There is a lot of concern about AI and how it will effect the automotive and powersports space. In my opinion Amazon entering these markets is a much larger immediate concern. Here are my thoughts and strategies

Hey midwesterners... in particular, those that live in Missouri, Illinois and the great state of Indiana. NPA is hiring a Territory Sales Manager to do the stuff they do with auctions. If you want to learn more, you aren't going to get that info here. My mind is already mashed potatoes... and gravy... and pie... and rolls... more pie... nap... leftovers.... anything but thinking about job descriptions. So it's on you to learn more. https://lnkd.in/gwrKwAP5

We had the pleasure of meeting Chad and his incredible team from Thompson's Motorsports in Terre Haute, IN, at the NPDA Dealer Connect event. Now, we’re thrilled to be partnering with them to level up their sales game through our tailored training sessions! 🎉 In this featured clip, Tom shares a powerful approach to sales that resonates with both the team and their customers: 🔑 Key Takeaways from the Training Session: Match the Customer with Their Dream Bike: It’s not just about a sale; it’s about finding the bike that brings joy every time it’s seen in the garage. Address Pricing Openly: Avoiding the price conversation creates distrust. Acknowledge it confidently and tie it into the process of finding the right bike. Use Mirroring Techniques: Build rapport and alignment with customers through non-verbal cues that foster trust. 📹 Watch the video to see Tom in action, helping the team at Thompson’s Motorsports refine their strategies and drive results. 💬 Let us know in the comments if you’re ready to transform your team’s sales approach like Chad’s team!
