Dialing for Dollars: Cold Calling Secrets

I conduct follow up training classes for salespeople that deliver less than 8 units for the month. Out of some 130 salespeople in our organization last month we had 28 that missed the mark. In previous classes I’ve conducted training on various parts of the steps to the sale, overcoming objections, and closing techniques.

This month I decided to drill down to…

What Were You Thinking?

What Were You Thinking?

 

       It has often been said that the questions are the answers when it comes to selling anything.  The better you become at asking questions, the more success you’ll enjoy.  The key is asking the right questions.  But, you can’t teach every question for every situation.  Otherwise your sales people will never leave the training room.

     There is one question that I believe fits any situation and it provides…

The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing But the Truth: Why Sales People Lie to their Clients - and Why You Need to Stop

 Ask most people to describe a sales person, and likely as not, you'll find yourself deluged by words like "huckster," "snake oil peddler," "fast talker," "con artist" and, of course, "untrustworthy," "arrogant" and "dishonest."

Those of us who work in sales and know ourselves to be fine, upstanding people may wonder exactly what we ever did to earn such an enviable…

50 Year Old Training "Video"

I collect vintage sales training materials and included among the items I've collected are many of the old phongraph record and filmstrip materials.

 

I was looking through some of these the other day and found one that the box it should from Chevrolet in had never been opened and that got me to thinking.

 

I have found there is resistance by dealers and dealership managers to spending money on training. It is understandable when much of the time the materials are…

F&%$ Working Harder!

Years ago I was taught that there is a way to grow business in the Auto Industry that didn't require hefty ad budgets, didn't require long hours and didn't require a bunch of 'hard work'.
That got me thinking about many of my friends in dealerships RIGHT NOW who are still pounding out 60-70 hour weeks, working bell to bell and trying to figure out something new to increase sales this month and next month, they start at zero again and they're just as frantic.
Excuse my…

Demonstration Drive? Every Single Time! Building your Business

How many times have I asked a sales person, "Have they driven the car?" Do you have any idea how many times I hear, They drove it at the other dealer or they don't have time to drive it or my favorite. They already own one that is three years old.  Really?  You are going to waste all that time on a write up when your chances of closing a deal without a demo…

“If I had more traffic, I could sell more cars”

Sound familiar? I’ve heard this several times during my travels the last few weeks and it didn’t matter what part of the country or what franchises.

I was at a long-time Ford client last week, started working with them in September of 1997.  They are coming off of another great profit year, but January had started off a little slow.

I noticed the Sales staff was a little down and in conversations the main topic was that there was very little traffic and that the Dealer needed…

Social Media Solution for small or large dealers!

 The end of the year has finally arrived.  Still puzzled as to why dealers are not yet fully using social media to drive sales.  Visited a Fan page for a dealer today... This dealer was one of the top dealers in the country for years.  No science as to why they are having a hard time selling a hundred units now..  Their page only had 25 fans.

Visited another, they…
