#1 blog about sales calls

It’s easy to fall into a rut when it comes to sales prospecting.

Admit it: You probably have a strategy or two that work well for you – and you stick with those strategies because they get you results.

But if you’re relying on just a few of the myriad tactics out there instead of branching out, it’s virtually guaranteed that you’re missing prospects. That’s because buyer journeys have become more complex than ever before.

Prospects don’t just call up salespeople and buy. They take an omnichannel approach to finding products and getting the information they need to make decisions. In fact, Accenture’s On the Verge report found that:

Dealers will always ask themselves the question: “How to get even more car sales leads?”

The first thing dealers in the U.S. are going to do is buying some leads from a lead provider that is selling the same leads to multiple dealerships.

American automotive market is highly competitive – currently new car models are lasting longer and financing of the purchase requires more time to finish. Car sales in the United States amounted to $5.3 million units in 2018 preceded by $6.08 million in the previous year according to Statista.  

How to stand out and outperform other dealerships fighting for the same customer?

Qualifying prospects look  like a guessing game for the sales department.

It should not be a shot in the dark – on the contrary, you want to make your sales process more predictable. Therefore,  defining a sales process as a mathematical formula suits more than a guessing game.

An effective lead qualification process commences with a piece of solid data-backed knowledge about your ideal customer.

How can you prepare an actionable system to identify the best leads with high chances to convert?  We asked our sales department as to what makes a great lead for them.

We live in a world of speed. Customers expect instant service, instant replies, immediate delivery. It doesn’t just relate to online shopping or helplines, it also applies to purchase decisions such as buying a new car or even an apartment. Nobody wants to wait. But are the salespeople from all these different industries able to meet these expectations?

Giving product demos is the bread and butter of salespeople. But at the same time, many reps struggle to reach a decent conversion rate from these kinds of presentations. In this article, we will discuss how to give a demo call that drives results. It’s all about proper planning and personalization - trust us!

Humans have a pack mentality.  We’re easily influenced by the thoughts and opinions of the people around us. This was confirmed by Friedrich Nietzsche, a German philosopher who coined the concept of “Herd Morality.” It’s the idea that humans set aside their own view in favor of the group’s instincts.

Car dealerships should be moving faster to digital advertising channels and putting in more effort to increase their visibility online. 

This is a logical decision, as customers find digital channels increasingly more useful.

87% of car buyers and 90% of service clients use digital channels to choose a car dealership according to Digital Air Strike study 2017.
