I AM A SALESMAN





I am proud to be a salesman, because more than any other man, I and millions of others like me, built America.

The man who builds a better mouse trap - or a better anything - would starve to death if he waited for people to beat a pathway to his door.…

Is anyone using Vin Solutions New Status Updates?

I love Vin Solutions! Every week or so they impress me with new
additions and changes that are so incredible sometimes I can't even keep
up. I'm curious if anyone out there is using their New Status Updates.
As far as I'm concerned it's made my job even easier as I can create
custom processes and statuses based on whatever criteria I want and have
been having a field day setting things up. How does everyone else like
it?

A "Real" Sales Pro

Sometimes we are all "Inspired" by someone or something they've done but fail to tell the individual and giving them their "due" recognition.

I make every attempt to avoid this "apathy", as I'm doing now by sharing a quick story of someone I admire and why.

Mr. Jimmy Feltz, Salesperson at Urse Dodge, sold 39 Vechicles in July of this year…

The More Things Change...

When I started on the sales floor in 1975, things were a little different. No window stickers on trucks, closing rooms, smoking in the offices, drinking in the GSM's office, Demos, draws. The list goes on and on of course.

I really do not want to get labled as an old guy, I am on the cutting edge of Internet and text marketing, and quite a number of my clients have me maintain their CRM's, Web sites or Facebook pages, but now I have seen this business go full circle.

I…

Social Networking, does it REALLY work?

I've been battling an uphill battle for months telling my dealer group

social networking and social media is the future and we need to keep

working it. They want to sell cars NOW, and I get that. However, I've

been having a hard time putting the facts behind the social work I do

for my store. I believe the sale will come, but not soon enough. The big

questions is... does social networking REALLY work to sell more cars?

What are some of the real-world thoughts out… Continue

Unfair? You Bet it is…

“BUYERS ARE LIARS”.



I don’t think I was in the car business one hour before I heard that catchy little phrase. Sure enough, over the course of my retail career, I suspect I was lied to over and over again by the best of them.



I’m not going to pontificate about what buyers lie about and why – many of us could easily write a book on that subject. Instead I’m going to bring up what I think is an important point – buyers can say pretty much whatever they want without fear of… Continue
