I know most of you can’t stand dealer trades,
and they are part of our business.
Do you know, we often create the dealer trades we claim to hate?
How?
By starting the sale wrong and asking the wrong questions.
By following the Sales Process in the Excellence Roadmap, you learn to ask the right questions, help your buyer find the right car (on your lot), and decrease dealer trades.
Always explain dealer trades to your buyers.
Don’t assume they understand it.
They don’t.
If you can’t get a buyer on the car or there’s a product objection you cannot sell around, let them know about the dealer trade option.
Think about the dealer trade process from the point of view of a buyer who has never been through it. Follow your dealership’s game plan.
Good Selling!
