Selling Tips
Three Selling Opportunities
1. During The Product Presentation
2. During The Price Presentation
3. After You’ve Closed the Sale
Selling Tips
During The Product Presentation• Introduce The Accessory Idea
“Bob, we can install a GM bedliner in this truck to protect the bed and keep your cargo from sliding around.”
“Betty, some GM assist steps would help you get in and out of this truck. We have a couple of styles to choose from.”
“Bob, we can look at the custom wheels available for this car when we go inside.”
• Never Talk Price on The LotSell The Product on Your Feet –
Sell The Deal on Your Seat!
Selling Tips
During The Price Presentation• Assume The Sale
“Betty, I had my Manager give me the price including those assist steps we looked at.”
“Bob, the price of our truck is $35,115. The GM bedliner we spoke about is $366.50 installed. After rebate, that makes it…”
• Ask For The Sale “You wanted me to go ahead and figure the
20” wheels into the deal, didn’t you?” “Since the Entertainment System will be
covered with your Tahoe’s warranty, you want to go ahead and add it now, right?”
Selling Tips
After You’ve Closed The Sale• Give Them One More Opportunity
The Hard Part is Over They’ve Agreed to Buy The Car Give Them One More Opportunity to
Personalize Their Vehicle “Bob, shall I go ahead and add the bedliner
to the deal before we wrap things up?” “Betty, you said you plan to get the assist
steps in a few months. Wouldn’t you rather get that done now so you don’t have to worry about it later?”
