Podcasts about auto sales

On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz discuss the tragic and senseless murders of teenagers Frank and Charles Sherman and their friend Jeremy Bullock. The young men, plus two more friends, were working on their respective cars in Wilson's Auto Sales garage on the evening of April 13th, 1993 in Foster, Rhode Island. It was around midnight when suddenly a gunman came in and shot three of the teens before fleeing the scene. The gunman was quickly identified as 25-year-old Robert Sabetta Jr., an officer of the Foster Police Department, who had recently been suspended without pay due to an assault he committed on Frank Sherman, the youngest victim.

In the latest episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, hosts Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams explore the transformative role of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems in the automotive industry alongside Greg Becker, Chief Product Officer at NCC / ProMax.  "CRM fatigue is running rampant in the industry, but there's a smarter way to sell cars." With an authentic background in both dealership management and technology, Greg offers practical insights into leveraging CRM tools to enhance customer engagement and maximize dealership profitability. This episode is particularly pertinent given the current concerns within the industry regarding tariffs and their potential impact on pricing, inventory, and dealership operations. “You can't put a price tag on experience... CRM is the centralized hub of the repository where the data is." The conversation delves deep into how dealerships can utilize CRM systems like NCC Promax Complete CRM to streamline operations and cut through the clutter of outdated practices. Highlighting the impact of tariffs, Greg discusses proactive strategies dealerships can adopt, such as focusing on inventory acquisition and leveraging service department interactions.  "The beautiful part about this is most of the customers have done 50% of the work; they're already scheduled." With an eye on future-proofing dealership operations through AI advancements and tailored CRM solutions, this episode equips listeners with actionable strategies to navigate and thrive amidst industry challenges.   Key Takeaways ✅ CRM as Central Hub: Greg emphasizes CRM's role as a central hub for managing ongoing customer relationships from sales to service. ✅ Service Department Focus: Encourage dealerships to utilize their service departments as a key asset in generating leads and acquiring inventory. ✅ AI Integration: The potential of AI, including video messaging and advanced data analytics, is highlighted as a tool to enhance dealership efficiency. ✅ Actionable Insights: Greg provides detailed strategies for tapping into existing dealership data to create tailored, impactful customer campaigns. ✅ Resilience in the Face of Tariffs: Despite economic uncertainties, adopting a proactive, data-driven approach can help dealerships maintain profitability.   About Greg Becker Greg Becker is the Chief Product Officer at NCC / ProMax, where he leads the design and innovation of dealership software solutions. With a background in managing BDCs and working in automotive retail since 2000, Greg's expertise lies in dealership operations and CRM technology. His journey from retail experience to becoming a tech leader in the automotive space makes him a valuable voice in discussions about dealership software and strategy!   The Future of Automotive CRM: Navigating Tariffs and Maximizing Customer Relationships Key Takeaways CRM Customization is Crucial: Automotive dealerships must invest in their CRM systems, utilizing insights from seasoned professionals like Greg Becker to truly capitalize on their customer database and streamline operations. Adapting to Tariff Induced Changes: With impending tariffs, dealerships need proactive strategies to adapt and thrive, including leveraging CRM tools for better financial foresight and customer relations. Utilizing AI and Technological Innovations: The automotive industry can benefit significantly from integrating advanced AI solutions within their CRMs, improving lead management and customer engagement.   Navigating Tariffs and Their Impact on the Automotive Industry Businesses across the globe are buzzing with concerns over tariffs and their potential repercussions. As Sean V. Bradley insightfully points out, "Fear and uncertainty breeds chaos… People are consuming fear." The automotive industry is no exception, facing the dual challenges of increasing vehicle prices and an anxious consumer base. The key to overcoming these hurdles lies in adapting existing practices and embracing change. The first step is acknowledging that tariffs may indeed lead to skyrocketed costs of vehicles and parts, affecting both import and floor plan expenses. Sean accurately assesses that fear-induced actions, akin to Florida's hurricane preparations or the pandemic's toilet paper rush, could lead to unnecessary chaos. Instead, dealerships should direct their focus towards controllable elements such as refining sales strategies and maximizing their existing assets. Greg Becker, an industry veteran, highlights the industry's resilience and adaptability. "The automotive industry is one of the most resilient… it's here," he states, underlining the importance of proactive strategies. By revisiting existing client interactions and utilizing CRM systems effectively, dealerships can tap into previously missed opportunities. Revisiting leads from the previous week could uncover potential sales amidst the tariff turmoil, ensuring a steady customer flow. Focus should also be redirected to used cars with vehicle acquisition strategies and engaging with past clients through innovative campaigns.   CRM Customization: A Game-Changer for Dealerships In an ever-evolving market landscape, customizing CRM systems akin to NCC's Complete CRM can be a pivotal differentiator. With years of hands-on experience in the automotive industry, Greg Becker underscores the importance of a customized CRM solution that resonates with the dealership's culture. "We create solutions from a different perspective… a big difference between providing technology solutions and people solutions," Greg articulates. By tailoring CRM settings to replicate a dealership's internal culture and operations, automotive enterprises can enhance user adoption and efficiency. This encompasses everything from allowing personalization in system navigation to meaningful data segmentation strategies. Promax, spearheaded by Greg, shines as an exemplar by offering dashboards tailor-made for diverse roles, streamlining task management and bolstering productivity. This bespoke approach in CRM enables users to land on fully customized environments conducive to their daily operations, eliminating friction and optimizing work processes. Greg aptly notes, "If they can't get to it quick, they're going to bow out," emphasizing the crucial role of ease and efficiency. Such an integrated, user-friendly approach not only boosts individual productivity but ultimately amplifies the dealership's overall operational efficacy.   Embracing Artificial Intelligence for Enhanced Lead Management Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, and within the automotive sector, its integration within CRM systems holds immense promise. AI-driven data mining and predictive analytics offer dealerships the power to refine their lead management actions, drawing insights from CRM data seamlessly. As Greg shares, "We leverage AI… from a recommendation perspective," signifying the role of intelligence in refining dealership offerings. Further blending AI with CRM, as suggested by Sean, opens the possibilities for revolutionizing customer communication through automated video messages. These AI-generated communications can play a pivotal role in promotional strategies and maintaining customer retention amid the tariff blues. By adopting advanced AI solutions that align cohesively with CRM frameworks, dealerships can bolster customer interaction and streamline conversions. Moreover, such AI tools provide laser-sharp focus in understanding customer temperament and preferences, paving the way to more personalized, successful negotiations that benefit both dealerships and customers. As dealerships explore and invest in these intelligent solutions, they step towards a future that is not only efficient but also customer-centric.   Maximizing Customer Relationships in Uncertain Times A dealership's current customer database holds incredible potential. In a world filled with uncertainty, whether due to tariffs or economic shifts, nurturing these relationships can provide a valuable buffer. As Greg Becker elucidates, "An average CRM database has 10,000 customers… that's a $10 million investment." Dealers should capitalize on this investment, targeting tailored, data-driven campaigns for existing clientele that could lead to profitable returns. To mine this gold, dealerships must look beyond the notion of direct sales investment, placing substantial effort into forging and sustaining long-term customer relationships. By aligning marketing campaigns through CRM insights directly with customer proclivities, dealerships will not only reinforce current relationships but also foster opportunities for referrals and repeat business. Investing in CRM customization and AI solutions ensures a flexible framework that adapts to changing market dynamics and transcends anticipated challenges. The implementation of efficient data segmentation, through integrated AI analysis, allows dealerships to revitalize engagement strategies and maintain consumer trust and loyalty during pressing times. In these challenging times for the automotive sector, industry professionals like Greg Becker and Sean V. Bradley provide valuable insights into utilizing customer relationship management systems to navigate the upheavals convincingly. By integrating technological innovation, fostering existing relationships, and understanding market dynamics, dealerships can endure and thrive amidst any industry hurdles, truly cementing their position in the future battleground of automotive sales.       Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

In the heart of Front Royal, G&M Auto Sales stands as a testament to the durability and success of family-owned businesses. As the dealership commemorates its 70th anniversary, owners Gary and Tammy Bunch joined Valley Today host Janet Michael and Front Royal/Warren County Chamber of Commerce President, Niki Foster to share the story of their storied legacy. From its humble beginnings as a small car lot started by Gary's father after he left the Navy, G&M Auto Sales has grown exponentially. Gary's father, driven by a passion for cars and people, laid the foundation with a simple yet potent motto: 'Sell a good car or truck at a fair price and stand behind it.' This guiding principle has remained the cornerstone of the business for generations. The dealership has greatly expanded since its inception, with four generations of the Bunch family contributing to its growth. Tammy recalls how their sons came into the business straight out of high school, starting from detailing cars to eventually overseeing the service department and sales. This deep family involvement has strengthened their ties to the local community. G&M Auto Sales is known for supporting various local sports teams and nonprofits, embodying a commitment to community service. 'We might not be the biggest contributor, but we try not to turn anyone down,' Tammy shared, emphasizing their commitment to helping the community as a whole. They are the presenting sponsor for this year's Wine & Craft Festival, with their logo featured on wine glasses, tickets, and posters. This sponsorship underscores their ongoing commitment to supporting local events and engaging with the community. Despite its rich history, G&M Auto Sales has embraced change and innovation. With the next generation at the helm, the dealership has stepped into the digital age, optimizing their operations with modern technology and social media. 'My sons have really taken to the technical side, optimizing our advertising and online presence,' Gary noted. This adaptability has ensured that while they stay rooted in their traditional values, they are also ready to meet the needs of modern consumers. An unwavering dedication to customer service is another hallmark of G&M Auto Sales. Whether it's through their transparent service department or their willingness to go the extra mile – literally – to deliver vehicles to their fleet clients, the Bunch family prioritizes customer satisfaction above all. 'If you got a problem, I got a problem,' Gary emphasizes, highlighting their comprehensive warranties and commitment to after-sale service. As G&M Auto Sales celebrates 70 years, the Bunch family remains a beacon of reliability and community spirit in Front Royal. With an unwavering commitment to quality and customer service and a willingness to evolve with the times, they honor the legacy of Gary's father and pave the way for future generations. Whether you're in need of a car or just a testament to the strength of family and community, G&M Auto Sales stands ready to serve for many more years to come.

Auto lenders are keeping an eye on loan production, credit performance and vehicle prices as tariffs loom. Subprime lender Credit Acceptance Corp.'s originations ticked up 0.3% year over year in the fourth quarter to 78,911 loan assignments as the financier grew its number of active dealers.  Negative equity and rising delinquencies continue to be a concern for auto lenders as consumers navigate changing vehicle values and inflationary pressures.  Meanwhile, looming tariffs against Canada and Mexico are expected to drive car prices higher, likely exacerbating dealers' challenges related to supply, profit margins and sales. In this episode of “Weekly Wrap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris and associate editors Ashley Savage and James Van Bramer discuss nationwide trends affecting the automotive industry and key updates for the week ended Jan. 31. 

Many of you know this but I am privileged to work alongside so many high performing dealerships and their leadership. Most top 20 in the country for their brands. I use my podcast to share what I learn, teach and implement with the end game - building a championship team.  In this episode, we dive into the critical role General Managers (GMs) play as the "head coaches" of their dealerships, driving performance through daily coaching of their management teams. Achieving championship-level results—rising above all stores in the region or country—is no small feat. It requires a relentless focus on developing managers into high-performing coaches who can guide their teams to win every day. We explore how top-performing GMs pull their managers in, just like a head coach, to model effective coaching strategies. From improving team execution with tools like guest sheets and CRMs to perfecting follow-up texts, coaching managers daily is a game-changer. You'll also hear real-life tactics, like how one GM taught his Service Director to implement a "stamp" system for declined work, bringing more awareness to the shop and protecting their people. It's all about leading by example, fostering collaboration, and helping managers pass those skills on to their teams. We'll also cover the importance of private one-on-one coaching over public scolding, creating a culture of learning, and ensuring team members feel supported, motivated, and empowered to perform. If you're a GM or dealership leader, this episode gives you actionable strategies to elevate your managers, instill confidence in your teams, and drive better results. Coaching doesn't stop at performance talks—it's about getting involved, listening, and leading by example in every aspect of the business.

Jan. 18, 2025 | Weekend Drive: The meaning and significance of 16 million U.S. auto sales by Automotive News

Wildfires impacting large areas of California are contributing to higher auto insurance costs in the state and more deferral offerings from lenders for affected borrowers.  The annual cost of full-coverage car insurance in California rose 47.8% year over year in December to $2,575, compare with the average cost across the U.S. of $2,313. The current fires started Jan. 7.  Meanwhile, lenders' funding activity is off to a strong start in 2025 with several issuing asset-backed securitization (ABS) deals. Lendbuzz issued its first auto ABS deal of the year, joining a wave of transactions during the first two weeks.  Southern Auto Finance Co. also secured a $100 million warehouse facility with Deutsche Bank and extended its facility with Capital One.  Auto sales were strong in the fourth quarter of 2024 across the major manufacturers, and EV sales are poised to pick up in the first quarter of 2025 ahead of the presidential administration change.  In this episode of “Weekly Wrap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris and associate editors Ashley Savage and James Van Bramer discuss the top stories and trends impacting the automotive industry for the week ended Jan. 10. 

For years, the auto industry has been hyping the transition to electric vehicles with optimistic sales forecasts for electric models and huge growth projections. Investors pumped up valuations for automakers, based on their visions for an electric future. Now the hype is dwindling, and companies are again cheering consumer choice. Automakers from Ford Motor and General Motors to Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and Jaguar are scaling back or delaying their electric vehicle plans. Tesla's annual vehicle deliveries declined for the first time in more than a decade during a period when overall car sales are up. Have automakers overinvested in EVs and are EVs killing the car industry?

Innovative Solutions in Car Transport: Discussing the advantages of leveraging technology for vehicle transportation, creating transparency and improving efficiency for dealerships.     Creating a Memorable Customer Experience in Automotive Sales In today's competitive world, the automotive industry demands more than just salesmanship—it requires a robust focus on delivering exceptional customer experiences. Mary Bartlett's illustrious career trajectory in the car business underscores the critical importance of treating customers with care and respect. As Mary aptly puts it, "People don't buy cars; they buy experiences." Mary's insight delves deep into the art of selling cars. She recounts her early experience where she sold a car without being a salesperson, simply by being honest and transparent. "I just told them, I'm not a salesperson…I think immediately they were like, you're not a car salesman," she recalls. This genuine approach broke down customer barriers instantly. Similarly, fostering this honesty and warmth in dealership practices can engender customer loyalty and repeat business. Moreover, Mary emphasizes the need to adapt to modern customers who demand convenience and a seamless buying experience. "When you look at the most successful companies in the world, Amazon…they make it convenient," she notes, suggesting that the same principle applies to car dealerships. By prioritizing customer convenience and engagement, dealerships can set themselves apart in a crowded market.   Servant Leadership: A New Paradigm in Dealership Management Servant leadership stands out as a transformative force within the automotive industry. Mary Bartlett's career ascent from a car salesperson to the Vice President of Business Development for Motley is a testament to the power of this leadership style. "I've always been a manager that serves her team," she affirms, explaining her methodology of leading by example. This hands-on approach was epitomized during her tenure as a General Manager when she cleaned a bathroom herself to demonstrate her commitment to workplace cleanliness and her team's morale. "I think you have to show people that you want them to win at all costs," Mary asserts. Such acts of service and humility foster a positive work environment and inspire employees to put in their best efforts. Mary's narrative aligns with broader trends in organizational leadership where empathy, support, and shared goals drive the team forward. By investing time in understanding and addressing the needs of their staff, managers can enhance job satisfaction and performance. "When people don't feel heard…what does that satisfaction look like?" she questions, underscoring the necessity of effective communication and active listening in leadership roles. Innovative Solutions in Car Transport: A New Frontier The realm of vehicle transportation often lingers in the background of dealership operations, but it holds crucial importance. This is where Mary Bartlett's current role with Montway Auto Transport becomes pivotal. She highlights the advantages of leveraging technology to streamline this process. "Dealers are some of the smartest people…but transportation is kind of in the back of their mind," she observes, introducing the Montway Automated Portal (MAP) as a game-changer. MAP offers dealerships real-time quotes for vehicle transport, ensuring transparency and consistency. This innovative tool allows users to track vehicles from start to finish and maintain detailed records, resolving many logistical headaches. "Knowing what you're going to pay in the transport before you even bid on that car is very helpful," Mary explains, emphasizing how this knowledge aids in making profitable buying decisions. Furthermore, Montway's commitment to customer service is exemplified by their proactive problem-solving approach. Mary recounts a scenario where they arranged a Thanksgiving vehicle delivery to prevent potential damage to a dealership's reputation. "It cost us some money…but it was the right thing to do," she remarks, showcasing Montway's dedication to their dealer partners. Amplifying Success Through Continuous Learning and Development Mary Bartlett's impressive career path is underpinned by her relentless pursuit of self-improvement and learning. The importance of continuous education and being proactive in gaining knowledge come through strongly in her narrative. "I'm consistently reading," she states, pointing to books like "Unreasonable Hospitality" as sources of valuable insights. The practice of dedicating time each day to activities that push one out of their comfort zone can significantly enhance leadership and personal growth. "Take 20 minutes a day doing something that makes you uncomfortable," Mary advises, underscoring the value of challenging oneself. Whether through reading industry-specific literature, engaging with educational content on platforms like LinkedIn Learning, or participating in professional conferences, the pursuit of knowledge remains a cornerstone of professional excellence. Moreover, fostering a culture of openness and curiosity is vital. Mary's method of asking thought-provoking questions, such as "What keeps you up at night?" helps unearth deeper insights and solutions that might not be immediately evident. This reflective approach not only nurtures personal development but also strengthens organizational strategies and operations. Mary Bartlett's dynamic insights present a comprehensive framework for thriving in the automotive industry. Focusing on customer experience, embracing servant leadership, utilizing innovative transportation solutions, and committing to continuous learning form the cornerstone of transformational success. As dealerships and industry professionals internalize these principles, they pave the way for a prosperous and resilient future in automotive sales and management.

Today we have another in person episode for you. This is someone I'm really excited about interviewing today. We have been connected for almost 4 years now, going back to the pandemic. When I was trying to go from side hustle to full-time entrepreneur, he was one of the local business owners I connected with on Facebook and interviewed to help promote local businesses when everything shut down.Since then, we have been supporting each other along the way. He has attended both of my events I've thrown, both back in 2021 and just last week. He's currently a 1-1 personal branding client of mine with BOA, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. There's no way that knows more about networking to grow your business and he's the best in the auto repair business. My guest today is David Marks. He is the Owner of Quality Auto Repair Tire & Auto Sales here in St. Louis, located close by in Maryland Heights. David's Bio:My entrepreneurial story starts, Sep 2008 I bought a "Garage With A House In The Front Yard". In Dec 2009 I started working part-time (evenings/weekends) within year a and half (May 2011) What started with ZERO customers I turned into a full time business! 2013, I added Used Auto Sales, to my portfolio. I found people liked acquiring used vehicles from a Trusted Automotive Technician. 2016, I got involved with SCORE & Small Business Development Center, to learn how to be a business owner. (ANYONE CAN BE A BACKYARD MECHANIC, NOT EVERYONE CAN BE A BUSINESS OWNER). 2018, I added Used Car Detective, I found a need that consumers wanted to have Potential Used Vehicles inspected prior to being purchased. March 2019 I expanded my businesses to Maryland Heights with a 3 Bay Repair Facility, Full Service. This expansion will allow me to expand on my other 2 business Quality Auto Sales & Used Car Detective. The primary business will be Quality Auto Repair And Tire. To streamline my expansion, I formed a Management Company DSM Auto Family, LLC to oversee the day-day operations and still allow each of its 3 Business the ability to operate independently My business have evolved based on the principle of "People Won't Work For You And/Or Do Business With You If They Don't Feel Appreciated" We do that by providing "Trusted Services”Connect with David:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davidscottmarks LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidsmarks/ Business Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/qualityautorepairandtireautosales Website: https://www.qualityautorepairtireautosales.com/
