George is a top used truck sales rep and has been since he started here nine years ago. He’s been in the business for almost 40 years, driving for 10 and then selling for the past 27. He credits a friend of his father’s, Wally Ropel, for being his mentor and helping him break into sales. George is paying it forward and offers advice to the people he’s helped bring into the truck sales business, saying “be patient and plant seeds, eventually the seeds will sprout and need to be harvested.” He also rightfully points out that sales is a marathon and not a sprint. Many of George’s clients have become friends and repeat customers. In his spare time, George loves to be with his family. He also golfs, and his favorite hobby is snowmobiling. George says that TransChicago offers the opportunity to succeed at a high level, regardless of our industry’s challenges. And we say it’s employees like George who contribute to our success as well. Thank you for being a leader on our team, George! #employeespotlight #employees #teamwork #daimlertruck #selectrucks #usedtrucks #truckingindustry #truckingbusiness #trucking #trucksales

Chapter 3 is up.

Chapter 3 After finishing the foundations program, I did a 180 and went into vehicle sales. I took a 1 week sales course and found a dealership who took a chance on a “green” sales person. One of the salesmen named Henry Lee was my “work dad” and mentor. I remember one talk he gave me… “Coralee, see the young, female, Business Manager? She used to be a Sales Person just like you. Now, she is sleeping with the General Manager and got a new job.” There was no further explanation or lesson but from his tone I took it as a warning to be careful, not as a way to “get ahead”. On a different note… I became a sales person to the First Nations in the community since I took the extra time to deliver their vehicles to their land. While I enjoyed helping customer find vehicles to fit their needs and budgets, it was a porridge is “too hot” scenario. I was not a fan or dressing up and wanted to talk with them about the long term maintenance of their vehicle which is not people’s first thought when purchasing a vehicle. Don’t worry Murdoch Maclennan, CTC is next. Thank you Tony Owens for the sharing memories theme.

There’s one thing Car Sales taught me that I will always be grateful for… Being able to take rejection, criticism (or dogs abuse 😅), failure and set-backs but keep putting one foot in front of the other. Developing an ‘it is what it is’ mentality. 💩 happens. Deal with it and move on. Big up my fellow frontline soldiers 💪🏻🤣 #carsales #mindset

You’re a Winner! Recently I watched a documentary on a Major league baseball teams training camp. What are they doing at this camp? They are instilling a winning mentality with these players. The players are being told, 1. “If you strike out you will get on the next time. Don’t give up!” 2. “If we are down a run or two, we can come back and win. Don’t give up!” 3. “If we lose a game we will come back and win the next game. Don’t give up!” The same is true in car sales & in the Finance office. Sometimes we don’t sell a car, catch every customer or hit a homerun. How will you respond? That’s when maintaining composure comes into play. If the innings not over the games not over. We stay in the game and rally. You’re a winner! What can help increase your closing ratio in Car Sales and in the F&I office? In car sales here is a few things that need to happen: 1. Make sure you are doing a proper meet and greet. First impressions matter. 2. Make sure to utilize your managers to help you close the customers. These managers have sold hundreds of vehicles. They will help you win. Is your Finance Manager in a slump? 3.How about having the salesperson sit in the F& I office when you do the paperwork with the customers. Why? This will insure you offer a 100% of the products a 100% of the time. As F&I people we sometimes get tired of saying the same sales tracks over and over. Remember these customers have not heard this sales pitch in 3- 4 years on average or perhaps ever. Stay the course you are a winner! 4. Set goals. Look at each customer as one of your bills being paid. Example: 1. First deal sold pays your grocery bill. 2. Second your utilities. 3. Third fourth and fifth you’re housing. The moral to the story; Set goals! Stay positive! Don’t give up! Be a winner!

The Road to Sales - Mauritz Rheeder 2024 (a poem about sales in the motor industry) In the motor trade, the engines hum, A race begins, from rise to sun, Applications sent, approvals sought, A whirlwind of deals, some smoothly caught. The showroom’s filled with endless dreams, But not all clients come with gleams. Some cheer you on, some fight and shout, Yet every sale brings its own route. Empty boards that haunt the eyes, But fill with names as the hours fly. Some days are lean, some overflow, Where profit soars or sinks too low. To sell a car for a price so high, Or walk away with barely a sigh— It’s not just deals, it’s fire and thrill, Meeting strangers, pushing the hill. The joy, the sweat, the highs, the fall, In motor sales, you live it all. A ride with twists, both sharp and grand, But in the end, you take your stand. #motorindustry #sales #management #hr #targets #goals #lovely job #recruitment #no1 #meetings #salesboard #cars

Day #11 26 Days with Jeff Talking the ABC's of SALES!🤔 # 11 K is KNOWLEDGE 💥 There's 3 areas that KNOWLEDGE is key in automotive sales! KNOWLEDGE of product. Knowing your product so that you're able to show the features and benefits of every vehicle you have available! KNOWLEDGE of incentives/programs. By knowing your programs, you're then as a sales professional able to show what is best for your customers. KNOWLEDGE of availability. Knowing not only what you have in stock, but also what you have coming in and just knowing where a particular vehicle is on your lot is what builds value in you as a sales professional! My encouragement today, is to get to know your inventory better, understand your programs that are available and know where your inventory is at. By knowing these 3 things are what I feel will sell you as a professional, but also make the sales process much easier and efficient for your customers! LET'S GO!👊🏻 #OnFireToInspire Happy Monday #linkedinfam! Wishing everyone a AMAZING day and a GREAT weekend!! #knowledge #26DaysWithJeff #OnFireToInspire #GetItDone #1Shot #NoRegrets #topsales #automotive #toyota #Blessed #thankful #WeWillWalkTogether #ImBack #LetsDoThis #GodsPlan #JeffMakesItEasy #JeffDelivers

Two things holding you back in car sales… - Lack of self-confidence. - Lack of action. Don’t let the voice in your head talk down to you. Believe in yourself and your skillset! You also know the daily actions that get you closer to a deal. Double down on them, especially on the days you’re not feeling it. Put yourself in danger of doing a deal 🤝 Happy selling! #carsales

If you’re in car sales 🚘 Watch this video.. There’s no such thing as being too pushy Most people need that extra push in order to even make a decision in their lives It’s your job as a professional to educate the customer as to why they are making the right decision After building rapport and spending a bunch of time and energy working with your client to find them the right vehicle, you have every right to give them that extra little push so that they can make a decision Lead with customer service and pushing your solution on your customers rather than being passive and weak and saying “yeah ok you want to think about it no problem..” They didn’t come into the dealership so they can “think about it” they came into the dealership because they need a car 🚘 Develop that BIG DAWG MENTALITY #bigdawgmentality Follow for more #sales #salesman #salesmanager #salestips #carsales #mindset #salestrainer
