Started with zero experience…
“Joe, how many units can someone realistically sell in today’s market?” When I got out of the Army, I started selling cars with zero experience. My first 5 years as an 8 car guy, I never met and rarely heard of anyone selling more than 12 or 15. If we did hear about someone selling …
Best month at 25 units!
“I just had my best month ever at 25!” “Hello Joe – I just wanted to say thanks for creating such a user-friendly program and an easy-to-follow process on ‘everything’ sales, that anyone can follow. I have been selling cars at my dealership for 2½ years, and I love working here, and with the training they …
“Joe, I just wanted to say Thank You!!!”
“I have been in sales 12 years, with little or no training, until I came to The Serpentini Group, three months ago. I was introduced to your online sales training (JVTN®) from day one, and I have been a sponge ever since. One of the first chapters I watched said to throw away ‘if I …
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 …
3 More Common Mistakes…
Salespeople make mistakes in the 8 steps to a sale that cost them those extra sales they want. 2. They skip the demo. 90% No Demo = No Sale After the demo, the 3 steps of closing are a summary close on the benefits, followed by an assumptive close, and then several action closes. 3. …
Speed Skills Learning More
You can’t develop skills by watching as many chapters as fast as you can. Like a sport, to get better you have to practice. The same is true for each skill we teach. If you want to sell more cars and make more money, partner up with someone to practice with – take 1 chapter …
Think About It!
Do you recall anyone on the lot ever getting super excited when you tell them their trade is worth $5,000 less than their payoff, and they’ll probably need about 10 grand down, just to keep their payments under $1,000 for 96 months? OK, yeah that’s extreme, but you get the point, right? People get excited …
Want better results? Develop your skills slower
Develop your skills slower and you’ll make more money sooner! The biggest mistake too many people make taking my online courses to develop new skills, is ‘watching’ as many chapters as they can as fast as they can. JVTN® has 20+ different sales courses, each with about 20 chapters on what we teach in our …
Perfect Practice Develops Perfect Skills
In our 2-day workshop, I always teach my simple 5 step process to find the next buyer in a household by asking just 5 questions. I have everyone write down each question, look at it for a minute, then turn it upside down. Then I ask someone to ask me those 5 short questions I …
You’ve got 2 ways to sell more – only 1 is permanent
Example: A 10 car salesperson works all the extra hours they can and sells 13 the 1st month, and 12 the 2nd month. The 3rd month, they sell 8. Why? Because they picked a plan that totally relies on a limited supply of effort, instead of setting a goal and creating a plan to improve …
It isn’t about price!
Early on in my business, I’d been using an old printer and it was slowly dying on the vine, so it was time to get a new Printer / Scanner. The problem was I didn’t even know where to start, so I went to Best Buy, and a guy walked over and asked if I …
Better Questions & Better Responses
To develop better questions & responses (scripts), do this… Work on one JVTN® course at a time (or what we cover in here.) We have at least 500 skills + processes in JVTN® in the 20+ courses and dozens more on selling cars… How to close, handle every objection that comes up, follow up and …
This is where following scripts will get you…
“I lead the board every month in gross and in sales because of what I’ve learned on with Joe’s training.” “I have been using the Joe Verde Online Training for longer than I can remember. Using Joe’s scripts (words), closes, objection handling techniques as well as asking for new business, is so effective and easy …
Body Language Basics
Being able to ‘read’ what people mean, not what they say, is critical. So is projecting your own body language that they’ll be reading. There are 8 steps to a sale, and each step has many specific skills that make it happen. That’s why it’s so important to master your skills, follow the 8 steps, …
Price or Value
You will either build value or you’ll get stuck on price. It’s important to separate the transaction (the money part) from the value of owning it. Transactions & Negotiation should take place inside with a commitment. When I say don’t talk ‘price’ on the lot, I’m referring to all of these: Price, discounts, trade, payoff, …
It’s time to turn ‘Pro’!
What you know has gotten you to where you are now. To improve, you need to learn even more. At 30 years old, most of us reach our peak, and 90% just keep doing what they’re doing and keep getting what they’re getting now, or less. Trying to get to $100,000+ a year will take …
“I made no less $10K per month!”
“I’ve been selling cars for 6 years at the same store, and I don’t sell less than 30 a month!” “We use Joe Verde’s Online Sales Training (JVTN-r) for selling skills, how to’s and ways to help me sell more cars to happier buyers. I take no less than 2 of the 10-to-15-minute chapters every …
From 6 units a month to 22.5!
“From selling 6, 8, and 10 to averaging 22.5 now, thanks to Joe’s online training and my managers.” “I was lucky to start at a great dealership that believed in the value and power of training, and I’ve been training on the Joe Verde Training Network since day one. 2 managers lead our training sessions …
