Auto Dealership Training: Sales Fundamentals

5 05 2009

Getting ahead in the car business is the goal of many salesmen. With all the pressure to perform, it is easy to loose sight of what is important. The fundamentals of sales are easy to forget. Getting back on track with sales fundamentals will get you ahead in the sales business.

Car Sales Training Tip One: Ready to View Merchandise
Your bottom line depends on how many cars you sell and how many cars you sell is partially dependent on how the cars in inventory look. Showing a potential client a car that is dirty or not working properly is very likely to negatively impact your bottom line. Take the time to make sure that all the vehicles on your lot are always ready to be shown. It’s a simple step that can positively impact your bottom line.

Automotive Sales Training Tip Two: Talk to Them, Know What They Want
One of the fundamentals of sales is knowing what your customer wants. Don’t spend all your time researching the cars; spend a little time researching the client. Talk to them about their car needs and their lifestyle then couple that with your car knowledge to present them with the best car for them. Taking a little time before you present will ensure you are presenting the best car for your customer.

Automotive Sales Training Tip Three: In Sales, Equality Rules the Day
How many walk-ins have you looked over once and decided they were not really there to buy? Did you take the time to talk to them and try to rev them up, get them excited about the possibility of a new car? Or did you give a half-hearted sales pitch that ended up in the client walking away before you ever got to present? That is handing sales away. Take the time to treat every walk-in equally - as if they were all there prepared to walk away with a new vehicle and you will see your numbers go up.

Instead of spending your time focusing on your quotas, get back to basics with your sales techniques to see growth in your bottom line. Make sure all the vehicles available to present are actually ready to present. Talk to you customer and really get to know what they want and then present to them only vehicles that fit those needs. Finally, sell to everyone; even the walk-ins you think are just there to look. These three key areas will improve your closed sales number if you just take the time to do them.
