Service to sales isn't a new concept. But how you approach it is the difference between simply annoying a service customer and building an actual pipeline of prospects.

In this video, one of our lead trainers, Mat Koenig, goes through his framework to properly get your foot in the door with your dealership's service customers.

Because let's face it, the days of potential prospects just waltzing into the dealership are slowly coming to a close.

Service, however, is something that will always be bringing in new customers, creating a pool of potential prospects for salespeople.

This method, if done correctly, can get you up to 80 new referrals a month. All while taking no more than 15-30 minutes of your time each day.

Interested in seeing Mat run through the entire framework?

Don't leave an awkward silence after dropping the price bomb, then go straight to negotiating.

Assume the sale.

Simple things like "Can I get you a cup of coffee while we wrap up?" are all you need. That easy-to-answer question does 2 powerful things.

If they answer with "Yeah I'd love a coffee" they just subconsciously assumed the sale, making it easier for them to move forward in the decision making process. This is because their brain bypasses the BIG decision of buying a vehicle with a little decision of whether or not they want something to drink.

But what if that doesn't work?

Well there is no if it works or doesn't work, because even if it "doesn't work"... it worked.

And in there lies the second most powerful use for this strategy.

So many salespeople go straight into negotiating, because they assume that's what the customer is going to do when they hear the price. But when you assume the sale and follow it with an easy to answer question like "do you want a coffee" you're able to evaluate when the right time to start negotiations are.

In this video one of our lead trainers, Mat Koenig, talks about the benefits of giving customers a minor decision to make once you've offered them the opportunity to say yes to the deal.

Almost everyone knows the phrase "sticker shock", especially if you work in a car dealership. Sadly, this is virtually unavoidable in the automotive industry.

A customer sees the window sticker, and immediately their priorities shift.

Suddenly they become appraisal experts, saying things like "Oh, that's way overpriced." "I saw one online for less than this." "I could never justify spending that much on this car"

As a salesperson, those things are almost entirely out of your control. After all, you're not the one who puts the window sticker on the car.

What is in your control is how you present the payment.

9 times out of 10, you have to break the news to someone that their payment will increase when they upgrade to this new vehicle. However, there is an art to saying that.

Present a Payment Difference Figure; never just drop the full payment on them.

When presenting the new monthly payment as a difference rather than the full dollar amount, you allow the customers to actually visualize how much more they will be spending and avoid that "sticker shock" mindset.

$500 a month is a good chunk of change; it would make anyone take a step back and reevaluate things. But if they're already paying $300 a month, is it really that drastic a jump?

In this video, one of our lead trainers, Mat Koenig, talks about how to break down the payment in a way that makes it more digestible for the customer and easier for them to say yes.
