On September 9th, United States prosecutors announced the indictment and arrest of two leaders of the so-called “Terrogram Collective.” This is an online community of accelerationist neo-nazis which the DOJ called “a transnational terrorist group.” The indictment charges Dallas Humber, 34, of Elk Grove, California, and Matthew Allison, 37, of Boise, Idaho with 15 crimes. They include soliciting hate crimes, soliciting the murder of federal officials, and conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. If convicted of all charges, Humber and Allison each face a maximum penalty of 220 years in prison. This group has produced propaganda that encourages their fellow white supremacists to venerate murderers and violently attack Black, immigrant, LGBT, and Jewish people. The screeds have directly inspired a series of ideologically motivated attacks around the world. These include a 2022 mass shooting at a gay bar in Slovakia; successful attacks on power infrastructure in North Carolina; and a stabbing spree in Turkey. To help better understand Terrorgram, the arrests, and the history of Dallas Humber we spoke to Abner Hauge and Michael Boorman from Left Coast Right Watch, the publication that first identified Humber as a driving force behind Terrorgram in March of last year.

Bradley, CSP, on how to further enhance her sales approach. He encourages her to create videos for a video strategy, including car walkarounds and comparison videos.

With just nine months in the industry, she has already established herself as a rising star, showcasing exceptional talent and dedication! Brenna's passion for cars goes beyond the showroom, as she is committed to providing an outstanding customer experience. Her ability to connect with clients on a personal level, coupled with an in-depth knowledge of Kia's lineup, has resulted in impressive sales achievements.

Her commitment to excellence, coupled with a genuine enthusiasm for the automotive industry, sets her apart as a standout professional. As she continues to grow in her automotive journey, Brenna Chinn remains a shining example of how passion, knowledge, and dedication can drive success in the competitive world of car sales. The Power of Video in Automotive Sales: Insights from Brenna Chinn Introduction In the fast-paced world of automotive sales, standing out from the competition is crucial. With customers bombarded by messages from various dealerships, it's essential to find innovative ways to engage and connect with potential buyers. One strategy that has proven to be highly effective is the use of video. In this article, we will explore the power of video in automotive sales, drawing insights from Brenna Chinn, a successful product specialist at Koons Woodbridge Kia. We will delve into the various ways she utilizes video to build rapport, overcome challenges, and ultimately close deals. Building Rapport through Video One of the key advantages of using video in automotive sales is the ability to establish a personal connection with customers before they even step foot in the dealership. Brenna emphasizes the importance of introducing herself and the vehicle through video, allowing customers to see her personality and get excited about their upcoming visit. She believes that this initial interaction sets the stage for a positive customer experience and helps differentiate her from the competition. According to Brenna, "Hi, my name is Brenna Chinn, and I'm a product specialist at Koons Woodbridge Kia. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and the Kia Telluride, which I think you'll absolutely love. I'm here to answer any questions you may have and make your car-buying experience as smooth as possible. I look forward to meeting you soon!" Brenna's video strategy extends beyond just internet leads. She also sends videos to phone-ups, appointment confirmations, and even third-party leads. By providing a face and a voice to the customer, she creates a sense of familiarity and trust, which leads to increased engagement and response rates. Customers appreciate the effort she puts into personalizing the experience and are more likely to reach out with questions or schedule appointments. Overcoming Price Objections Price objections are a common challenge in automotive sales, and Brenna has developed effective strategies for addressing them. When customers express concerns about the price of a vehicle, she takes a two-pronged approach. First, she highlights the value and features of the vehicle, emphasizing why it is worth the price. As Brenna explains, "The Kia Telluride offers an incredible value for its price. It comes with advanced safety features, a spacious interior, and a powerful engine. When you consider all the benefits it offers, the price is definitely justified." Secondly, Brenna explores alternative financing options to make the purchase more affordable. She suggests financing the vehicle instead of paying cash, highlighting the competitive interest rates and the ability to pay off the loan early without penalty. By presenting financing as a viable option, she helps customers see the long-term benefits and opens up possibilities that they may not have considered initially. Addressing Interest Rates High-interest rates can be a deterrent for some customers, but Brenna approaches this challenge by providing context and comparison. She acknowledges that interest rates have increased in recent years but assures customers that Kia offers competitive rates. She encourages them to shop around and compare rates, confident that Kia's financing options will stand out. Brenna states, "While interest rates have gone up, Kia still offers competitive rates. I encourage you to explore your options and compare rates. You'll find that Kia's financing options are among the best in the market." By focusing on the overall value and benefits of the vehicle, she helps customers see beyond the interest rate and understand the long-term advantages of ownership. Dealing with Inventory Challenges Inventory challenges have become more prevalent in the automotive industry, with supply chain disruptions and increased demand. Brenna acknowledges that availability can be a concern for customers, especially for popular models like the Kia Telluride. However, she offers solutions to address this issue. For customers who are not in a rush, she suggests placing a factory direct order, allowing them to customize the vehicle to their preferences. This option requires patience, as it may take several weeks for the vehicle to arrive, but it ensures that customers get exactly what they want. Brenna explains, "If you're willing to wait a bit, we can place a factory direct order for your desired Kia Telluride. This way, you can choose the color, features, and options that suit your preferences. It may take a few weeks, but it's worth it to get the perfect vehicle." For customers who need a vehicle immediately, Brenna leverages her dealership's network and explores dealership exchanges. By reaching out to other dealerships, she can find a suitable vehicle and facilitate a trade, ensuring that the customer gets the car they need in a timely manner. This proactive approach demonstrates her commitment to finding solutions and meeting customer needs, even in challenging circumstances. Expanding Sales Opportunities While Brenna has achieved impressive sales numbers through phone-ups and walk-ins, there are additional opportunities for growth. She can tap into the power of referrals and orphan owners to expand her customer base. By providing exceptional service and building strong relationships with existing customers, she can generate referrals and recommendations. Brenna states, "Word-of-mouth is incredibly powerful in the automotive industry. By providing a great experience to my customers, I've been able to generate a lot of referrals. People trust the recommendations of their friends and family, so it's a great way to expand my customer base." Additionally, she can leverage her dealership's extensive used car inventory to attract customers who may be looking for more affordable options. By showcasing the value and benefits of pre-owned vehicles, she can cater to a wider range of budgets and preferences. Conclusion and Future Outlook Brenna Chinn's success in automotive sales is a testament to the power of video and personalized customer engagement. By utilizing video throughout the sales process, she has been able to build rapport, overcome objections, and close deals. Her strategies for addressing price objections, interest rates, and inventory challenges provide valuable insights for other automotive professionals. Looking ahead, the automotive industry will continue to evolve, and sales professionals must adapt to changing customer expectations and market conditions. Embracing video as a communication tool and leveraging digital platforms for customer engagement will be essential for success. By staying proactive, building strong relationships, and continuously refining their sales strategies, automotive professionals can thrive in a competitive market. With the right tools and techniques, they can create exceptional customer experiences and drive sales to new heights.

Sometimes as salespeople we tend to think that we know how a deal is going to progress and we end the process before it even had a chance to succeed or fail. Never give up on the del until management and the banks say it is no longer a deal. Keep the process moving positively and what you will see is a sale coming from out of the blue that you were certain had zero cjance of happening based on what the customer has told you right up front. Never say no or goodbye until it is one hundred percent hopeless.

The Importance of Female Representation in the Automotive Industry Introduction In a recent interview with Morgan Jeter, a corporate executive in the automotive industry, we discussed the lack of female representation in the field and the challenges faced by women in leadership positions. Morgan, who has 14 years of experience in the industry, shared her insights and provided valuable suggestions for increasing female representation and creating a more inclusive environment. In this article, we will delve deeper into the main themes discussed in the interview, using verbatim quotes from the transcript to support our analysis. We will explore the challenges faced by women in the automotive industry, the importance of female representation, the role of sales managers in building successful teams, and the significance of accountability and finding one's "why." Finally, we will discuss the implications of these themes and the future outlook for the industry. The Lack of Female Representation Morgan highlighted the fact that there is a significant lack of female representation in the automotive industry. She shared her own experience of being the only woman on the sales floor when she started her career at the age of 21. While there has been some progress in increasing female representation, Morgan emphasized that there is still a long way to go. She attributed this lack of representation to various factors, including the industry's poor reputation, long hours, and the challenges faced by women with children and families. Morgan expressed her belief that the automotive industry is a fantastic place for women and that having more female representation would bring a different thought process and new ideas to the table. She emphasized the need for dealerships to understand what is important to women and to create a supportive and inclusive environment that addresses their needs. This could involve offering flexible schedules, providing childcare options, and listening to the input of female employees. Recruiting and Retaining Female Candidates When discussing how dealerships can proactively seek out female candidates, Morgan suggested starting with the current female employees within the organization. She recommended asking them for referrals and understanding what they like about working in the automotive industry. By involving current female employees in the recruitment process, dealerships can tap into their networks and attract more women to the industry. Morgan also highlighted the importance of reaching out to women's business networking groups and organizations that support female professionals. By attending events and building relationships with these groups, dealerships can connect with potential candidates who are already interested in pursuing a career in the automotive industry. Additionally, partnering with schools and educational institutions can provide access to a pool of talented individuals who may be interested in joining the industry. The Role of Sales Managers One of the key themes discussed in the interview was the role of sales managers in building successful teams. Both Morgan and the host emphasized the importance of sales managers in developing talent and creating a supportive environment for their salespeople. Morgan described her role as a sales manager as "facilitating the flow" of the day, which involves working with clients and salespeople to ensure a smooth and successful sales process. The host added that a sales manager's primary job is to build the most incredible sales team, similar to a coach of a sports team. This involves finding the right players, developing their skills, and identifying and overcoming any obstacles that may compromise their success. The host emphasized the need for sales managers to lead by example and to have a clear philosophy, strategy, and mission. By doing so, sales managers can inspire their team and create a cohesive and high-performing unit. The Challenges Faced by Salespeople Morgan identified training as one of the biggest challenges faced by salespeople in the automotive industry. She emphasized the need for comprehensive training that goes beyond product knowledge and covers all aspects of the sales process. She highlighted the importance of self-training and continuous learning, as well as the role of sales managers in holding their team accountable for ongoing development. The host added that the market is changing, and salespeople need to adapt to new trends and technologies. He emphasized the need for salespeople to invest time in training and to stay up-to-date with industry best practices. He also highlighted the importance of accountability and the consequences of not meeting minimum expectations. The Significance of Accountability and Finding One's "Why" Morgan emphasized the importance of accountability and kind candor in the automotive industry. She shared her approach to holding her team accountable, stating, "If they were not doing what I had asked and shown and requested of them, they most certainly would not work for me." She highlighted the need for managers to have the courage to address performance issues and to set a minimum expectation of excellence. The host echoed Morgan's sentiments, emphasizing the need for managers to lead by example and to have a clear mission and strategy. He shared a personal story about the impact of creating a memorable experience for a customer, highlighting the importance of going above and beyond to exceed customer expectations. Morgan also discussed the significance of finding one's "why" in the automotive industry. She encouraged automotive professionals to figure out what is important to them and why they do what they do. She shared her own "why" as helping other people be successful and emphasized the importance of focusing on what truly matters in order to stay motivated and overcome challenges. Implications and Future Outlook The lack of female representation in the automotive industry has significant implications for both dealerships and the industry as a whole. By increasing female representation and creating a more inclusive environment, dealerships can tap into the immense buying power and influence that women possess. This can lead to increased profitability and success for dealerships. Furthermore, comprehensive training and ongoing development are crucial for the success of salespeople and the industry as a whole. By investing in training and holding salespeople accountable, dealerships can ensure that their teams are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in a changing market. Looking ahead, it is essential for dealerships to prioritize diversity and inclusion and to actively recruit and retain female candidates. By creating a supportive and inclusive environment, dealerships can attract and retain top talent and drive success in the automotive industry. Conclusion In conclusion, the lack of female representation in the automotive industry is a significant challenge that needs to be addressed. By actively recruiting and retaining female candidates, dealerships can tap into the immense buying power and influence that women possess. Sales managers play a crucial role in building successful teams and developing talent. Comprehensive training and ongoing development are essential for the success of salespeople and the industry as a whole. By prioritizing diversity and inclusion and investing in training, dealerships can drive success and profitability in the automotive industry. The future outlook for the industry is promising, as more and more dealerships recognize the importance of female representation and work towards creating a more inclusive and diverse workforce.
