As a child when your parents asked you to do something, it meant now!!! When you were asked to do something in school, it was right now!!!

If you truly understand people today, we live in an instantaneous gratification society. People decide on something, they want it now!!! Not only now, do they decide to spend money, buy they will justify their decision by spending more money.

Let’s look at that statement. An individual buys a vehicle, goes into the finance department and justifies their purchase, by spending an additional $3,000 on products, to protect their newly acquired vehicle. After delivery, a month goes by, the same customer pulls up with their new vehicle with an additional $1,500 worth of aftermarket equipment on it. This goes on all over this country, at every car dealership, right now!!!

Now, is the time. Train everyone in your dealership to understand people are buying now!!! People want to take delivery now!!! With all the training in the world, it all boils down to, does the customer feel good? If the customer feels good and comfortable, they will do it now!!!

BIG QUESTION: How are you preparing your staff, to make your customers, feel good and comfortable? What steps are you putting together to train your staff to have this outcome? Does every customer get an introduction to service, a service walk, meet management, 100% of the time? If not, ask yourself as an owner or manager, why now? How can I implement this process? What steps do I, as a manager or owner, need to take to ensure 100% success in this area? If you know, people will buy now!!! Take delivery today, as long as they feel comfortable and good about the people they are dealing with. Train your people for instantaneous success, right now!!! Your staff deserves, the best training, the most respect to achieve their goals. Right now!!!

As a manager, are you breaking down your staff to increase their ability to make more money, right now!!! Or are you breaking your staff down to impede them from making money? Right now!!! There is no room for armchair generals!!!

Take positive action, right now!!! Start by looking at this month. Look to see what  each person in your sales team made. Have a one-on-one with them, tell them you are going to personally make sure they make, an additional $1,500 this month. Yes, that is a tremendous increase!!! Now is the time to take responsibility for your actions. Managers and GMs, need to challenge themselves to help during the selling and closing process!!! They need to take action now to ensure that their sales staff grow. Managers need to train during the sale itself. Best way to grow gross profit and sales, get involved now!!!

Remember, we live in an instantaneous gratification society. When you are involved in the moment, you are bonding both, with the customer and with your staff. Go challenge yourself, right now!!! Your customers will take delivery, your staff will smile and everyone’s goals will be met right now!!!

Tony, totally agree...if there were a magic pill I would have od'd years ago on them a long time ago! There is no magic pill in this business it takes consistency to a plan and is reinforced with management. We as managers need to GOYA-Get Off Your A** and press the flesh with every customer. Great provoking blog bro.
