    My backstory, how I got here.

    My backstory, how I got here.

    I’ve been challenged to tell my backstory, so here I go. This is the first time I’ve told that story publicly so it’ll probably be a little messy, but that’s OK.

    What’s the point of asking a customer, "what website did you see this car on?"

    What’s the point of asking a customer, "what website did you see this car on?"

    Asking the customer what brought them in today is a big waste of time. The information is inaccurate at best and a waste of time at least. The customer has no vested interest in remembering which website they were on before visiting your store. All they want to do is buy a car.

    So, if you want to know what brought them in today because it might help you sell them a car, for example, there’s a life event. Then feel free to ask them what brought them in today they just might say I just totaled my old car and now you have urgency. But, don’t ask that question purely for Marketing purposes.

    Episode 11 - The Switch

    Take the blinders off your customers and yourself. Having a servants attitude means that you are wanting to help your prospects discover the best solution for them.

    Do what you do "for the customer", not "to the customer".

    Talking CarBiz with Tony, I'd love to hear from you.
