross
I more than doubled my units & tripled my gross with Joe’s training! “When I first started selling cars, my manager told me to just go talk to people and that I’d get the hang of it. I didn’t, so a year later I reached out to The Joe Verde Group and I started with …
Hammer, Pliers & Baling Wire
I grew up on a 250 acre ‘barely get along’ farm with my grandparents. Gramps didn’t have enough money to buy many tools, so when things broke, we either couldn’t fix it or it took forever … all because we didn’t have the right tools to use. Everybody says they want to sell more & …
What’s Your ‘One Thing’…?
There’s always ‘one thing’ (or more) that you can improve! What If You Could Learn The ‘One Thing’…? ● one question you could ask to break the ice quickly, when you first meet someone● one sales process you could follow every time, to sell more● one question to move away from price, so you could …
“27 cars in my 2nd month!”
“3 weeks of Joe’s training before I was allowed to talk to a customer.” “Getting into the car business was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I’m so glad my dealership values your training and provided it for me. I have a boss and manager who believed in me, and pushed me out …
Quick Solutions…
In sales, everything matters… Who buys – men or women? A Forbes report in 2019 showed that women buy 62% of the new cars in the U.S. and influence 9 out of 10 vehicle purchases. (Tip: If you aren’t sure about the stats, ask your wife.) Women tend to be more practical and ask more …
Setting Goals Means Doing ‘Better’ & That Means ‘Different’
More Success Requires A Trade… Everybody says they want more. With clear goals, they could easily have it. The problem is almost always about the ‘trades’ they’ll have to make that stop them. Two examples… Your Goal: Get more appointments and more people asking for you every month, so you can sell more and earn …
Ask your way to the sale!
As the 8 car guy my first 5 years, the only questions I asked were; how much down, what payments did you want, do you have a trade, what do you owe, how’s your credit, are you ready to buy today? Before I sold cars again, I learned more about selling and I learned why …
Good vs. Getting Better
80% of salespeople are average – and I know a lot of you who read this every month aren’t just average – you’re good, so congratulations. My question is, “Do you want to get even better?” In the last 3 months on my blog we’ve covered • Goal Setting • Asking Better Questions • Things …
