    Your Database, Referrals & Community

    For salespeople: the cheapest, warmest traffic is people who already know you.

In this episode: • Your past and current customers are your most valuable, lowest-cost source of repeat business — work a real database. • In Canada, email and texting customers means following CASL: get consent, identify yourself, and offer an easy unsubscribe. • Ask for referrals directly, make them easy, and show up in your community so your name is the one people think of first.

    Getting Found on Google & Winning Reviews

    For salespeople: reviews are the new word of mouth, and Google is where buyers decide who to trust. How to earn reviews the right way, handle the bad ones, and make your online listings work harder. In this episode: • Reviews are the new word of mouth — ask every happy customer by name, and make it effortless. • Respond to every review, good or bad; a calm, professional reply to a complaint can win more trust than the complaint cost. • Optimize your AutoTrader.ca and Kijiji listings with honest photos and fast replies — they're search engines too.

    Handling Price Objections

    For salespeople: why 'it's too expensive' is rarely about price, and how to respond with value and honesty instead of caving on every discount. In this episode: • Most price objections are really value or trust objections in disguise. • Acknowledge, ask, then re-frame around value rather than instantly dropping price. • Protect your margin and your integrity — discounting reflexively trains customers to distrust your first number.
