I am talking about what people are pouring in, to you! I did this as another Facebook Live Episode, which I am beginning to enjoy more! You are either in some form of leadership, you are acknowledged as a leader, or you want to be. As leaders, actually as people, we all pour ourselves into others […]
Let’s talk about KEEPING PEOPLE, and employee retention! I have been in management and leadership roles in excess of 25 years now. Owned businesses, managed businesses, coached sports at a high level, and now having been in automotive management for roughly 15 years. I’ve found that our people, our employees, really want some key things […]
Today I am talking about some phone follow up tips. These are things that maybe in the past we probably once saw as basic skills or just normal communication and then we got trained and became salespeople… There has been much debate lately about the sales process, and phone process… and processes for your process.

Happy Valentine’s Day 2018! Today, I decided to do a Facebook Live! For episode #68. To tell my wife and my family – THANK YOU! So often, as managers or leaders, we get tied up. We get busy. We forget to just say, “thank you,” to those that are continually supporting us throughout our crazy […]

It’s Refresh Friday, hosted by the guys from Dealer Refresh, Jeff Kershner and Alex Snyder. Myself and Bob George from Dealer.com were the featured guests. The topics ranged from […]
It’s tax refund time, we are talking about down payments and “How’s Your Downstroke?” I was honored and humbled to sit down and participate in episode #310 of Auto Dealer Live this week. This week on the show was David Villa, David Cribbs, Patrick Obrien, El Patronn, and myself. The topic for the show was tax time and […]
Listening. That’s right, whether outside sales, inside sales, sales development rep, business development rep, B2B sales, or “other” sales. I believe that listening is still the number one determining factor in sales success. You’ve heard the adage, “God gave you two ears and one mouth so you should listen twice as much as you speak.” […]
But, really…Can You Sell Cars on Facebook? I sat down on CBT News with Cory Mosley, CSP on his show, Progressive Retail, and we had the discussion on selling cars on social media.
