I've watched them all so far. Its an OK show. I don't think it will last long with me if it doesn't get changed up a bit. Every episode so far is pretty much the same.
I do, however, think its a good show for salespeople to watch. There are some decent tips relayed each show. I think one of my favorites was just called past customers to say happy bday. That's brilliant, IMHO. Keeps your name top of mind with your customers and, as long as you don't mention business during such a call, reinforces that a call from you is NOT a call that needs to be avoided.

I still get Christmas cards from a salesman I bought a used car from over 10 years ago - and I live 100 miles away now. I can't remember if he sends birthday cards.

For about the last 10 years, we get a Christmas package just before Christmas from the Acura dealer via UPS. A box of very good quality salsa (3 varieties, each in a jar) and two bags of good quality Mexican chips (2 varieties). These are made by a company from a very famous Mexican chef that has a restaurant in Chicago. Of course, the Christmas gifts are built into the costs of service we pay for at the dealer.

Another in the hidden dash cam series although I suspect the sales guy is an actor. Will probably bring back bad memories for Isell or Boomchek.

That's a nice $3 bill, there.
Knowing the...umm...diverse population here in the PNW, no doubt boomcheck or isell have had minor heart attacks in similar situations.

Local screamer ad Hyundai dealer (with annoying jingle) has a new spot for Genesis - claims a 43 or 44K sticker price, he'll sell it to you for 33K - which means you could probably get it for 30. I assume that's a loaded V6 model, as the V8 is more. Must be clearing out inventory ahead of the new model.
