You’ve had one customer on a test drive, your next appt just showed up an hour early, and somehow you were the only “available salesman” when a family just walked into the dealership… what do you do?

That answer is easy, you start juggling! Get them comfortable in the customer lounge, tell them to enjoy a warm or cold beverage, or snack, and here is…

There’s a topic we believe is important to address prior to enlisting the

aid of mentors in this area. In many people’s minds — and in much of our

culture today — the very idea of wealth,

on at least a “gut” level, has been villainized. In my experience, however, nothing

could be further from the truth. Most of

the wealthy people I’ve known have been

kind, caring, generous people who have

worked extremely hard for what they

have…

Reframing Life’s Questions

We can have it all if we change “OR” to “AND”

When deciding what we want out of life, and where to put our energy and focus to achieving our goals, my mentors and I have found that we need to avoid a limiting concept called “The Tyranny of the OR.”

This concept, described by…

The myth of the “self-made” man or woman is just that — "A MYTH"

We hold in awe those who started life without the benefit of money or

resources and went on to build empires. It’s almost as if they were destined

to be giants and got there with only their own determination and talents.

The Theory of 5 is a lifetime process; it only stops on the day we die. The Theory, which can be used by anyone at any stage of life, is based on selecting mentors in the five most significant areas of a person's life - spirituality, marriage, parenting, business and finance, and health. These men and women will guide and support us towards…

I remember it like it was yesterday, the first time a car was discounted to make a deal. It was 1932, in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Big Red Ewing accepted $1,450 “out the door” for a brand new 1933 Studebaker Dictator that stickered for $1,466 Plus TTL. Now, whether or not that’s true, I cannot say. But I’m sure it went down just like that. …

 Modern shopping habits have changed drastically in the last 10 years and the changes have greatly empowered the customers.

The days of a window shopper popping into a dealership and spending a day test driving cars are long gone. In fact, 46% of consumers prefer to do their auto shopping online. So, what does that mean for you? It means that two experiences must now be…

I am a very competitive person, so if you put me in a classroom situation, I am more than likely going to try to beat you on all of the test scores.

So, what is it?
