Watch out for tricks your mind & ego play…
Your mind, and especially your ego are not always your best friend. They want you to be perfect as-is, so they do their best to muddy the waters on anything new. It’s a mental tug of war. It’s tough to jump on board with ‘New’ things when you don’t understand how they could work. But …

We spend 2 full days in class, have 20 different 2-5+ hour courses on JVTN®, and I have a 400 page book to cover the answer to your question. Your success in sales depends on how serious you are about learning to sell, the right way. When people show up, even if they say ‘I …
From Not Making Enough Money To A Gold Mine…
Why are some salespeople afraid of learning more to sell more? After 5 years of bell to bell days, only selling 8 cars with not nearly enough money to pay the bills, when I thumbed through Zig Ziglar’s book, I saw a gold mine. I wasn’t afraid, I was excited. Here was the #1 salesperson …
Your Only Tools In Sales Are The Words You Use

Which is most important to make a sale – price or value?
Almost every salesperson is taught to focus on price, trade, down and the payments the customer is looking for when they’re out on the lot. Me, too, my first 5 years.

Does Talking Price Kill The Deal?

The ‘slump’ is a growth killer…
“When I don’t do well, I find myself doing less, instead of more, to work my way out of a slump.” Instead of putting the spring back in their step and a smile on their face, most guarantee to fail again tomorrow, because of their attitude. Example: You started selling cars 12 months ago, climbed …

What Will It Take To Hit $100K In ’24?
Most people have no idea! $100,000 a year should be the base you improve from, not your ‘hope to get lucky & hit one year’! So, the question I get a lot is, “Do I have to work in a high line store or in a better location?” Nope. Does it depend on if your …

A Few Things To Understand About Today’s Market
About Today’s Market… A lot of buyers and salespeople have retreated to a bunker and are trying to hide from the storm. We’re all faced with higher prices, and yesterday here in South Orange County, I paid $6.99 for gas. Buyers are cautious about everything they buy now, and that means cars, too. So if …
Stuff That Matters Every Time
Even though 8 out of 10 came to buy, impulses control the outcome. When you’re dancing (not the jerky kind), someone has to lead. Same with sales. If you wander around waiting for them to take the lead, most will wander off the lot soon. Repeating ‘do you have any questions?’ means you didn’t learn …
Attitude Is Everything
Attitudes are your most important tool to sell more, especially now, while everything is going on. When you walk out with a spring in your step & a smile on your face to greet every customer, you just buried the last 3 salespeople they met down the street, and that’s before you even say anything. …
