Scrambled eggs can’t be undone. Neither can your past. The only guarantee in your life is the present. Often we focus on the tiny rearview mirror affectionately known as our past, instead of being fixated on the large windshield of our future. You can’t be bitter and sweet, you can’t be hot and cold, neither can you move backward and expect to advance forward in your life. Sometimes we become stuck because we like it. Not because it is enjoyable, but because it is…

Yesterday I conducted an interview with Scott Painter, CEO of TrueCar. I asked him some tough questions and he candidly provided the answers. Answers that I didn't always agree with, but he did answer my questions. I commend Scott Painter for reaching out to people like myself and Jim Ziegler.
There is no doubt that Mr. Painter is very passionate about his business. He believes in what he is doing and he's defending his vision, and I can't fault the man for attempting to…

Hello Fellow Dealer Elites,
My first comment and I am still in awe of the big bad JMac. This is an awesome person, humanitarian, trainer, father and friend. I bought in on what the Mac Man was preaching and two weeks later I am getting ready to go into the dealer to "Show Me The Money Time".
I cannot thank him enough for how he came to Cincinnati and gave us the goods, and also many of the class who also bought in, are also reaping the benefits, of being an Dealer Elitist…

Very few dealers are both aggressive and effective in selling Extended Service Agreements (ESAs) after the new or used vehicle has been delivered. If you are so fortunate to be among this minority, you don’t need to read any further. Since most F&I departments don’t seem to have the inclination or motivation to work these post-delivery opportunities, let’s explore an alternate strategy…structuring a process to have our service advisors aggressively and effectively sell ESAs in…

Health of a company culture is important internally, but also in how others, particularly consumers, view your brand. Healthy companies have values and follow these values in their everyday practices. Involvement in charity organizations can be a great way to facilitate healthy company values and promote teamwork, and also allows for a successful company to give back.
The holidays are an ideal time for giving, a time when decorating the office and…

Attitude, albeit good or bad is infectious; as a salesperson ask yourself, are you infecting your clients? Are you sneezing optimism on every opportunity or are you coughing doubt and pessimism spoiling your attempts in making a sale? The ABC’s of selling has traditionally stood for Always Be Closing.

Those of us fortunate enough to have enough work all know someone who does not, and that…

Customers never buy things based on price alone........
If you don't believe me take a look at Starbucks or Apple computer. What dealerships need to realize is customers can buy vehicles anywhere and most brands have great product lines as well. The question is what are you doing to attract new customers and maintain your existing customers by creating an amazing customer experience. Think about your local high end hotel, that dry cleaner or grocery store that…

There is a huge ‘certification’ gap in our industry that represents a potential loss of billions of dollars by used car dealers.
Consider: over 35 million used cars were sold last year, but fewer than 2 million of them were certified by OEM-sponsored programs. This is a stunning fact given that consumers are willing to pay, on average, a 12-27% premium on a certified vehicle.
Let’s add the numbers up: the average cost of a used…
