THE PROFESSIONAL EDGE FOR THE SALE

Image
1. Ninety per cent (90%) Attitude - if you believe it works, it does. 2.How, when, where and why to do business with you. 3.A very professional procedure that creates a sense of urgency in both you and your Customer. 4. Puts the sales associate in a position of "Trust and Confidence" in the Buyer's mind. 5. Ask for their business. It's a right that you earn, as a result of giving your Customer a totally unique buying experience. 6. Work for the Customer. Don't be motivated by selfish gain. 7.Work from the selling price. You can always come down but you can't go up. 8. Avoid weak and negative comments and/or statements. Be positive no matter what they say or do. Expect good results, you get good results. 9. Start all your closing efforts from the Sales Desk. Don't get caught up in "Fender Trading" in the parking lot. You'll never win. ecar sales training

HOW PREPARE TO JUSTIFY THE VALUE OF CAR

Image
Pre-sale is over. If you've done your job to this point (established empathy, presented and demonstrated your product, driven the Trade-in, reached agreement on a vehicle, "IN STOCK"), this is the time to start your closing efforts and bring out any and all objections and points of question. REMEMBER: Unless you are ready to close, get commitments and money from the Buyer "TO DO BUSINESS NOW", you are only a "PROFESSIONAL VISITOR." To this point, all your efforts have been made to eliminate fear of loss, but there still is the mystery of "What is it going to cost?" Be careful here not to display too much enthusiasm. It could be misunderstood as pressure and have negative impact on the Buyer. THE PROFESSIONAL SALES ASSOCIATE MUST BE: 1.An Actor...you're on stage - perform! 2.A Psychologist...skillful questioning 3.A Reporter...gather and give information 4.A Chaplain...careful listening 5.A Tiger...be persistent Your emotions must ...

RULES TO A SAFE & EFFECTIVE DEMO IN ECAR SALES TRAINING

Image
Is the vehicle READY to be presented & demonstrated? You MUST be in the vehicle during the demo drive! You should always drive FIRST! Trade drivers in a QUIET and SAFE route! Always take a test drive on a PRE-PLANNED route! Always take RIGHT turns! Maintain CONTROL at all times! Play it SAFE at all times! Make a photocopy of the Buyer's DRIVER'S LICENSE! ecar sales training

HOW THE SELLING DRIVE - PROVE YOUR PRODUCT IN ACTION

Image
A selling drive must be your product in action and creating a desire of ownership. Never ask a Buyer, "Would you like to drive the car?" or "Have you driven this car before?" Assume they're seeing it for the first time and enthusiastically present your product. The drive should also include the type of conditions they will operate the new car in. If they drive on the highway or in the city, let them try it out under their normal conditions. Your Buyer must envision the vehicle under the same conditions that they will use the product after purchase. ecar sales training

TRADE-IN EVALUATION PROCEDURE ECAR SALES TRAINING

Image
1.Obtain Vehicle Condition Report from the Desk. Complete the top portion with the buyer and proceed to the vehicle for further evaluation. 2.At the car, ask the Buyer to give you the odometer reading. Make sure they look at the odometer and give you the exact mileage. There's a reason for this that will be discussed ahead. 3.3. Say to Buyer, "let me get some additional information on your car, since I must check with our "Used Car Buyer" for a price. 4.Start going over each question on the trade evaluation form and be specific. (This will aid the used car manager in putting a fair market value on the vehicle.) 5.Check entire vehicle for defects. Do not run it down. DO NOT DISCUSS COST OF REPAIRS! Touch the tires, rust, damaged areas-but don't say anything. The Buyer will tell you about their vehicle without you asking direct questions. 6.Remember to check the operation of all equipment, i.e. power options, stereo, air conditioner, etc. Look the interior o...

SPECIFICATIONS AND DIMENSION PRESENTATION IN ECAR SALES TRAINING

Image
When doing this presentation, you're "SHOWING AND SHARING" very important information with your buyer. Performance, Maintenance, Dimensions and Capacities are all items they deserve to know about. You could also touch on Product-Benefit items here but save that for Step Five and Six. Right now your goal is to impress your buyer with your product knowledge and get them excited about ownership of the car you are selling them. Watch their "TRUST AND CONFIDENCE" barometer rise. Make sure you know your vehicles, all models and trim levels. Make a detailed presentation with many specifications. Be visual when presenting your product. Move around the vehicle. Do not stand in one place and just tell. SHOW AND SHARE! ecar sales training

SAFETY PRESENTATION IN ECAR SALES TRAINING

Image
Automakers are loading their cars up with advanced new safety technology as a way to make their cars stand out in an increasingly crowded market. Safety is gaining in importance to the American consumer at a very fast pace. Starting in 1990, all cars, by Federal Law, must have some form of passive restraint, such as "Automatic Seat Belts" and/or an "Air Bag." In presenting safety, be aware that your Buyer does have real concerns. Don't assume safety isn't important and wouldn't be a buying factor-it is! Why Present Safety? 1.Security and Self-Preservation 2.Create Interest-Builds Desire to own 3.Aids in justifying the investment 4.Is an "Emotional" deciding factor 5.Resale Value 6.Distinguishes you as a "PRO" Use the "17 Point Safety Presentation" as it applies to your particular car. Be sure to keep your presentation moving and informative. Role-play this presentation with your fellow salespeople whenever you ha...
