How important is a professional greeting and a walk around with each and every service customer? Very Important!
On an average, I speak to and visit up to 30 dealers a week and it is alarming the amount of dealers that don't have a system in place or enforced regarding a proper greet and walk around. This is a vital part of an advisors job to not only create a professional and lasting relationship with service customers, but an incredible opportunity to create more revenue for the dealer. Competition is getting tougher and it's little steps as a professional greeting and a walk around with the customer that sets you apart from your competition.
Opportunities are available to dealers to increase "net" bottom line. I have implemented and seen dealers increase their bottom-line up to 60%. Change is a good thing as long as you put a system in place to create and increase $$.
I would be happy to get members input regarding this and assist anyone who is looking for ways to increase "net' revenue out of their service drive.

If you have in house or staffed super sales events you already know that the Attorney General is starting to crack down on advertisement and sales teams. Staffed super sale events can be a great tool to move inventory and produce high gross if done in the right way. AutoSalesEventNetwork.com is a paid membership networking site that has ratings and reviews of everyone involved in super sales from sales event companies, printers, salesmen, and dealerships. If you are getting calls about marketing you can refer them to the site by saying you are only involved with companies at autosaleseventnetwork.com and that stops their sales pitch. You would have more control and knowledge of whom you are doing business with. Also if you do have in house sales events and need staff search our database for license salesman in your area. There are many benefits to the site. Please visit http://autosaleseventnetwork.com/ and let us know what you think and how we might be able to help you.
Thanks,

We recently built a solution for the GM over seeing a group of stores in south florida that were using excel to track their sales.
We provided him with a dashboard for current numbers and the track for all stores new and used departments. The dashboard also broke down sales by Sales Manager and Finance Manager, status (sold, booked, finance, etc...) to identify well performing and troubled teams/departments.
We also set up alerts for when the front, back or overall numbers were beyond a threshold, ex: too low front
Hope this helps identify features to look for, for sales tracking purposes.
Automobile Trainers/Vendors...Question for all of you: How often while at a dealership doing what you do are you asked a question concerning hiring salespeople,staffing their BDC or internet dept? The question you get asked could be as straight forward as I need more or better salespeople,where and how do I get them or as vague as I don't have the right people to achieve what I need to achieve to sell more cars and make more gross...."If I just had a couple more "studs" I'd be set.How often are you asked about other positions as well...from Porters to Presidents?
