It's time to celebrate our nation's independence. But are we in a renaissance of military spectacular-ness? The Boss seems to think so. Because our recent non-congress approved exercise in Iran would have you to believe that all the Middle East's issues were solved in just a day or two. It's worth of giving the Boss a Nobel Peace Prize, right? National intelligence saying otherwise have something different to say. But Lewis is passing the holiday in upstate New York at the Chautauqua Institute where he has curated a week of comedy discussions, a couple of readings of his play The Deal, A live Rant is Due and a performance by Roy Wood Jr. This week we deliver only one rant because it's worth highlighting, because as we celebrate our country, we want to hear from our military.

He is a former executive with BombBomb, and currently holds a senior executive role at Gan AI, an innovative company leading the charge in generative artificial intelligence. The Future of Automotive Sales: Embracing The Generative AI Revolution Key Takeaways: Generative AI as a Game Changer: Video isn't just the future; it's the standard for engaging the modern car buyer with AI-driven personalized video communications. Automation and Personalization Synergy: Combining AI with CRM systems ensures personalized, consistent follow-ups, hitting the sweet spot of automation and human touch. Unparalleled Competitive Edge: Embracing Generative AI technology in a dealership's arsenal is pivotal in creating an unfair competitive advantage, significantly increasing customer engagement and sales volumes. The automotive industry isn't just turning a corner with technological innovations; it's racing down a highway of revolutionary change. At the forefront of this transformation is Generative AI, a breakthrough poised to redefine how dealerships engage with customers. As highlighted in the lively discussion from the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast, Ted Horton of GAN AI and Sean V. Bradley unveil the profound impact of AI-driven video content on dealership operations, painting a future where AI doesn't replace human effort— it amplifies it. In this comprehensive exploration, we dive deep into how Generative AI is reshaping the automotive sales landscape, emphasizing its strategic integration for maximized value and efficiency. Generative AI: Reimagining Customer Engagement In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, video content is no longer an option but an imperative. "The ability to record these avatars and have them automatically generated real time within seconds…accelerates deal velocity," Ted Horton emphasizes, illustrating the profound capabilities of Generative AI in dealership processes. By leveraging AI to create personalized, dynamic videos instantaneously, dealerships meet customers' growing expectations for immediacy and personalization, creating stronger connections and more profound engagement. Automated AI videos can now incorporate customer-specific data—like name, vehicle type, and more—into tailored communications. The result is not only an uplift in sales but a seismic shift in how relationships are formed and nurtured digitally. The phrase "Video isn't the future. It's the present" underscores the urgency of adopting such technologies. With statistics showing that video content dramatically increases customer engagement and conversion rates, it's evident that AI's role in crafting these interactions is not just advantageous but essential. CRM and AI: A Harmonious Blend for Success Central to the transformative power of Generative AI is its seamless integration with CRM systems. This synergy ensures consistency and personalization in outreach efforts. Horton notes, "Video AI," when combined with CRM automation, is like having an omnipresent BDC (Business Development Center), eliminating human errors and providing constant, tailored customer interactions. Essentially, AI orchestrates a symphony of data and communication, effectively automating what was once a manual and error-prone process. For dealerships, this harmony transcends traditional sales methodologies. As Bradley states, by "launching automation flows for easy each use case," dealerships not only streamline processes but elevate them—ensuring customers receive relevant, personalized content at every touchpoint. This strategic blueprint for AI integration into CRM systems not only enhances the customer experience but dramatically increases sales performance, offering dealerships a distinct and sustainable competitive edge. The Competitive Power of AI Video in Dealerships The extraordinary potential of Generative AI isn't just in automating video creation—it's in redefining competition within the market. Dealers utilizing AI video capabilities are observing tangible improvements in sales, as evidenced by Longo Toyota's case, which highlighted a substantial increase in sales through personalized video strategies. Bradley reinforces this notion by providing a stark warning: "Every minute, every hour, every day that you waste procrastinating… is dollars lost." By harnessing the power of Generative AI, dealerships position themselves as industry leaders—actively investing in technology that not only facilitates sales but builds robust customer relationships. The lexicon of automotive sales is thus expanded, with AI serving as a tool not of replacement, but of enhancement and opportunity. It's a call to action for dealers to pivot from antiquated methodologies towards a future enriched by AI innovation, which promises not just survival, but dominance in the competitive marketplace. Time waits for no one, as echoed in the poetic recitation towards the end, reminding us of the fleeting nature of opportunity. The automotive industry stands on the precipice of a technological renaissance, with Generative AI as the catalyst speeding this evolution. Embracing AI technologies is no longer optional but essential, enabling dealerships to break free from the constraints of traditional processes and unlock unprecedented potential. Dealerships equipped with AI capabilities aren't just adapting to change—they're defining it. As the industry continues its evolutionary journey, those daring to innovate with Generative AI and video technology will indeed lead the pack.

Alicia Berruti is a seasoned professional in the real estate industry, having spent more than eight years at Bomb Bomb before transitioning to Fidelity National Financial as the Director of Agent Engagement. Alicia believes the real estate industry has a substantial opportunity to rebuild consumer trust, especially in light of the ongoing commission lawsuits. Her perspective is shaped by her experience in the industry and the belief that real estate agents can demonstrate their value and protect consumers throughout the real estate process. This viewpoint suggests a proactive approach, with agents showing up stronger and emphasizing their professional value to regain trust rather than focusing on the negative aspects of the lawsuits. Alicia's experiences and her current role in fostering trust and transparency in real estate through innovative product design greatly contribute to her perspective.In a recent episode of 'The Real Estate Sessions' podcast hosted by Bill Risser, Alicia Berruti shared insightful tips on rebuilding consumer trust in the real estate industry. Drawing from her experiences at Bomb Bomb, Alicia highlighted the significance of providing value and excellent service to clients to enhance industry relationships and trust. Here are three key takeaways from the episode:1. **Show Your Value**: Alicia emphasized the importance of demonstrating value as a means to regain consumer trust amidst commission lawsuits. By showcasing the unique services and expertise agents bring to the table, they can establish credibility and rebuild confidence in the industry.2. **Prioritize Relationships**: Alicia spoke about the lasting relationships she built within the real estate community, underscoring the value of connections in fostering trust and mutual respect. By nurturing professional relationships, agents can create a supportive network that benefits both clients and industry peers.3. **Provide Tools and Resources**: Offering tools for home management and maintenance can be a valuable resource for potential buyers and sellers. By equipping clients with practical resources, agents not only add value to their services but also demonstrate a commitment to supporting clients beyond transactions.Alicia encapsulated her perspective with a powerful quote, "Provide value and abundance will follow." This mantra underscores the principle that by prioritizing client needs and delivering exceptional service, agents can cultivate meaningful relationships, establish trust, and ultimately achieve success in the real estate industry.

Are you properly preparing for first-time meetings? Failing to do so can lead to missed opportunities and lost sales. But don't worry—in this episode of "The Sales Evangelist Podcast," host Donald Kelly will share valuable tips on effectively preparing prospects and ensuring a smoother, more productive interaction. Click play to hear what one of the industry's top sales leaders says about this essential step in the sales process. The Importance of Preparing Prospects Donald emphasizes the significance of prepping prospects before meeting with them. In a world with automated scheduling tools, it's essential to go the extra mile to personalize and optimize the prospect's meeting experience. The Strategy Donald suggests a simple yet powerful strategy to prepare prospects effectively. He recommends sending a quick video introduction to the prospect, providing a warm welcome, and addressing potential questions or concerns they might have. Additionally, including specific details about the upcoming meeting and offering personal contact information can further enhance the prospect's preparedness and engagement. Enhancing Engagement and Courtesy By implementing this strategy, sales professionals can significantly enhance engagement and courtesy from prospects. Providing personal contact information encourages prospects to connect and communicate, establishing a more respectful and engaged relationship from the outset. Overcoming Concerns Donald addresses common concerns associated with this strategy, such as the fear of potential cancellations. He explains that having prospects inform you of a cancellation is more beneficial, demonstrating their courtesy and genuine interest, rather than dealing with unexplained no-shows. Recommended Tools Donald recommends executing this strategy using video platforms like Loom, Vidyard, or BombBomb. Even for those uncomfortable with video, he encourages leveraging these tools to convey the preparatory message effectively. Ultimately, sales professionals gain a competitive edge by effectively preparing prospects and increasing their chances of closing deals. Join Donald Kelly as he continues to empower sales professionals to thrive and succeed in their endeavors. "I want you to thrive, succeed, and raise your level of thinking." Donald Kelly.

I listen to the podcast every single morning, and I train every single morning all the time." - David Gutierrez, Sales Consultant at Easy Honda (Houston, TX) About David Gutierrez David Gutierrez, a dynamic and ambitious young professional, has swiftly ascended the ranks in the competitive world of automotive sales. At just 23 years old, David has not only exceeded the six-figure earnings mark but has also become a standout performer at Easy Honda in Houston, Texas. Originally from Mexico, David's journey in the automotive industry began when he relocated to Houston at the age of 7. Growing up, his exposure to the business was through his father, who worked in various capacities within local dealerships. However, it wasn't until 2021, amid pandemic-induced challenges, that David found himself stepping into the world of car sales. Starting as a porter, David worked for an owner with multiple dealerships in California, where he gained insights into the industry. His path took a turn when, after a few months, he transitioned to sales. In September 2022, David joined a Honda dealership in Houston, selling used cars. Under the guidance of mentors and with a determination to learn and grow, he quickly made his mark. In his early months, David achieved a significant milestone by earning his first $10,000 in a single month, a feat that sparked his realization of the vast opportunities in the automotive sales arena. Fueled by a desire for personal and professional development, David committed to self-improvement, mindset refinement, and goal setting. His efforts bore fruit as he consistently sells over 20 cars per month, securing the position of a top salesperson in the pre-owned department for seven consecutive months. Beyond personal success, David sees his journey as a means to positively impact his family's life and envisions this as just the beginning of his upward trajectory in the automotive sales industry. Connect with David on Instagram: @cardealsbydave Phone Number: 832-282-4860 David Gutierrez is not merely a car salesman; he's a testament to the transformative power of dedication, hard work, and a relentless pursuit of excellence in the pursuit of one's goals. Unveiled Secrets of Automotive Sales Success: A Young Car Salesman's Journey to Six Figures The world of automotive sales is a battleground, with cutthroat competition and relentless demands for success. Amidst this high-stakes arena, it's the stories of professional growth and financial triumph that ignite a spark of inspiration in both industry veterans and novices. The transcript of a conversation between Sean V. Bradley and rising star David Gutierrez offers a glimpse into the dynamics that drive profitability and exponential sales in the automotive sector. Key Takeaways: Establishing deep community connections and offering genuine support can skyrocket sales and customer loyalty. Leveraging AI, like Chat GPT, and video communication tools can significantly improve efficiency and client engagement. Smart financial management and investment in self-education are pivotal in transitioning from a good salesperson to a great one. A Community-Centric Approach: The Catalytic Effect of Local Engagement In the fast-paced world of car sales, the subtle art of building community relationships is often overlooked. However, in his discourse with David, Sean V. Bradley continually emphasizes the enormity of its impact. By exemplifying the principle of reciprocity—giving before you ask—dealerships and sales professionals can cultivate a reservoir of goodwill and trust within their localities. David mentions utilizing podcasts and networking as instrumental in shaping his mindset for success. Similarly, Sean stresses the importance of taking an active role in local events, charities, and cultural celebrations, transforming sales professionals into community pillars. This approach carries far-reaching implications, fostering brand loyalty and transforming customers into passionate advocates for the salesperson and the dealership. The impact on sales numbers is clear, but more significantly, there's a potent influence on a dealership's legacy in the local community. Harnessing Technology: AI & Video Strategies that Make an Impact The automotive sales conversation can't be had without discussing technological leverage. David swears by the concrete benefits of integrating AI, like Chat GPT, into his routine, enhancing his customer interactions and nurturing leads. Incorporating video messages through tools like BombBomb further personifies the sales process, delivering personal connection at scale. Such tech-focused strategies demonstrate an efficient and impactful way to respond to leads and customize communication. These solutions echo throughout the industry as power moves that can differentiate the progressive from the stagnant. Adopting these tools assures a persuasive edge over traditional communication methods in engaging potential and current clients. The Path to Financial Wisdom: Training and Acting Beyond Comfort Despite David's rapid ascent into six-figure earnings, Sean's guidance draws attention to the dangers of complacency. The conversation pivots to underscore financial literacy, savings, and smart investments, such as real estate, as foundations for sustained success. Sean implores David to create a financial battle plan, focusing on meticulous tracking of leads, sales, and commissions. The emphasis on disciplined financial management and continued self-improvement lays out a blueprinted strategy for any salesperson to evolve from simply making money to creating wealth. Foreseeing market shifts and preparing for tighter competition signifies the importance of agility in maintaining high sales performance. Grounding oneself in financial prudence can act as an anchor amidst industry turbulence. Expert's Insights & Aspirations: Blueprinting a Brilliant Future in Car Sales Drawing from the rich dialogue between Sean and David, several proactive strategies emerge that can help steer any automotive professional toward remarkable achievement. The holistic development approach extends beyond immediate sales tactics to broader actions like reinforcing a compelling brand presence, fishing for prospects in the kinetic pool of community events, and diligently harnessing innovative technologies. Mindful investment in one's brand, coupled with an appetite for self-education and financial intelligence, formulates a powerful equation for sales prowess. Deploying this strategy ensures a sales representative is not an island but rather an integral, value-adding component of the consumer's world. Identifying opportunities, understanding the underlying psychology of purchases, and navigating personal customer relationships are as essential as ever. The gravity of personal branding and creating an impactful narrative can't be overstated, and it's the harnessing of these nuances that promises an illustrious career in automotive sales.

Michael Fanning, host of Windermere Coaching Minutes podcast, welcomes guest Sean Werner from Paramount Residential Mortgage. Sean has been a lender for 26 years but loves learning new technology and techniques. Two years ago Sean learned iPhone tricks from BombBomb that they didn't know. Sean realized text shortcuts on iPhones are very valuable for real estate/mortgage industries. He created a class to teach text replacements, screen recording, shortcuts, and contact cards. Digital business cards like Link and Popple require multiple steps to save a contact. iPhone text replacement feature lets you save a full contact as a phrase. Typing the shortcut text sends the full contact. This allows Sean to text his full contact info to everyone he meets in seconds. Sean recommends everyone add details like profession, title, etc to their phone contacts. Use phone notes for private info like passwords, not shared via contact card. Add past customer details like month/year they closed, interest rate, sales price to search later. Record videos and upload privately to YouTube. Turn YouTube link into a text replacement shortcut phrase. Texting video links this way makes you more relevant to clients. Take Sean's class to learn more iPhone tricks to work smarter as a real estate/mortgage professional. Add captions to videos to increase views and engagement on social media. Use multiple platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube to share videos. Send Happy Birthday videos via Facebook birthdays for exposure. Sean is happy to teach iPhone tricks. Text him at 253-07-4501. Michael and Sean want listeners to learn to work smarter using technology.

In the digital landscape that we live and do business in, the human-centered connection has been stripped away from many of our relationships. On today's show I talk with Ethan Beute about how to overcome this hurdle and excel in all of your relationships through embracing human-centered communication. We focus on one of the simplest and most effective ways to break down this digital isolation - video messaging. Sending video messages allows you to interact with others like no other form of digital communication. By leaning into human vulnerability and accessing all of the forms of verbal and verbal communication, video messages communicate your message and leave no room for misinterpretation. They also make the viewer feel heard and understood. All of these aspects combined with a genuine care for your clients will build healthy, long-lasting relationships that evolve into the backbone of your entire business!

Some companies are out there capturing demand from the market and doing it well. Then there are other companies that are doing things differently. Maybe it's an innovation the world hasn't fully understood yet. Maybe it's a break from the status quo in the industry that puts the client's needs first. These companies need someone that is championing the change they wish to make in the world, bringing "AHA" moments to folks that didn't realize there was a way to solve a problem they assumed was just a cost of doing business, and building a community of people that believe in this new way.That is the role of the Chief Evangelist... and as AI continues to change the landscape, this role of the evangelist is continuing to pick up steam.But it isn't widely understood.That's why we brought Ethan Beute, Chief Evangelist at BombBomb an host of the Chief Evangelist podcast, on the show to demystify what I believe to be the most crucial skillset companies will need in the next 10 years.Ethan helped us understand:- What does the role of a business evangelist look like and who needs one- How should the Chief Evangelist be incentivized and measured- Why he believed in the future of the role so much that he started the podcast (one of my favorites!)- and much more!Ethan was a past guest from the Human Centered Communication episode, is a dynamic speaker, and has become a friend. This is an eye-opening, value packed episode.
