Replying to: graphicguy (Nov 29, 2008 8:28 am) I do mind calling customers who bought 6 months or a year ago, who most likley won't be looking for another car for a few years. I'm sure most do mind as well.

Replying to: boomchek (Nov 29, 2008 9:17 am) That would kind of creep me out if my salesman called me 6 months after a new car purchase to ask if I wanted to trade it in. I would immediately start thinking "Why is he doing this? What's wrong with the car I just bought? What aren't they telling me?". I sure wouldn't be rushing right over to his store. My salesman offered me a $100 payment for referrals. What's that called, a bird dog? Do any of you guys try that one? Does it work? For me, if I love my car I'll tell everyone without getting paid. If I hate it, it would take more than $100 for me to sell out my friends. I'm just funny that way,

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Nov 29, 2008 11:03 am) I had a good streak from a customer who DIDN'T buy. He sent me his buddy who bought, who in turn sent his buddy, who in turn sent another friend. That's 3 referral originating from a non buyer. Sometimes even the non buyers can bring in lots of business if you treat them right. |

Replying to: rogeliov (Nov 29, 2008 12:40 pm) Yes I have said it before...  it was 55% body language, 43% tone of voice, and 10% the words we use? Those would be incorrect numbers... so no I didn't say those number  Gp

Replying to: greanpea68 (Nov 29, 2008 1:35 pm) I thought, especially during these tough times, that you were the type who would give more than 100%. It sounds like you've gone into the 'alejandrom' mode of auto sales. Want to reconsider? jmonroe |
