Focus on Yesterday to Sell More Today!
Success lies ahead, but you have to know your past to improve. And let’s be clear on one thing; working double shifts will not improve and stabilize your average. If you pay attention, when you do double shifts and sell 4 more that month, you’ll notice the next month you drop down about 4, because …
Your Future Is At Stake
Every salesperson struggles with the future, that is, until they realize they control their future in sales.

Build your own Prospect Gold Mine
Happens every day: You spent time, didn’t make the sale and they left. You know the stats: 78% (8 of 10) came to buy, and that doesn’t change, just because they left. That means your hottest prospect for a quick & easy sale just drove away. Averages: 33% (3 out of 9) who leave will …
Small Paycheck Or Big Paycheck?
After 50+ years of selling and training, I know most salespeople don’t realize how lucky they are to work for a dealer who provides them with training on how to sell more, because 80% do not offer training. Unfortunately, too many salespeople in our industry are taught less about selling than fast food workers are …
Learn More = Earn More!
Some say they don’t think they should have to read this, or go to class or use the courses on JVTN® they have access to. My only question to you is… Do you really NOT want to earn more? Most salespeople ignore that ‘earning more’ is the real question. They also ignore that their decision …

Develop Skills to Avoid 2 Sales Killers
My biggest challenges with developing my skills started with taking everything I learned about selling pots and pans, real estate, insurance, etc., and reworking that into the specific words & phrases I’d need to use selling cars. Then came processes. Selling pots and pans or insurance going door to door, isn’t the same process you’d …
Sales are up after class!
From 12 a month to 19.5 after your class! “I had been working in Service for 4 years, before I started selling cars. I sold cars for 5 months, and really enjoyed it – and I just got back from the Joe Verde Sales Workshop. Before I went to the class, I was averaging about 12 …

A response we hear about using Scripts again & again…
“You tell us to say ‘exactly’ what you’re saying and in the same order, but everybody is different, so I need to play it out as it goes.” True: Everyone is different. Some tall, some are not. Some are young, some are old. Some have lots of money, some have hardly any. How we all …
Turn Lost $ales Into More $$$ On Payday
Your goal is to get the people who didn’t buy from you back in for a second chance. And I have no idea who taught us to wait 3 days. Quick facts… You’ve done 80% of the work, and when you get that customer back on the lot, most of them will buy. 1. Get …
Are you pretending to be someone else?
So many of us spend our lives pretending that we’re someone else… I’m not talking about the ‘you’ that you present to others, I’m talking about the ‘you in your head’ that controls what you do, or don’t do. It took me close to 40 years to finally understand that I can be the person …

Will you turn ‘pro’ without ever practicing?
Would a golfer become a pro if they just watched videos and never practiced? No way! I played golf with dozens of people who couldn’t hit anything they were hoping to. They’d spend a ton on the best equipment, pay hundreds to play on a beautiful course, leave frustrated, but wouldn’t spend $50 to pay …

You know how frustrating it is, when you need help and you can’t get in touch with someone or can’t get them to return your calls? It’s even worse when you have an important question. Join the club, because that’s exactly how your customers feel, too. Every call from them is just as important to …
