Going Up?

Seldom does some one board an elevator from an upper floor to ride the elevator up.  Most of the time, if someone boards the elevator from an upper floor it is to ride back to the first floor.  Therefore, when considering progress, why let someone impede your progression by not being on the project from the ground floor?

 

Please allow me to further develop this concept for you with a real…

It’s in the Presentation

Life inside the dealership is an experience only those who have been there can appreciate. Whether you are in sales or service, each department carries its own unique challenges. Let’s face it, the job is monotonous. And, after every successful month, you get the pleasure of starting from zero once again. So, what can you do to be successful?

Most would agree that the answer lies in your people skills, technique and ability to adopt a mindset that stops you from falling into a “move…

Finding Your USP

You've just gotten comfortable at the dinner table.  The food looks great and it's one of the rare occassions where the whole family is there.  The conversation is interrupted by a ringing phone and on the other end of the line, "Good evening, my name is_______ and I hope I haven't interrupted anything but I have some fantastic news about your eligibility for  more insurance coverage..." 

 

How excited are you about calls like that?

 

Yet, if you have a family, a…

Looking for ways to generate qualified automotive traffic now?

What is Different?

10 years ago customers had fewer brands, fewer models and less information than they do these days. I don't need to tell you how competitive the automotive market is today. Based on this fact if you think monthly programs and product are enough to sell cars you would be wrong.

 

Things have changed in the automotive market…

The will to win or the will to prepare to win??

Smothered by the Rut Blanket

What would a Professional Service Advisor do?



Professional Service Advisors are prepared for the day ahead of them and don't get caught in the "why bother because everyday is the same and nothing changes" rut.



Now, why is this so important? I mean, c’mon, isn't every day just the same?



Open the door, reset the alarm, start the coffee, turn on the computers, check for night drops, check your email, flip through the stack of carry-overs, etc, etc,…

Cardone Adds Call Correction to Virtual Platform

How many times have you overheard a sales person mishandle the call?  

Now imagine rather than just railing on him you could send him/her to a place to be corrected immediately and in real time on what they did incorrectly.  And the entire correction with testing would only take 2 minutes to ensure this incorrectly handled call doesn't get mishandled again.…

Do you have intentions or a plan?

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, but the road to success is paved with a good plan. Many people wrongly confuse intentions with a plan. Both are needed for success, but on different planes. It takes intentions to form the mental attitude, but it takes a plan to bring your intentions to reality. An intention without a plan is like having a Lamborghini…

Are You Training Your Replacement?

In 1982 I had the biggest blessing ever in the car business.  "Bruce" hired me as a sales person.  Bruce was the GM of a small Ford store in NJ and I was still finding my way around the business.  All I knew for sure was that I wanted to be a sales manager.  At that time, I couldn't tell a good one from a bad one but I still wanted to be one. …
