Every number that was supposed to matter went down. Sales went up 13.6%.
In September, a leader I work with was worried his store was going to be "down."
Then the final report came in.
Leads: down 11%.
Walk-ins: down 15%.
Visits: down 6%.
If you stopped reading there, you'd think it was all bad news.
But Jason, Chris, the leaders, and the team didn't stop there.
Appointments set: up 36%.
Appointments shown: up 34%.
New cars: up 51%.
Total sales: up 13.6% over last year.
Less traffic.
More sales.
That's freakin incredible!!
When I asked him what was different a few weeks ago, his answer was simple.
Stop focusing on the traffic and focus on your conversions.
Focus on what you can control.
They leaned into their AI partner, their CRM, and daily ex*****on.
The market decides how many people walk in.
Your team decides what happens next.
In his words: "We did MORE with LESS opportunities."
So proud of Jason, the Sales Leaders, and their entire fam.
What's one thing your team controlled this month that the market didn't?
Gratitude.
