8760 – That’s how many hours we each get during a year. 24 hours every day for 365 days. And yet, despite the fact that we each get the same amount of time, some people accomplish far more than others. Why is that?
If you’ve read any of my previous articles, you’ll know that I believe it is because we have lost focus on the “Forgotten Foundation” of time management.…

Businesses are starting to get it. They once saw social media as a channel like many others through which they could broadcast their message. When that didn’t work, they shifted to using it as a branding tool only. When that wasn’t effective, they started communicating with people. Bingo! Now, more need to take it to the next…

Most Monday mornings I find myself standing in NCM Institute’s beautiful training facility welcoming a new class of retail automobile dealership managers who have come to Kansas City for formalized training specific to their job responsibilities. After introductions, I tell them something like: “We won’t be talking about what you think you have come here to learn until just before or…

When it comes to advertising of any kind, it is important that every dollar you spend will get results. This truism has held for generations and it continues today. But there have been some changes to this model. An excellent example of how the game has changed somewhat is Google Adwords. Google Adwords allows you to have small text ads appear on the side of the Google search page during a search. Using Google Adwords can involve a good deal of strategy on…

What’s the one thing that big box retailers don’t have? Heritage and a story. Sure, they can hire celebrity spokespeople, spend millions in advertising and photography, but they can’t tell me a story. This is one thing that Bentley has excelled at in their recent campaign dubbed, “Le Mans 24 Hours: Les…

I visit a lot of dealerships in the course of a week. One complaint that I am hearing is they "can't get salespeople".
Here is a decades old fact: 87% of people, that attempt car sales, are out of the industry in a year. That was published by NADA thirty years ago and I doubt that it has changed.
I am amused to hear managers complaining that they can't hire salespeople. I was talking to the new car manager at a Lexus store.…

There have been valid business reasons to use hashtags for years. Twitter started it off. Pinterest added to it. Google+ mastered it in many ways. Instagram, Tumblr… the list of social sites on which hashtags are relevant is long. Facebook was the last major holdout. Now that they’ve joined the bandwagon, it’s go time.…

Sounds ridiculous, right? It’s real, however. A case study involving a pizza joint in New York has shown that offering ridiculous rewards can pay off. This particular pizza joint has several “over-the-top” rewards but none as much so as the promise of a free Ferrari…

In life, as well as sales, you have to pick a side-the side of clarity or one of confusion. Legendary Green Bay Packers coach, Vince Lombardi used to say, “It’s hard to be aggressive when you are confused.” When you are playing in a state of confusion, you are playing with the mindset not to lose instead of aggressively playing to win. It’s no secret, that our industry can be chaotic. In the middle of a demonstration the check engine light comes on, breaking the rhythm of…

A little background on our situation...
One of my many responsibilities at our dealership is to be in charge of our new and used vehicle photos. I have a guy who works for me that handles the job well, but it falls under my purview.

I can honestly say I am not a specialist when it comes to understanding automobiles. I am not sure what the names of parts are that are underneath my hood. I am not sure what they do exactly. Thank goodness for mechanics!
When I was younger, if a mechanic told me I had something wrong with my car…

In my last post “Bad Management It’s Also Just Plain bad for Business“ David Ruggles brought up a good point when responding to a comment made by Steve Richards.
Steve stated that "The retail culture incubates mediocrity and as gross profits continue their downward spiral good luck attracting quality sales personnel. Can you name another product that sells for $30K…
