Tonality on the Phone

     I am amazed when making inquiries at the tonality of the person answering the phone. Although some are cheery and seem genuinely happy to assist you they are few and far between. These calls are being made to people in the "customer service" entities of the businesses I select to contact- particularly the automotive business.

     I contacted a particular dealership and one of the sales people answered the call. What I got was "Sales" in a tone of voice that it was an imposition…

Is the Subaru WRX the Right Car for You?

The Subaru WRX is a racy version of the traditional sedan with a strong base engine, superb handling, and all-wheel drive. The WRX hugs the road and delivers strong acceleration with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The vehicle also comes with a six-speed manual transmission that gives an even racier feel to the driving experience. This also provides an alternative to the CVT available which some drivers feel is too noisy in other models; however, drivers of the 2016 Subaru Impreza who…

Background Checks Leave Much to Be Desired

In ban the box states, an employer can no longer ask a job application about his or her prior (or presumed ongoing) criminal history.

Without the ability now to ask about criminal history, the applicant you hire might be a big risk, to you, your employees and your customers.

Today, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and many states, and even municipal governments view the use of background checks as an unfair hurdle to those with prior…

Fuel Economy For the Holidays

It's no secret, winter is upon us, and many of us will be scrambling around figuring out ways to make the most of our automobile's gas. During the cold winter months, we often have to let our vehicle warm up, it takes us longer to get places, gas burns less efficiently, and we have to run our heater on full blast, so we tend to eat through gas relatively quickly. Then there's the other hand, people like myself, who live in warmer climates that stay warm pretty much year round. There brings…

Quit Selling Scared

My friend David Lewis wrote a blog suggesting the 'Trial Close' is an outdated concept and that it bothers the customer and you should stop using trial closes immediately.  But really? 

One of my favorite trial closes, "do you guys have any other reservations or reasons for not moving forward?"  Is this one question going blow a deal?  Can any one thing or question cause someone not to buy from you?   Or is David really trying to avoid the possibility of rejection unwilling to deal…
