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 …
Congratulations, Brandon!
“Even with the pandemic, I sold 22 units and was #1 in March after your sales workshop.” “I’ve been in the car business 2 years, and was already doing good averaging about 15 cars a month when the opportunity came up to attend your sales workshop. I knew what I would learn at your class …
Goals Control Success
If you read my blog, you’ve probably remember me talking about how to grow from the bottom up. It’s really a very simple and logical process. Just keep improving your lowest months. That makes sense, but what about your highest months? More good news: by eliminating your bad months, you’ll also sell more on the …
It’s About Options…
Selling from inventory is all about showing them options! The dictionary defines an ‘option’ as something that’s “not compulsory, it’s a choice you can make”. That’s why I keep referring to who, how, why and what. Who is this vehicle for? How will they be using it? Why are they getting it? What are their …

From detailing cars to selling…
From detailing cars to selling 15 cars a month. “I was working in Detail and earning $32,000 a year. I applied to sell cars at a great dealership by the manager because he felt I would succeed and he worked with me on Joe’s training. After studying Joe’s processes on JVTN®, I understand that closing is …
They Won’t ‘Trade’
Sure, most salespeople say they want to sell more and earn more, but it’s the ‘trades’ they aren’t willing to make… • They won’t trade bad habits like skipping demos to follow the steps to the sale 100% of the time to sell more. • They’d rather spend half an hour doing nothing, than spend …
From $27,000 to $70,000 first year selling cars
“Almost 2 years ago, I decided it was time for a career change, and I started selling cars. My 2 year anniversary in sales is coming up next month and this has been a great career change from the mental health care industry where I was only earning $27,000 per year. I knew the car …
Winning Attitudes
Albert Einstein did terrible at arithmetic, Winston Churchill got lousy grades in English, and both ended up being two of the greatest men in history. And I saw a pic of Jeff Bezos the other day when he started Amazon in his apartment. Now he’s worth $135,000,000,000 (135 billion dollars). Persistence eliminates resistance! Whether you’re …
Fear
False Expectations Appearing Real Think of some of the awful things you thought would happen if you said or did what you were afraid to do. In real life, didn’t you laugh it off after nothing bad happened? When you’re too nervous to try to close the sale because they might say ‘no’, you end …
Take A Quick Personal Survey
A lot of people in sales do everything but what they need to do to sell more cars and earn more money. They’re happy, they love their job, they love the dealership, they love their customers and they may even put in double shifts every day. The problem is they haven’t learned to sell, and …

Take Them on a Mental Ownership Cruise…
People don’t buy cars, boats, bikes or RVs until they’ve already taken mental ownership. Try to remember that none of us buys anything, even something as simple as a bottle of water, until we visualize ourselves using it for the purpose we want or need it for. When you’re thirsty, you think about something to …
Let’s Talk About Features…
Features don’t add value by default. Unless you sell the benefit, they just add to the price. Another common problem that goes along with knowing all of the product stats is being able to explain what they mean, and then tying it in to how each of those features relates to each customer’s specific wants …
Unsold Follow Up
For my first 5 years, my managers said ‘there’s no such thing as a be-back’…so of course, I didn’t follow up. For 5 years I didn’t even get names and numbers if they didn’t buy. Since none of us did any follow up, we didn’t get many be-backs, either, which meant our managers were correct. …
Staying at #1

Your Support Group May Be Holding You Back

Why? …
