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 …

Listen More & Talk Less
You have 2 ears & 1 mouth. If you want to sell more, listen more & talk less. Most people don’t listen well and salespeople are no exception – in fact we may be worse than everyone else. Why? Because we have an agenda, “Make A Sale”! That “I need to sell this” thinking is …
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, …
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 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 …

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 …
Getting A $1,000 Raise
“I’ve already given myself a $1,000 raise.” “I have been in the car business for 4 months. My first month was a training month for me. But after that, I hit the ground running. My first month I sold 8, then 13 and last month 11 and I’ve been top salesperson the last 3 months …
