Everybody wants a number. 30 days, 60, 90, then drop them.

There is no number.

Look at the source, look at how much they are actually engaging, and look at what your CRM status says they told you.

How long does your team follow up before they let a lead go?

Saturday at the dealership hits different.

Coffee going cold on the desk. Keys everywhere. Somebody hollering for a manager. Three customers waiting and two of them are on the same salesperson.

Best day of the week and the most chaotic. Both things are true.

Here is the thing about Saturday though. It exposes whatever you built Monday through Friday. A team with a clear daily flow runs it. A team without one just survives it.

Saturday does not create the problem. It just turns the lights on.

Y'all still in it right now? Drop a 🚗 in the comments and let me know your store is alive.

A Kia store went from 211 cars to 603 cars in six months. Same CRM, same salespeople, same leadership team. Nobody worked more hours and nobody got hired.

If your numbers doubled without adding a single hire, what would have to change first?

Full breakdown in the comments.

I asked an Online Experience Team why customers confirm an appointment and then never show up.

Room full of pros.
Nobody said anything.

Then the newest lady answered.
Three weeks in the car business.

Came out of being a leader at Buffalo Wild Wings.

"They're scared. They think they're gonna be wasting their time if they can't get the car. They'd rather stay home than hear it."

The room went quiet.

Because she was right.

And because everybody else in there had been answering that question wrong for years.

Customers move based on confidence and connection with your team.

The newest person in your building usually says the truest thing in the room.

They have not learned yet what they are supposed to say.

Who is the newest person on your team, and when is the last time you asked them anything?

Sometimes the best things come from the freshest voices.

Gratitude.

Throwback Thursday.

Pulled this one from three years ago and it holds up.

Your customer sets an appointment with you and an appointment with the store down the road. You send a video confirmation.

They send nothing. Same customer, two completely different experiences before anybody walks in.

What does your customer get between the appointment being set and the day they show up?

A while back I pulled up to a Kia store on a rainy morning.

Jason met me out on the curb before I even got in the building.
The GM.

Shorts, driving shoes, printed reports already in his hand.

Not a folder.
Not a laptop.
Paper. Marked up.

We stood out there on that island in the wet parking lot going through numbers while the cars dripped around us.

At some point I asked him, "Are you ready to do some video content?"

He looked at me without hesitation.

"Yep."

The general manager.

He does the after hours video.
He does the monthly video campaigns.
He does video appointment confirmations.

All in the CRM.

And here is what happens when a leader does that.
Nobody on that floor can say video is not their job.

The standard is not written on a wall somewhere.
It is standing in the parking lot in shorts holding a stack of paper.

We can roll out every tool in the world.
We can build the process, set the KPI, run the training.

But a team will never out-video their leader.

Jason gets it.
That is why we love working with that group.

Much Love to their entire sales team, they strong!
Online Sales Through 1st Half: 211 LY to 600 This Year.

Huge shoutout to Deon who leads at the front as well with his team at VW.
Doing the same, I just don't have the fro pick to go with it, but it's coming.

Praise to all my leaders out there leading in the front with content and their team.

Leaders, when is the last time your team saw you on camera?

Two Minute Response Time. Nobody's Talking Back.

Are you measuring how fast you respond, or how often they respond back?

Training used to be word tracks and closes. That part still matters. But the new part are the tools...

Your team's AI only knows what your rep typed.

Calling and texting on their personal cell and not logging, recipe for disaster.
No notes and the machine guesses.

Wrong status and the automation calls the wrong customer.

So we coach two skills now.

How to run the conversation.
How to log it clean enough that the tool can help.

Who on your floor trains on the CRM and digital tools the way you train the walkaround?

Your Show Rate Isn't an Appointment Problem.

What are you sending your customers after the appointment is set?

Years back a woman sat down at my desk and she could not buy.

Her income was not where it needed to be, and no lender was going to make that math work.

Everybody in the store had already written her off.

She told me what she did for a living. And she loved what she did, but the income didn't align...

So we got on CareerBuilder together and looked for that same work somewhere that paid her more, and I connected her with the right people.

She sent me nine people over the next ninety days.

I never sold her anything.

I just did not treat her like she was worth less because she could not buy that day.

It's all about experience, whether your customers buy or don't.

Where did you and your team go the extra mile for somebody, and get back more than you expected?

Gratitude.
