Most Sales Managers receive little or no training to prepare them for their first Sales Management position. Think back to the first time you were given a set of accounts or composites to review or were asked to complete a performance review with one of you team. All high performing Sales Departments have a great sales manager leading the team and driving profit into the entire business. Take a look at what our delegates and their managers say about the Road To Sales Management Programme...

£255+ ppm, no Deposit !!!!! 😎 OK, there are lots of Brokers and dealers out there offering you really low monthly payments, but will then ask for huge deposits when you call them. So I have put a deal together with nothing required from you and an incredibly low monthly payment, but with only only 40 available, these will vanish incredibly quickly at this price. Brand New Renault Kangoo Petrol Tce 100ps L1 in white, one payment of £255+, followed by 46 payments of £255+, followed by a balloon payment of £7333.33+, Finance lease with Renault Financial services, full quote below!

At least 2 other dealerships are going to steal your customers… Thats the statistics. Customers enquire on 3-5 vehicles on average before buying a vehicle meaning the differentiating factor is dependant on the customers experience. Starting at the response. Being the first is key. Of course finance options, rates and all the other parts matter but the first to respond stands the highest chance of winning the deal. Think about buying the latest iPhone. ↳ If you’re first in line you’re most likely to get one and if you’re last it’s usually sold out. The truth is, there’s simple actions you can take in your systems to win more business. Prompt communication is one of them and AI can help. See how below!

NO-ONE IS BUYING USED EV’s 😡🤯 Probably heard that a few times recently .. ? The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) just released a Q1 2024 update on used EV sales and the figures say otherwise!! 🚀 BEV sales ⬆ 71% YoY 💥 HEV sales ⬆ 49.3% YoY 📈 PHEV sales ⬆ 42.5% YoY BEV’s only make up 2.1% of the used car sales market … but you have to start somewhere and that’s a new record. More and more people are thinking about purchasing their first EV. What's stopping you? #myenergi #SMMT #electricvehicles

This is what NOT to do if you’re in car 🚘 sales When a customer gives you a super unreasonable offer you can’t just go to your manager and see if you can get it for them As soon as you “see” if you can get that deal for your customer it will set their expectation that it’s actually a possibility When in reality there’s no way they are gonna get that deal..

One reason some car dealers decide not to use our handover pack is: 'The drinks were disgusting, I'm not a fan of coffee.'* Well you won't be getting this review then... 😂 If YOU run a busy car dealership and want to get reviews like this, then drop me a message. *reasons may vary

Listen up!! Its clear from talking to business leaders that New vehicle sales have been tough this year. So know you are not on your own if you are falling short against the internal budget you have been set by Head Office. Remember your 2024 budget was a best guess on what opportunities MIGHT be possible, based on the previous year/ years performance, stock availability, and manufacturer ambitions. Of course all manufacturers want their share of the pie, but they do not know how big the pie is going to be, and 11 people cannot each have 10% of it. If you sometimes feel like your performance is lacking, it might be helpful to listen to the Motortrade Radio Podcast each Saturday morning to understand what is going on in the market place and how your performance sits within the bigger picture. ( because worryingly, some business leaders expect a bigger slice of a pie that just isn’t there!)

Can I be honest with you? Since we launched our Automotive Recruiters division, the feedback on our RETAINED recruitment service has been incredible. Seriously. (read on if you're a dealership) A lot of dealer groups who have been using a number of contingency agencies for years took the plunge into retained and will never look back. Especially for those harder to fill roles, it just makes sense! Let's face it, if you have a number of agencies looking to fill a role with no guarantee they'll be the first to you with a CV, this leads to either poor candidates (and candidate experience) or a lack of screening and outb ound work to find good people. This ultimately comes back to the dealer group as they're the ones who end up with poor quality people, or no people at all!! Whereas, if you're on a retained partnership, the agencies (such as ours) is working exclusively for you to find the very best people, and they can invest the time and resources into uncovering diamonds and doing the best screening to ensure a suitable fit for the role. This leads to faster fill rates, higher quality candidates, and a better overal experience for EVERYONE. I implore you, if you have some roles that you're struggling to fill, or if you aren't seeing strong results from your current PSL of contingency suppliers, please send me a message. I'd love to spend just 10 minutes showing you the benefits of retained! And if you still don't think it's for you, you've lost nothing more than 10 minutes on a call with me.... 👍
