Importance of Training: Continuous training and moving beyond conscious competence to intuitive expertise set-top sales professionals apart.     Introduction In the competitive world of automotive sales, mastering the intricate art of customer engagement and sealing deals is paramount. The Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast recently featured Larry Brainer, Internet Director and Trainer for the Dennis Dillon Auto Group, who shared invaluable insights into becoming a top-tier automotive salesperson. 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.

When you're facing a problem or a difficult situation in your creative business, what is your first reaction? What do you do? Do you feel frozen? Do you feel frantic, like you have no options? Do you beat your head against the wall? Or do you take a step back and find a way to walk around the wall? I know that, personally, my initial reaction is always either to freeze or to feel frantic and stuck. But that's not the only option. Even if, like me, that's your first reaction, you don't have to stay there. When you're up against a problem in your artistic work that's standing it your way like a giant, immoveable brick wall, you can find a way to walk around the wall.

Frankie D comments on pictures of a bunch of celebrities in sexy bathing suits from the 4th of July. The story included Katy Perry, Emma Hernan, Lisa Rinna, and more! Most of the story was hot women celebrities in bikinis showing off their boobs, unfortunately Tom Brady had to be added to the story and ruin that. I also talk about “The D'amelio show” being cancelled on Hulu. I also talk about Michael J. Fox playing on stage with Coldplay at a concert. After that I talk about how Jenna Bush Hager, George W.
