The DSES is coming Oct 9-10 at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, and if you aren’t attending – you need to rethink your schedule.

The Driving Sales Executive Summit is on in a BIG way Oct 9-10 at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. The industry is currently in a very dynamic yet super profitable state, but for how long? Change is just a supply chain kink or governmental policy away. Innovations are being introduced all the time, and now is the time to decide which ones are worthy and which ones are half-baked. Bottom line, it all comes down to people.

Is your dealership culture a positive, winning one, and are you and your team prepared for the next market phase that’s on the horizon? No one saw the Covid crisis coming let alone that it would usher in an era of unparalleled profit…we may not be so lucky next time…but we’ll be ready. This summit is focused to help you handle whatever is next.

With over 10 years of traditional and digital marketing experience, I’ve been able to create winning marketing formulas that helps your brand stand out, stay relevant, and move more units, among growing competition in automotive online advertising. The first 5 years of my career were in direct mail, before moving to the yellow pages. It was there where I was tasked with training marketing reps and business owners on the digital transformation. I was lucky enough to travel across the US to remote Google offices and train them as well. To increase my overall knowledge of both traditional and digital media, I got a job as the digital sales manager at the NBC broadcast television affiliate in St. Louis before starting my own company.

 

The automotive industry and advertising have always been a passion of mine. Most dealers have used direct mail, the yellow pages and broadcast television as a media outlet. My experience and continued education allows me to understand both marketing and car dealerships.

I walked into the sales office and I heard a salesman say how he changes his phone script for different customers on his initial call to them. I asked him why he did that? How does he determine how or why he should deviate from the phone script when he has not even talked to the client yet? He said if he knows they are a subprime client, he treats them differently than an excellent credit client. I wanted to say “that explains why you are consistently at the bottom of the sales board every month”, but being the good boss and leader I hope I am, I explained this to him this way. I knew he is a big baseball fan and wanted to explain it to him in a way he would understand.

All of the great hitters in baseball of one thing in common. They develop a routine every time they step into the batter box. Their batting stance does not change. They are consistent in every at-bat they have. They may change their position in the batter’s box according to the pitcher. If the pitcher throws a lot of changeups or junk, they may move up in the batter’s box. Fastball pitcher, they will move to the back of the box. Pitchers with great curves or sliders, they will move to one side of the box or the other. But their stance is always the same. Even if they have a little slump, they do not change their stance. They stick with what has made them the great hitter they are in the long run.

It is the same with the phone script. Every client is the same because they are trying to accomplish the same thing. To purchase a new vehicle. We may have to adjust our position a little in the batter’s box (clients situation) but we need to stick with our stance every time (our phone script). With a subprime customer, we may have to ask if they have more money down or possible co-signer, but the main purpose of the phone call is to get the customer to come in. If you treat every customer different because you think of one reason or the other, you will struggle. It is no different than the baseball player who gets in a little slump and keeps changing his stance every at-bat. He will never develop any consistency and struggle longer. Stick to the script. Stick to your stance.
