When the life she'd planned took an unexpected turn, Kathleen Perry had to find her footing again. The quiet retirement she and her husband had imagined was gone when he passed away — so she reached back to something she'd set aside long ago: a dream to wander. She set her sights on three places — Prudhoe Bay, Ushuaia, and Nordkapp — three dots on the map. And to connect those dots, she would ride a motorcycle.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Joe Marconi, former shop owner, Elite Worldwide coach, is defining the challenge in today's automotive aftermarket: the need for specialization. The End of the Generalist Era - Modern vehicles are too complex for the “all makes, all models, all repairs” approach. Marconi shared that when he tried doing everything—from transmission rebuilds to diagnostics—profitability disappeared. The time, training, and tooling required simply didn't make sense. Specialization: The Smarter Path Forward - Like medicine's cardiologists and neurologists, automotive professionals must focus their expertise. Specialization boosts productivity, profit, and performance while creating better outcomes for customers. Redefining Professionalism and Language - Replace “mechanic” or “tech” with “technologist” or “specialist.” - Use precise titles like “calibration specialist” to build client confidence. - Adopt “Essential Skilled Occupation (ESO)” to better reflect the professionalism of today's technicians. Building Career Paths and Attracting Talent - Specialization creates clear career pathways and helps combat the technician shortage, offering young people a profitable, purpose-driven alternative to a four-year degree. Listeners can explore Carm's evolving document, The Rise of the Specialist—now in its 23rd version—online. https://remarkableresults.biz/rise Joe Marconi, Executive Council Member, Elite Worldwide. Auto Shop Owner.

In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, host LA Williams sits down with Brandon Anderson, Vice President at Dealer Synergy and Founder of Anderson Athletic Academy, to discuss the parallels between high-level sports and success in automotive sales!  “To me, the mindset has to be, how can I be better immediately, not six months from now.” – Brandon Anderson They delve into how principles such as discipline, consistency, and effective coaching transcend industries, offering insights into achieving greatness regardless of one's field. Brandon shares his experiences and the mindset required to excel, drawing comparisons between preparing athletes for the NFL and coaching salespeople to reach their full potential. “Preparation always meets opportunity, right? So when you're prepared, you're ready to cash in on the opportunity.” – Brandon Anderson The discussion emphasizes the importance of viewing sales as a professional sport, requiring the same dedication, preparation, and competitive spirit. Keywords like "high-level performance," "sales coaching," and "competitive mindset" underscore the techniques and strategies necessary to elevate sales effectiveness! Brandon illustrates how having discipline and an unwavering drive can turn ordinary efforts into extraordinary achievements, whether on the playing field or the sales floor. The episode concludes with advice for sales managers on transforming their teams through accountability and effective coaching, urging them to embrace a culture of continuous improvement.   Key Takeaways: ✅Discipline and Consistency: Brandon emphasizes the role of preparation and consistent effort in achieving success, whether in sports or sales. ✅Competitive Mindset: Embracing competition and striving for better results is crucial in any field. ✅Importance of Fundamentals: Mastering basics are essential before advancing to more sophisticated techniques in sales or sports. ✅Coaching and Accountability: The significance of having a strong coach to guide, motivate, and hold teams accountable is highlighted. ✅Continual Improvement: The episode promotes a culture of learning and adapting through regular review and analysis of performance.   About Brandon Anderson Brandon Anderson is an exceptional individual known for his multifaceted background in athletics and business coaching. As an All-American defensive back, Brandon has thrived in competitive sports, later transitioning into coaching, where he focused initially on training athletes for the NFL through his establishment, Anderson Athletic Academy. Today, he serves as a performance coach at Dealer Synergy, translating his deep insights from the athletic world into actionable coaching strategies for sales teams. Brandon is recognized for his unique ability to cultivate both individual and team potential, leveraging his expertise to spearhead transformation within the automotive sales industry!   Bridging the Gap Between Athletic Mindsets and Car Sales Success Key Takeaways Repetition and Consistency for Mastery: Just like athletes practice relentless repetition, sales professionals must adopt the same discipline for success. Mindset Overcomes Barriers: A competitive and resilient mindset can transcend different fields, motivating continuous improvement regardless of past performance. The Importance of the Hidden Grind: Private preparation—away from direct supervision—fuels public performance, driving success both in sports and sales.   Repetition: The Athlete's Secret to Sales Mastery Repetition and consistency underpin the journey to excellence in any field, be it athletics or car sales. Athletes dedicate countless hours to perfecting their craft through unwavering repetition, an approach directly applicable in other sectors. As Brandon Anderson emphasized, "Greatness is consistency… It's boring because you got to do the same thing over and over." The same principle applies to sales professionals, where mastery is achieved through consistent practice and process adherence. Understanding the necessity of repetition allows salespeople to bridge the gap between ordinary performance and extraordinary success. Anderson notes, "Practice doesn't make perfect because we always can be better, but it makes permanent." While this might seem mundane, enduring repetition integrates skills and processes into a salesperson's daily routine, driving efficiency and expertise. This disciplined approach fosters a deep understanding of sales tactics, ultimately leading to improved conversion rates and career advancement. Cultivating a Competitive Mindset Across Industries A central theme of the discussion was the transformative power of a competitive mindset in achieving success, regardless of the field. LA Williams highlighted, "If salespeople… looked at themselves as an athlete, what are some of the changes you think folks… would change for people?" The answer lies in adopting the athlete's tenacity and drive to excel beyond the status quo, as Anderson underscores with, "Do you want to be the best or you just want to be here?" This mindset shift involves a relentless pursuit of excellence and the willingness to push past current limits. Whether managing a challenging sales month or underperforming in a game, the key is bouncing back stronger and more determined. As Anderson states, "In winners, that doesn't exist because if you had a bad half, you're ready for the second half." A competitive outlook encourages continuous self-improvement and the resilience needed to tackle setbacks head-on, converting challenges into opportunities for growth. The Hidden Grind: Private Preparation Drives Public Performance Behind every public performance is a wealth of private dedication and unseen effort. Williams and Anderson highlight the importance of this "hidden grind"—the silent, tireless work away from the spotlight that truly fuels success. Anderson articulates, "The private grind is more important… that private grind, you're watching film, you're trying to see tendencies, you're trying to see what's going on." This preparation is essential for both athletes and salespeople, where those extra hours of work cultivate confidence and capability. Sales professionals who engage in this hidden grind—a combination of practice, strategy review, and personal growth—equip themselves to overcome challenges and excel under pressure. In the dealership context, this might involve reviewing sales calls to identify improvements, studying trends to refine pitches, or dedicating time to personal development. As Williams notes, "Rehearse in private so that you can perform in public," reinforcing how this critical preparation distinguishes high achievers from their peers. Viewing these insights together, it's evident that the synergy between an athlete's mindset and a sales professional's success creates a powerful blueprint for personal and professional growth. Emphasizing repetition, fostering a competitive mindset, and committing to private preparation offers sales professionals a holistic framework for achieving excellence. By harnessing these principles, individuals can transcend perceived limitations, achieving results that redefine their career trajectories and set new benchmarks for success. The journey to greatness—whether on the field or the sales floor—demands dedication, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of improvement.   Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Mastermind Group in the Automotive Industry with over 29,000 members worldwide.

Near the end of a month-long motorcycle ride through Spain, Mark and Lisa Schubert set out for what should've been an easy final day through the Pyrenees. But as they climbed higher, a mild forecast unravelled into chaos — winds strong enough to stop their motorcycle mid-corner, trees down, and power lines snapping. What follows isn't a story about recklessness or bravado, but about how easily ordinary choices and a little fixation can lead riders into real danger. It's about the thin line between pressing on and pulling back — and the single moment that changed everything.

The STUNT DOUBLE is on the road. Of course, no GEARZ project is truly completed without an accompanying guitar. So, Stacey has Anthony Sims from LUCKY DOG GUITARS in the shop to discuss the custom built six string. Anthony talks about how his love for music and playing live led to him and a group of buddies opening up a dance hall at 18 years old, how that led to building his first custom guitar and opening his small three-man shop in East Tennessee, and of course his two current automotive projects - a '68 Charger and an original DeLorean that he inherited from his grandfather who purchased TWO of them just before John Delorean's arrest.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode This episode explores how the automotive industry can attract and retain skilled professionals by transforming both its language and its workplace culture. The words we use shape public perception, influence recruiting, and build long-term respect for the profession. Beyond language, the discussion dives into the physical and cultural environment of repair shops. Topics include maintaining clean, professional spaces that foster pride, offering work-life balance to prevent burnout, and ensuring fair pay progression with clear career paths.

With over 30 years of experience in TV, Jamie worked as a television host for major shows on networks such as HGTV and TLC, including "American Home" and "Designing Spaces." He also launched his own classic car TV show, "Tail Fins and Chrome," and has depth in performing arts with stand-up comedy experience in LA. Currently, Jamie is a car salesman at Reed's Nissan near Orlando, Florida. His versatile background in communication and entertainment enriches his interactions and strategies in the automotive industry.   Mastering Auto Sales: Communication, Strategy, and Service Drive Success Key Takeaways: Effective communication is fundamental to success in automotive sales, requiring a blend of personality, listening, and adaptability. Viewing car sales as an entrepreneurial venture can significantly boost success rates among car salespeople. The often-overlooked service drive represents a goldmine of potential car sales, particularly through strategic customer interactions. In the realm of automotive sales, the journey from modest beginnings to achieving the title of a "Millionaire Car Salesman" requires more than just selling cars—it demands mastering the art of communication, cultivating entrepreneurial spirit, and harnessing untapped dealer resources. With insights shared in the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast, hosted by Sean V. Bradley, we can dissect the strategic mindset and actions that can transform traditional sales approaches into monumental career success. Below, we'll explore the critical facets that underpin this transformation, drawing from the experiences of seasoned professionals in the industry. The Power of Communication in Automotive Sales In any industry, the ability to communicate effectively is an invaluable tool. In automotive sales, it's not just about talking—it's about creating an engaging dialogue that fosters trust and understanding between salesperson and customer. As articulated by Jamie Jacobs, a seasoned automotive professional, communication is key to connecting with potential clients: “Listen, you can't sell somebody something unless you know what they want.” The value of communication extends beyond sheer verbal interaction; it involves reading the customer's needs, aspirations, and reservations. Jacobs emphasizes the importance of being a "listener," pointing out that selling is not about bombarding prospects with information but rather uncovering their needs through thoughtful questions and active engagement. This approach aligns with Dr. Covey's principle from the "7 Habits of Highly Effective People"—seeking first to understand, then to be understood. To thrive in this sector, one must hone their communication skills as if practicing a craft, ensuring every interaction leaves a lasting impression on clients. Moreover, mastering communication in sales settings isn't just about words. It's also about utilizing tools that enhance messages, such as analogies, stories, and humor. Jacobs's diverse background in television and stand-up comedy has equipped him with a unique storytelling ability, enabling him to weave narratives that resonate with customers on a personal level. This strategy not only aids in retention but strengthens the relationship between the salesperson and customer. Embracing an Entrepreneurial Mindset Many sales professionals mistakenly view automotive sales as merely a job. As Sean V. Bradley highlights, the path to true success in car sales lies in treating it as an entrepreneurial venture. “The strategy that works is treating car sales like it's your own business. Car sales is like owning your own business,” Bradley reiterates. This mindset empowers salespeople to innovate, strategize, and personalize their approaches to selling. To achieve financial independence, key performers like Cody Carter exemplify the benefits of seeing oneself as the owner of their sales destiny. With a structured business plan, Carter operates not as an employee but akin to a dealer principal, handling marketing, personal branding, financial planning, and even employing staff. This proactive stance allows Carter to transcend traditional sales barriers, leveraging tools like CRM systems and community outreach to expand his network and client base. The entrepreneurial approach prescribed by Bradley entails more than just product knowledge or sales tactics; it's about creating a business blueprint that encompasses everything from customer service strategy to personal marketing campaigns. Sales professionals can accelerate their growth trajectory by adopting this posture, investing in self-development, and broadening their business savvy. Unlocking the Potential of Service Drive Sales An often underestimated avenue for generating sales is the dealership service drive. Jamie Jacobs, self-proclaimed "service lounge lizard," harnesses this rarely tapped resource to cultivate leads and close deals. The service department, bustling with customers who are already brand-aligned, becomes a fertile ground for nurturing potential sales opportunities. Jacobs shares his strategic process: arriving early, engaging customers with genuine curiosity, and turning anticipated repair costs into an opening for new vehicle sales. "Hey, I just talked to service, your service advisor, and you're looking at almost, probably $1,800 maybe to fix everything. I said, are you interested in perhaps trading it in with us?" Jacobs articulates this pivot approach, positioning a new car purchase as a cost-effective alternative to costly repairs. The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) corroborates the efficacy of this method, revealing that customers who frequent service departments are significantly more likely to purchase vehicles from that dealership. Jacobs's initiative is illustrative of how proactive interaction within the service drive can transform casual conversations into lucrative sales. For salespeople, recognizing the potential of service-ups is crucial; it signifies a shift from passive order-taking to active relationship-building. The success witnessed in the service department underscores a broader industry trend: the bold thrive, while the complacent stagnate. By recognizing the service drive as a pipeline for potential deals, dealerships can realize enhanced customer loyalty and increased profit margins through targeted engagement and strategic upselling. Overall, the journey to mastering automotive sales demands more than conventional tactics—it's a fusion of the art of communication, entrepreneurial spirit, and strategic resourcefulness. This multilayered approach not only deepens customer connections but cements a salesperson's reputation and success within the industry. By channeling the lessons shared by Jamie Jacobs and Sean V. Bradley, sales personnel can navigate the transformative path toward becoming true leaders in the automotive sales sector.   Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Mastermind Group in the Automotive Industry with over 29,000 members worldwide.

Unser heutiger Gast studierte Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen mit Schwerpunkt Informatik und Operations Research an der Technischen Hochschule in Karlsruhe, einer der klassischen Ausbildungswege für analytisch denkende Führungspersönlichkeiten. Früh zog es ihn in die Unternehmensberatung: Zunächst in Deutschland, später ins Silicon Valley, wo er strategische Projekte in der Schnittstelle zwischen Technologie und Organisation begleitete. Nach seiner Rückkehr sammelte er umfassende operative Erfahrung in einem Logistikdienstleistungskonzern, wo er unter anderem als Mitglied der Geschäftsleitung tätig war, mit Verantwortung für Marketing, Kommunikation und die strategische Entwicklung der Automotive- und Maschinenbau-Sparte. Doch dann kam der Bruch mit dem klassischen Karriereweg und ein unternehmerischer Neustart: Getrieben von dem Wunsch, Personalberatung neu zu denken, gründete er 2017 die Headgate GmbH. Heute berät er Familienunternehmen bei der Besetzung von Führungspositionen, unterstützt Gesellschafter bei Nachfolgefragen und begleitet den Aufbau moderner Beiratsstrukturen. Was ihn dabei besonders auszeichnet: ein tiefes Verständnis für Unternehmenskultur, persönliche Integrität und die besondere Dynamik inhabergeführter Firmen. Seit über acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In mehr als 500 Gesprächen mit über 600 Persönlichkeiten haben wir darüber gesprochen, was sich verändert hat – und was sich noch verändern muss. Wie gelingt es Personalberatern, in Zeiten von generativer KI und wachsendem Fachkräftemangel nicht nur Besetzungen, sondern wirklich passende Matches zu ermöglichen? Welche Rolle spielen Unternehmenskultur, Werte und Familienstrukturen bei der Auswahl von Führungskräften – und wie wird man diesen Faktoren in der Suche überhaupt gerecht? Und was braucht es, damit Personalberatung nicht als Transaktion, sondern als echter Sparringsprozess verstanden wird – für Menschen, die Organisationen langfristig prägen sollen? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.
