Unfortunately not all managers think like you Marsh . The majority of managers always want to send there sales staff to training and don't go themselves . Seems like when a lot of managers become managers the learning stops . This is easy to prove by asking them when is the last time they went to any training classes . The ones that have invested the time to go to some kind of training are the easiest to work with . Good info Marsh . Best of luck .

<p>Fran, you can't become a pro, until you take the reps-unfortunately it cannot all be done in a classroom setting,& sometimes takes "live fire". In my opinion, it takes salespeople making hundreds-if not thousands of tiny mistakes and miscues, throughout their career, and managers passionate enough to find an opportunity in every instance to coach them to excellence. </p>

<p> I'm sure there are dealerships that have it down to a fine science, yet I've yet to hear of one that isn't dealing with a few, some, many, or all or more of the aforementioned problems. Any manager who says they are not experiencing any/all of these is suffering from delusion.</p>
<p>Everyone can use training-the thing I love is being able to help a salesperson finally see "IT" the thing(s) that is holding them back only to "suddenly" take off to another dimension of prosperity in their career. The cool thing is we <strong>both</strong> get to learn. I learn by not only coaching through daily experiences, but I am committed to being a lifelong student of my industry. <strong>I will always be a student of the game.</strong></p>

Interesting post Marsh . A sales reps that takes more ups isn't going to help the dealership sell more cars unless he/she is a super pro . If that is the case they shouldn't have to be living on fresh ups . If a dealership has the problems you mentioned I think the manager needs help training the sales reps . Just my thoughts .

Pat, I've been right there with u my friend. Most customers will leave without buying a vehicle, I just don't want to be the reason why they won't be back. It's so hard for us bc we want to- even have to make that next sale & when we see that it may not happen our personalities instantly change. That's why it's so important to have plenty of ups to insure your month.<br />
<br />
Pat I appreciate your insight sir. It's funny no matter where we are in the world, our business is much the same ;)

Brilliant as always. To reinforce point 8, Friday I had a lady who claimed she could get €4,000 more on her trade from another dealership for the same vehicle, I asked why she did not take the deal and she told me she did not like the salesman unfortunately he did not like me enough to pay my price when I asked for her business.<br />
Thanks for sharing.
