This week on the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley asks Geno Kyle, General Sales Manager at Hubler Automotive Group in Indianapolis, IN, the hard-hitting pressing questions asked by the Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook group in 2023. If you've ever asked yourself: How do I overcome addendums? How does Geno overcome the new car inventory shortage? What's working the best, flipping people to used cars, direct orders, or similar new vehicles when you don't have the car a customer wants? How to close a customer on a higher payment? Do you have a question you would like to ask the pros? Make sure you're part of the Millionaire Car Salesman.   About Geno Kyle Geno Kyle has been in the automotive industry for 30 years. At the start of his career, he had an interview at a dealership and was told he needed the commitment or talent to be a salesperson. He did not let that deter him from becoming who he is today. Car salesmen trained under Geno Kyle's expertise have sold between 36-40 cars a month. He believes and trains on the concept that having faith in yourself, doing things outside of what you see every day, and mapping out the blueprint to your goals are key to major success.    About Hubler Automotive Group The Hubler Automotive Group has been serving Indiana drivers for nearly 60 years with top-notch car sales, service, and financing. Franklin Hubler founded the Hubler Automotive Group in 1961 when he bought a Chevrolet dealership in Indianapolis, IN.

This week on the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley and Malik “Yung Jedi” Bronner break down the current struggles of the automotive industry. Do car salespeople know how to sell cars as they did before the pandemic? How did the pandemic create a sales force with widespread limited knowledge of how to properly sell a car? Realistically how can managers and trainers turn their sales professionals around? Training, training, training is the number one thing to create master car salespeople. Focus on the basics: how to qualify a prospect on the sales room floor, take the OEM seriously, the road to the sale, etc. All these things will improve your dealership.   About Malik Bronner Starting at Dealer Synergy over three years ago as a call analyst, Malik “Yung Jedi” Bronner has worked his way up the ranks to the position of Performance Coach at Dealer Synergy and a Tier 1 National Trainer.

David Dulany is Founder and CEO of Tenbound, a research and advisory firm focused and dedicated to Sales Development. Tenbound has become the hub of the Sales Development industry, with a thriving online research center, market map, tool directory, training and consulting programs and The Tenbound Sales Development Conferences held yearly around the world and virtually. In this episode we talk about what David sees as the toughest problems for B2B revenue teams, David's predictions for the sales technology market, David's book: The Sales Development Framework, and we wrap up with David's advice to new Sales Consultants.Episode Show Notes:The technology space is in a retraction right now and squeezing more therefore the focus is on efficiency whereas by comparison it was “growth at all cost” just a few months ago.“Some of the best companies, they're just taking a closer look at all aspects of efficiency, whether it's people, the processes that they have, the technology that's plugged in. It's gone from the CEO running the revenue engine to the CFO running the revenue engine to some extent.David is predicting consolidation in the tech sales arena which is telling because he's very close to the research given his ownership of the Tenbound Sales Development Market Map. He's also predicting that some companies will go out of business.Of the 8 pillars in his book: The Sales Development Framework, culture was the one he feels is most important right now. “One of the things that I saw missing from a lot of the methodologies that ends up being hugely important is establishing a culture on the team and something that's additive to the company culture. Usually companies have a culture that's either created or it can be positive or can be negative. But what's the culture of your actual SDR team and how are you thinking about that and how are you living that culture? And it's just something that I saw not a lot of people thinking about or even being able to sort of put into a context. And so that's where we actually start with the book.”Shares why he agrees that “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” as Peter Drucker famously said. Here's a Forbes article that answers why culture eats strategy for breakfast. We go into the importance of being intentional about your Sales or SDR team's micro culture.He shares his views on being intentional about your culture.We delve into the benefits of ‘community' for salespeople and sales organizations. Last year Tenbound launched their Tenbound Plus community and David explains why if he were to write the book again he would absolutely make “Community” one of the pillars to success in his framework.Discussed his HEAR/R Methodolgy and how experiments (tests) should be approached with regard to SDR messaging.David gives his advice to anyone who is or is thinking of becoming a Sales Consultant.David reveals that The Tenbound Sales Development conference will be back in San Francisco this year.

In the world of sales, a lot of really great people struggle to hit their numbers - not because they are bad at sales, but because they don't resonate with the prevailing sales methods.  Not every salesperson will feel motivated in a typical high-pressure, high-volume environment. If the traditional approach to selling makes you feel icky, and you prefer to succeed through connection and relationship, you're a matcher, and this is a very different archetype to a sales consultant.  Many matchers struggle to meet their goals because they believe they don't measure up - but the problem isn't you, it's how you've been trained.  What's the better approach for matchers, and how do you motivate them? In this episode, I'll share the two camps of salespeople and how to specifically thrive as a matcher.  Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode  What hampers your ability to be a strong matcher  How do we do away with the subconscious belief that we're not doing well at sales because something is wrong with us?  Quantity cold vs. quality warm  What are the different types of leads and which category works best for the matchers? How to motivate a matcher If matchers aren't money-motivated or motivated by the usual rewards salespeople get, what do they care about?  Prosperity Program Link: https://angelakristentaylor.com/mastery-program-page/ (https://angelakristentaylor.com/mastery-program-page) Download your Matcher's Accountability Checklist: https://angelakristentaylor.activehosted.com/f/9 (https://angelakristentaylor.activehosted.com/f/9)
