http://www.DealerSynergy.com 267-319-6776 Why Training is Important:? There are over 17,500 Franchised Dealerships in the country with over 400,000 Automotive Sales Professionals, Managers and Owners. The average sales person delivers 9 units per month and earns less than $50,000 annually. Furthermore, the Auto industry is hemorrhaging with Attrition. Over 70% Attrition with new hires! Yet, there are people that are averaging 30, 40 and even 50+ units per month on the Showroom Floor and earning $150,000 , $200,000 and even $350,000+ per year on the showroom floor. Why? How? What’s the difference? Simple, People that are trained properly, prepared for every situation, every scenario, that are confident and organized are going to do more, be more and achieve more. Do NOT let your people “PRACTICE” with real customers. 99% of prospects go online before they step foot into the Dealership. The average “In Market Buyer” only visits 1.2 Dealerships. The Internet and Phones are the “New Showroom”! If you have NOT set up your Internet, Phones and BDC initiative correctly or set up your CRM and TRAINED everyone in your organization thoroughly on these strategies and resources you will fail. If you do not fail, the best you can hope for is mediocrity. People are NOT an expense or a liability. The right people, properly trained are your greatest asset and what differentiates you from your competition. So invest in your business, invest in your people. Train, mentor and develop your people.

NADA Industry Report and Keynote Speakers

NADA recently released a new report stating U.S dealerships are a major player in the economy’s recovery. This is due to the fact that dealerships added jobs and paid above average wages. Additionally, they provided earnings growth each week. The fundamental findings that solidified the results were as follows:

•  Weekly earnings were higher for the majority of Private Sector Businesses. Typically employees earned 25% more than the previous year.

•  47 percent of new hires were Gen Y. Generation Y is defined as individuals who were born between 1980s-early 2000s which make up 27 percent of dealership employees – also known as “Millenials”

•  Work-life balances have been improved because many dealerships scheduled employees to work less than 45 hours a week.

•  The Gender Gap is slowly closing, with 17.7 percent of new hires being women – more than the previous year.

 This has been a HUGE deal for the economy and you can read the full report here

Dealer Synergy is proud to have both its CEO, Sean V. Bradley, and General Manager, Joe Cala speaking at the upcoming NADA/ATD Convention in San Francisco.Sean’s presentation is titled “Video: The Most Powerful Tool for Your Truck Dealership.” This is HUGE because 78 percent of people are watching videos once a week.  In fact, YouTube is the number 2 search engine in the world, behind Google.

To give you an idea of just how big this is, by 2017, 90 percent of Internet traffic will be video based. Present day, 55 percent of people watch a video daily. In fact, if you have a video on your website, people are 64 percent more likely to buy your product. In his presentation, Sean will break down just how much of an impact video can have on your dealership with regards to testimonials, sales, and beyond.

Joe will be speaking about the importance of getting better before getting bigger. He will discuss how important it is to make your brand better, strengthen your team, and standardize your processes before concentrating on growing your business. If you focus on being better first, your customers will come to you, and your business will ultimately grow.

AutoUSA recently completed its 2013 auto dealer Internet Marketing survey, in which we asked "What is the most common sales objection you are hearing from customers?" We summarized results from 147 respondents, including Internet sales managers, sales managers, BDC managers, marketing managers and senior management.

According to our survey, these are the most common sales objections:

  • Our price not in line with customer expectations (28%)
  • Customer can't get financing (19%)
  • Consumer confidence with economy (14%)
  • Customer can't afford a new vehicle (12%)
  • Customer doesn't have time/too busy (10%)
  • Dealership didn't have desired model available (5%)
  • Customer didn't like dealership sales process (1%)

When we include other answers such as "customer wanted price before coming in," "need to talk to husband/wife," "not offering enough money for trade-in," it’s evident that affordability and pricing are key to the decision-making process. So how can we deal with affordability objections?

It starts with understanding the customer’s process. Thanks to increased transparency on the Internet, and to the numerous e-commerce sites out there, today's consumer is used to being in control of the purchasing process. If we want to buy something, we use the Internet to conduct research, read product or service reviews, do some comparative price shopping and then finally, click a button. Purchase complete.

When it comes to buying a vehicle, the consumer attempts to follow this same path. For the most part, they can. There are sites that provide information in abundance, reviews of both vehicles and local dealers, and pricing guidance. When it comes to detailed affordability options, like finance or lease payments, those sites often fall short and customers either target the wrong car or seek out the dealer for answers.

You can help the consumer by giving information they can’t reliably get anywhere else. As dealers, we understand that many factors go into giving a price quote - it's not always an easy, cut-and-dry number to give. It’s OK to educate your customers on this, but you also have to give them information, and proactively at that.

On your website, include real payments using payment-quoting tools such as Payment ProSM. When you receive phone calls, answer questions about pricing directly and be prepared to follow up with key questions that will help you shape the conversation and identify if the customer is on the right vehicle. In the showroom and on the lot, don’t be afraid to have conversations about payment ranges or even post them on cars.

Today's consumer feels entitled to information. If you can help the customer find the information they are looking for instead of stonewalling them, you build trust. And trust is the key to overcoming objections and gaining the sale.

I'd like to hear from Internet sales managers and sales managers. What are the most common objections you are hearing, and how do you overcome these objections? What has worked and what hasn't?

 

Come visit us at booth # 3514 at NADA and ask for a demo of Payment Pro!
