Tonight's guest wishes to remain anonymous, so I call her “Lynn” on tonight's show. Lynn's father has a farm in East Texas and he's the one who introduced her to the reality that Dogmen are extant. After talking with her dad about them, Lynn is under the impression that he just might have an arrangement with the Dogmen around his property. She just might be right about that. Lynn went from hearing about the Dogmen around her father's property to actually having her first encounter there. On tonight's show, she's going to chronicle that first encounter as well as several other encounters she's had with Dogmen, over the years. We hope you'll tune in and listen to her do that.MY NEW DOGMAN PODCAST!My new podcast is called "Dogman Tales.” It features fictional stories about Dogmen and people who have experiences with them.

This article unpacks Brainer's approach, emphasizing core principles such as adhering to a structured sales process, effective customer interaction, and the indispensability of rigorous training. Mastering the Sales Process Adhering to a structured process in sales ensures that every customer interaction is thorough and leaves no room for error. As Larry Brainer puts it, "If you shortcut your process, you shortcut your paycheck." This principle was echoed throughout the podcast and forms the bedrock of Brainer's philosophy. Brainer recalls his own experiences in vacuum cleaner sales, which laid a solid foundation for his automotive career. Dealing with high-stakes sales on a tangible yet less glamorous product taught him the value of a disciplined approach. Success in the automotive industry demands that salespeople never skip steps, even when customers try to steer the conversation prematurely towards pricing. Consider his advice during vehicle presentations: "Larry, you said you're towing your RV up over Horseshoe Bend Pass… In a minute when we drive it, you're going to love the fact that…" This narrative not only builds anticipation but ensures that the customer sees the vehicle's value firsthand before discussing numbers. Maintaining control of the demonstration and systematically verifying feature claims – from torque to sound insulation – affirms trust and validates the salesperson's expertise. The consistency in executing these steps imbues the entire process with professionalism, ensuring that potential buyers feel comprehensively catered to. It's this meticulous attention to detail that sets seasoned professionals apart from amateurs. Effective Customer Engagement Understanding and meeting the unique needs of each customer is a hallmark of effective engagement. Brainer emphasizes active listening, asserting, "Good questions get good answers, better questions get better answers, and better listeners ask better questions." This approach allows salespeople to uncover clients' deepest needs and tailor their sales strategy accordingly. For instance, Brainer recalls a time with a customer named Helen. Her primary concern was safety, stemming from a recent accident involving a friend. By directly addressing her fears and showing her the features of a Lincoln Navigator, Brainer built a critical emotional connection. He stated, "Larry, I want to know that if I hit somebody, I'm going to win." This kind of engagement goes beyond mere product features; it taps into the customer's personal concerns and aspirations. Another illustrative story involves a couple buying an F-450 truck. Knowing that involving both decision-makers was crucial, Brainer ensured both the husband and wife drove the vehicle, making both feel equally valued in the decision-making process. Effective engagement involves anticipating needs and preemptively addressing concerns. Brainer's methods demonstrate that sales are not merely transactions but relationships built on trust and mutual respect. This deep level of engagement transforms sales encounters into memorable experiences, fostering lasting customer loyalty. Importance of Training Brainer's stories highlight the critical role of training in sales excellence. Drawing on Vince Lombardi's wisdom, he underscores the importance of practice, "An amateur practices until they get it right. A professional practices until they can no longer get it wrong." The path to sales mastery involves moving from conscious competence, where actions require deliberate thought, to unconscious competence, where skills are performed effortlessly. This transition is crucial, as it frees up mental bandwidth to fully engage with customers and respond to their cues dynamically. Reflecting on his journey, Brainer's initial stint in training came from demonstrating superior product knowledge in sales training sessions. His ability to perform polished walks-around showcases how immersive practice builds confidence and competence, both of which are visible and felt by customers. He shared, "It's not what you say, it's how you say it." This highlights the need for salespeople to internalize their training so deeply that their delivery feels natural and unrehearsed. Regular, rigorous training transforms sales practitioners into experts who can predict and navigate customer interactions seamlessly. These trained professionals can then fully embody Zig Ziglar's idea that really good technique, in the hands of a really good person, becomes unrecognizable as technique – it simply feels like a superior service. Synthesizing Insights Larry Brainer's approach to sales excellence intertwines a structured process, deep customer engagement, and relentless training. It is this triad that forms the basis of his successful methodology. The meticulous adherence to each step ensures nothing is overlooked, reinforcing the credibility and appeal of both the salesperson and the product. Building robust customer relationships by listening and responding genuinely to their needs transforms simple transactions into meaningful experiences. Training, continually pursued and refined, elevates a salesperson from a mere executor of tasks to a master of the craft. These principles do not merely add value to the automotive sales profession; they redefine it, setting a high bar for what it means to be an effective and empathetic salesperson. By internalizing these teachings, aspiring professionals can pave their own path toward unparalleled success in the automotive industry.

PAUSE… Take a deep, full breath in, Expanding your belly and filling your chest. And then exhale, Breathing the air out, Releasing any tension or tightness. PAUSE… Another deep breath in, Gathering up the day, The thoughts, The tasks, And then breathe it all out, Relaxing deeper into the comfort of your bed. PAUSE… Now find the gentle flow of your breathing. In, And out, Naturally, Easily. LONG PAUSE… One with your breath, One with your bed, One with your body. Breathe… PAUSE… Now see if you can imagine yourself, Standing outside, Ready to begin your walk around your neighborhood. PAUSE… Your eyes look up at the sky, Filled with stars shining bright in the darkness. PAUSE… Look around at the soft, warm glow of streetlights, Casting their shadows on the ground. PAUSE… Observe the homes around you, Each with their own personality, Their own life lived within. LONG PAUSE… Now listen. You hear a symphony of sounds, Surrounding you in the night. PAUSE… Hear the melodic chirping of the crickets, The call of an owl in the distance, And the rustling of leaves as they dance in the breeze. PAUSE… Breathe…and be here with the sounds. LONG PAUSE… Now feel the texture of the ground beneath your feet. The cool damp grass, Or the warmth of the paved neighborhood road, Or the softness of the Earth. PAUSE… Feel the gentle breeze brush upon your skin, And your hands glide upon your clothes, As you relax deeper and deeper. LONG PAUSE… Now notice the scents of the night. The sweet aroma of the flowers, The smell of rain upon the road, The fragrance of dinner escaping from the homes. PAUSE… Breathe it all in, And let it warm you, And relax you. LONG PAUSE… Now imagine yourself opening your mouth, And becoming aware of what you taste. The sweet crispness of the night air, The memories of the food you can still taste, The dryness or wetness of the air as it dances with your tongue. PAUSE… Breathe deeper, As you savor the flavors of the night. LONG PAUSE… Your senses move you through, The welcoming paths of your neighborhood. You're safe here. Relaxed, And calm. Clear, And at peace. Namaste, Beautiful
