HOW TO MAKE YOUR DEALERSHIP STAND OUT!
You are NOT a Car Dealer!
Most car dealers think they’re in the car business, and they’re wrong!
People don’t just buy cars. They buy a solution to their problem. If everyone just bought a car for the sake of having one, then we would all be driving the same identical boring car.

Let’s take one of our dealers, for example. His name is Jon. He has the biggest selection of classic cars.
Jon does occasionally accept trade-ins, has financing options, and some of his cars come with a limited warranty. However, since none of this is the main focus of his dealership, and certainly not the focus of his primary buyers, he doesn’t mention any of them in his ads.
Jon’s main specialty is classic cars, and that’s how he advertises his dealership.

We always ask our dealers, why do their customers buy from them? Finding an answer to that question is the first step into doubling their sales. Read more on this, plus 6 more secrets in “7 Ways to Double Sales in 90 Days” ebook.
