Sales Training
Building a successful sales team
The most effective way to improve your sales department’s performance is to have a consistent training program. Utilizing our training services will insure your sales team has the tools necessary to be successful in today’s very competitive market. We have programs to assist your dealership in recruiting new salespeople as well as polishing the skill set of your sales team veterans. Our programs are economical and are customized for your dealership.
Today’s tight employment market makes it even more important to insure the success of your salespeople. No longer can you hire new salespeople anytime you need them. You must develop your own sales team. Your sales team’s success is directly related to their ability to market automobiles on a consistent basis. By offering your salespeople a consistent training program you are polishing their selling skills and providing them with the tools necessary to compete in this ever changing marketplace. If salespeople are selling automobiles and making money they are less likely to leave for greener pastures or get out of the business.
We offer 14 modules that are taught in 2 hour seminars. We believe that a 2 hour late morning seminar is the least disruptive and most beneficial. You will select a module on a monthly basis. The following is a list of available modules.
- Good Impressions
- Product Presentation
- Prospecting
- Leasing
- Internet
- Need Analysis
- Negotiating
- Closing Skills
- Aftersale
- Administration
- Locates, Factory Orders
- Increase CSI
- Customer Follow Up
- Consistent hiring process. You must plant seeds and pick weeds. Having a training class for new hires quarterly will improve your sales team. Consistently hiring new sales people will allow you to be selective about whom you want to keep on the floor. Sales personnel who under perform can be terminated without losing coverage. Your existing sales team will understand that only performance will secure their position with the company.
