Without data, how can leadership teams make informed decisions? Interesting insights from HBR "Senior executives at car companies drive only the newest models....They never experienced quality breakdowns as the cars aged, rust problems, or issues with scheduling service calls at a snarly auto shop. Imagine their surprise at hearing people complain about problems that they don’t even know or think about!" https://lnkd.in/gFn68y_D #DataDrivenInsights #Leadership

Car Sales Tip of the Day Building trust early with customers is extremely crucial! To achieve this, it is essential to showcase your expertise in the automotive industry. This involves staying updated with the latest news, attending training sessions, and being well-prepared for meetings by understanding the customer's preferences and having all necessary information readily available. Additionally, sharing resources such as brochures and detailed specifications can further demonstrate your knowledge and the dealership's offerings. During interactions with customers, using word tracks like highlighting the new features of the latest model or providing insights tailored to their interests can help in establishing credibility and fostering trust. #Autosales #Cardealer #Leadership

Leadership is about taking feedback, not taking offense. When my leadership team pointed out that our used car gross needed a boost, we (myself and sales team) didn’t shy away from the conversation—we tackled it head-on. Tonight, instead of clocking out at closing time, I’m here with my salesperson, closing a deal on a stunning 2020 Audi S3 that I brought in two weeks ago. Because great results come from great teamwork, and good culture breeds more good culture. Let’s keep raising the bar, together! #LeadershipInAction #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork #SalesLeadership #UsedCarSuccess #AutomotiveLife #SalesGoals #CultureMatters #TeamFirst #GrossProfitGrowth #ClosingDeals #CarSalesLife #LeadByExample #WinningCulture #WOCAN #WomenInAutomotive #LatinasInAutomotive
