Dont Be A Hunter!

Wow that sounds weird doesnt it? I mean I am smack in the middle of "huntin country" in central Pennsylvania. I have gone hunting for over 5 years and can tell you that although I did have fun with the guys I went with, I left the feeling that I had just wasted an entire week of my life doing nothing. Maybe I did it wrong. I woke up at 4:00am to get to the woods at 5:00am to walk a couple of miles to get to my ideal "spot by sun up. Now this just isnt a walk thru the meadow there are trees and rocks and streams to contend with plus its completely black out and cold as the dickens! Then when I finally get to my spot I sit there and wait and hopefully a deer walks by so I can blast it. In over 5 years I have done this method and have been told by my family experts that it works. They kill deer every year without fail so I listen to them. I have not even seen a deer since my first year out.

This may (or may not) work in deer hunting. It will not work in car sales! I guarantee that if you only wait on the floor traffic of your store you will starve to death. Customers want to be more important than being a floor up. Truth be told they are.

For at least the next six months I am going to put my money where my mouth is. I have taken a new job at a new dealership as a salesperson. I am not going to have any "power" that management has. I am just going to do what I have said to do with social media, and my service lane. Because by the way I am at a new dealership where my wife is from. I have no contacts here! No established clientele! I hope you guys take this journey with me and help me along the way. I am no where near an expert. I just think there is something to social media and i think you can make a good living just by utilizing it. If you have any tips for me please comment below or send me an email at jbrown8818@gmail.com .

here is my first question for you. If you went to a store that had ZERO social media presence what would be the first step you would take?

Thank you all,

Jeremy

    I think your post is AWESOME!! I am so in to HELP you any way I can :)

     

    To answer your 1st question... First thing I would do is check the temperature of the dealership. Meaning, I would find out if the dealership is interested in Social Media and if so would they allow you to Champion that cause... And if they are interested, I have some suggestions for you! Now, if they have little or NO interest, then you are on your own and that will be a total different strategy and I would be more than happy to assist you on that on too.

     

    Let me know which scenario you are in and we can go from there! I am looking forward to assisting you and documenting the results here on AIS!
