How A Dog May Have Just Reinvented Pre-Roll Video Ads

We all know how annoying pre-roll video ads can be – especially when they have nothing to do with the video content we’re about to watch. Many people hover their mouse cursor over the countdown just itching to click “Skip Ad” the second that option is available. As reported by…

Trust: The Catalyst of All Sales

Trust is the basis for all relationships and the catalyst for all sales. Without trust the sale becomes a transactional commodity. Without trust you have to be the absolute cheapest or have the only one in the area to secure the sale and the chance for repeat and referral business is difficult if not impossible. When we develop trust it becomes more about the value of your product or service and what you as a person brings to the sale and less about the price. High trust also means a shorter… Continue

One Word

For the past several weeks I have been struggling to come up with One Word that I could focus on this coming year. One Word that I could apply to all areas of my life to help keep me focused on my goals and vision. I had several words come to mind such as Focus, Drive and Passion but no one word stuck in my mind or kept reoccurring day after day. So one Sunday after talking myself into and out of attending church, which I had not attended in several weeks, a voice deep inside convinced me to… Continue

The Five Things Dealers and OEMs Can Do Today to Stay On Top During the Next Downturn

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the next down market in automotive retail is coming. No one knows precisely when – and none of us is certain what will trigger it – but, it is coming. Moreover, given the current market realities, it might be coming a little faster than most of us in the industry imagine. Take, for example, these fast facts:

  • The average length of a new car loan in 2014 was 66 months.
  • The number of subprime borrowers missing payments is at…

Push Beyond Your Feelings

By: Dave Benson

Push Beyond Your Feelings

The last thing I wanted to do was jump in the car and go to work. See I want to stay in bed. I wasn’t feeling too well, I was a little bit croaky in the throat. And I just wasn’t feeling on top of my game.



You know often, you might take the day off or even when you do go to the dealership, you just don’t feel “up” to everything that you got to do.



So maybe you avoid that…

Two Wolves

"I'm just looking, I won't be buying today." "I need to compare your vehicle with a competitors model and then shop around" .."I'm not an impulse shopper".."I just started looking."



Everyday sales people hear this exact quote from customers soon after the meet and greet.



What happens next is reminiscent of the old tale of two wolves.



An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on…
