Think Like An Attorney In Court
Think of buyers as jurors… Without your ‘discovery’, you can’t convince them that this is the right vehicle for them to take home now. If you can’t ask questions to find their wants, needs and hot buttons, you can’t give a good presentation or demo, because you won’t know what to cover to make it …

Are you climbing the mountain or riding the ‘up & down’ roller coaster in sales? One of the most common questions, and one of the most common “Yeah buts” I get – are about growth. “I try, and always end up the same each year.” The biggest problem is that salespeople confuse ‘trying to grow’ …
How will you treat your next prospect?
A. Do you assume everyone is a buyer, and head out with a smile on your face and a spring in your step, as you ‘welcome’ them to your dealership? B. Or do you kinda stand back, watch them for a minute or two to see what they’re looking at, while you decide whether you …
Your Opportunity Clocks…It’s always your choice
