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. …
You know you can sell more…
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 …

Wages for Waiting = $0
But how much you can earn in sales is unlimited!

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’ …

Is your goal to ‘beat the top salesperson’ or to continually improve? Math: If you both just work your shift and the top SP sells 15 and you sell 12 – of course you can beat him or her just by doubling down on your hours. Problem: You can’t maintain double down, so I’d recommend …
