Take Control
  printer friendly version
By: Patrick Davis 

If you've ever wondered who has control of the conversation in any negotiation -- the salesperson or the customer? -- the answer is simple: The one who is asking the questions! So when your customer starts asking you questions, such as: “Do you have any .....?” or  “How much is...?”, you know that he/she has taken control.  Now what?

Try turning things around by asking the customer questions, like: “What brings you into our dealership today?” Only then will you feel confident beginning your qualifying questions. Now you're in control and ready to help your customer select the right vehicle.

Develop the habit of asking questions while walking around the dealership, standing in the lot, or sitting in the office with your prospect. Don’t get caught in the trap of only answering questions, when you could be gathering information you need to do the job you were trained to do.

The good news is, you don’t have to change everything you've been doing! But a successful, professional salesperson continually learns new selling and communication techniques, and stays at the top of his game. Change may be painful, but rewarding -- like the caterpillar that becomes a butterfly -- change is necessary for survival. Consider these words to the wise: MODIFY SELLING TECHNIQUES TO FLY OR REMAIN THE SAME AND DIE!

Set More Appointments
printer friendly version
by: Patrick Davis

We all know the more appointments you schedule with potential customers, the better the odds of selling a vehicle. What's more is that everyone is a potential customer! Prepare by first putting together a series of questions that you can pose to anyone you come in contact with daily. These questions are designed to jog the minds and memories of people who would gladly give you referrals, if only asked.

Explain that you're looking for referrals. Then your list of questions might include:

“Who do you know personally who sells you your groceries?  your appliances? furniture? flowers? clothing? lumber? hardware?  insurance? fuel?”

These could be followed by:

“Who is your doctor? lawyer? Mail carrier? dentist? realtor? barber? hairdresser?”

The next set of questions might include:

“Who do you know from your group of friends? neighbors? your previous job?”  

These are just a few sample questions, but you get the idea.

Think of specific groups of people, then contact them to let them know you're in the car business, and are willing to save them time and money on their next automobile purchase. Be sure to invite them to visit your lot whether they're thinking about buying or trading now or later.

Good Old-fashioned Hospitality
  printer friendly version
by: Patrick Davis

When it comes to serving a first-time customer, be prepared for your customer's personal "fear factor". After all, they're in a strange place, with strange people, and they've been told that a salesperson will take advantage of them.

The best way to counteract this fear is by being professional, courteous and above all hospitable. Try saying something like: “Welcome to your hometown dealership. My name is Patrick Davis – and you are? Pleased to meet you. What brings you into our dealership today?”  And if you’re having a special promotion, let your customer know. It can only build excitement and help to move them closer to a buying decision.

Notice that customers usually are not bashful about stating their mission: to get your best price.  So don’t be bashful about stating your mission to them: to find a vehicle that they like well enough to buy today, provided that you can make the numbers agreeable. Now is a good time to start qualifying. (If you're on the lot and having trouble qualifying someone on the inventory, offer to take them inside, where they won’t be distracted.)

Demo Drives -- Don't Ask!
  printer friendly version
by: Patrick Davis

If you find that asking a customer to test drive a vehicle results in "No, thanks"… then stop asking!  

The fine art of a demo drive begins with a good walk around. Start under the hood and move counter-clockwise around the car, accenting the features, advantages, and benefits of the vehicle. When you get to the passenger door, open it, and ask your customer to have a seat. If he/she objects, encourage him/her by offering to show something inside the car. Once the customer is seated, help to adjust the seat for maximum comfort. Tell your prospect to watch their legs and arms; then, close the door.  Walk around the front of the car, so that your prospect can see you at all times, then put yourself in the driver's seat…in more ways than one. (Remember: you're in control.)

Once again present the features, advantages, and benefits of the interior equipment in the vehicle, and proceed with your demonstration drive. Go to a predetermined destination, get out of the vehicle, and ask your customer to move to the driver's seat. Help him/her get adjusted and return to the passenger seat.  Let the customer know that you intend to be quiet and not explain anything else. Let the “driver” enjoy the ride. Should they have any questions during the drive back, they should feel free to ask.

What is Your Goal This Year? 
  printer friendly version
by: Patrick Davis

Here's a good formula for figuring out where you want to go and how to get there:

1)  Write-down how much money you want to earn this year.

2)  Divide your average commission per car into that number. This will tell you how many cars you need to sell this year.

3)  What is your closing ratio?  If you need to sell 200 cars this year and your closing ratio is 20 percent, 200 divided by 20% = 1,000.  So you have to wait on 1,000 people this year in order to sell 200 cars.

4)      Divide 12 months into 1000 people = approximately 84 people per month. If you work 24 days per month, divide 24 into 84 = 3.5 people per day. 

Along with a little basic math, reaching your goal requires dedication. In other words, if you’re planning a vacation, you have to get ahead of your goal before you leave. If you're off sick and fall behind, you know you’ll have to work a little extra to catch up.

Set reasonable goals that you will be proud to accomplish, and that will allow you to maintain balance in your life. Work goals are important, but so are family, friends, personal development, a healthy diet, exercise, and spiritual fulfillment.
