Tonight's Blog Talk Radio Show! All the talk of positivity. All the positive meditation. All the self affirmation and great positive energy. It's time to look at yourself on your MAP and at very least determine OR better yet decide... stay where you are or keep pushing for the next level. Where are you now?
Way back in 1971, C.P. Snow wrote about technology in the New York Times. He said, “Technology... is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other.”
Many dealers are voicing that sentiment these days. Far too few have done anything about it. Some have learned to use computer software with skill. They use the apps on iPhones, iPads, and Blackberries. They have created an effective Web site. They use FaceBook and Twitter and… Continue

I'll keep it simple this week! A good solid pump up and the power behind - YES! Great tool for leaders, managers and sales people! Should you tune in? YES, YES, YES!
The well-known poet, Maya Angelou, wrote something quite profound that I have never forgotten. “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” It seems appropriate to remember it right now, after reading the growing discourse about whether or not ADM should have posted the article about the 10 Sexiest Women. It has revealed several interesting truths, especially about those who chose to comment. Not… Continue
My radio blog from last week on the Power of Mentoring and benefits to both the mentor and the student. Guest call in from one of my mentors, David Fournier of www.restoringgrace.com .
To train -- or not to train -- is not the question according to automotive advertising agencies who understand the importance of investing in the people part of the sales and service process by providing training before, during and after the sale. Training has often been considered as an afterthought by auto dealers who have enjoyed the luxury of having more customers than cars with a never…

The year was 1974 Nixon was president, U.S. population was 213 million the Dow was at 600 average cost of a new home was $39, 000, and cars were $3200 Household income was $11,000!!!!!!!...Stamps were .08 and gas was .58 the top song that year was The Way We Were by Streisand and there was NO fashion.
I had tried and had three failed attempts at college, no degree, was making $175 a week working in a garage and was about to get married, not a winning formula.
With all the obstacles that we have seen in the past 5 years to the current day...it's no wonder there are so many dealerships struggling. We preach process and structure but yet as managers....I see so many that do not follow up, are not consistent, and allow themselves to fail by not being leaders to their consultants and fellow managers...but yet friends that allow them to fail. I look at management and sales consultants today compared to just 7 years ago...I do not see the strong…
"It's all about control." I heard this from day one in my automobile sales career. If you have been in the auto industry for any admissible amount of time; I am confident this will resonate with you. It always seemed interesting to me that when the term "control" came up - the most common topic of conversation was this: How far in the process you can "take" your customer.…
I sell cars and it is very important to come to work with a positive attitude. Times seem to be tough right now. Stores are low on inventory and customers are few and far between. It is time to turn these negatives into positives. I wanted to give a perspective from the sales floor.
Customers and their methods of shopping seem to be evolving so much faster then the local dealership. The product is out there the…
You would think with the magnifying glass on car dealerships around the country today, F&I managers would take heed of the importance placed on full disclosure selling. You would think they would understand why disclosing a base payment, the APR, the term and all buying numbers prior to offering other product options is critically important.
Unfortunately, there is still confusion regarding “full-disclosure” menu… Continue
