Owning a car is the great American dream next to owning a home. Car sales drive the economy because of the geographic size of our country. Yet, some car dealerships manufacture obstacles that prevent more new car sales and then beat up their car salesmen or car saleswomen for not meeting goals to increase sales. Does this make sense?

Selling a car is a goal for a car salesman or saleswoman. Selling lots of cars or units is the car dealership’s goal. However after coaching person sales persons who trade cars for a living and working with a mid size dealership, I have observed these a heap of obstacles that the dealerships systematically place in front of their sales force.

Number One Obstacle – Team Philosophy First, the conception of this dealership is a team. This is utterly untrue one in the sense that car sales strength are remunerated on commission. In a concentrated geographic area that being the lot and the showroom, each car salesman or car saleswoman is out for himself or herself because it is all when it comes to economic survival and occupation security.

Number Two – The Blame Game Poor sales are the fault of an under performing sales force. Yes, the sales strength may not be as aggressive as necessary, but there are a great deal of more elements involved. Examples include:

• The complex mental states of everyone from the finance manager to the service manager may likewise negatively affect the regularly every month sales.
• The entire buying experience from the customer’s perspective
• The conditioning of the clients by the automati makers

Number Three – Management or Leadership Inconsistency The inconsistency of management’s plan or lack of plan is a primary obstacle. When there is no merged and strongly communicated plan, the establishment may never reach it is full potential. Leadership is all when it comes to getting results using without doubt or question articulated core values. When sales are down, a heap of times management takes the spray and pray approach by altering schemes on a weekly if not every day basis. These activenesses construct even more outstanding inconsistency specific to the goal to increase sales.

For example, one of my coaching clients who came from the corporate world and has been marketing cars for just a year shared this with me. During a recent sales meeting with everyone including the ordinary manager, the sales manager, the finance manager, the training manager, the service manager and the sales force, was asked this statement: We want everyone on the same page.

My client listened to this statement and made this observation: We are not even in the same book, less alone on the same page. He then related assorted incidents where every one was on dissimilar pages even even though they all thought they were on the same page.

Car dealerships ought to recognize that they are organizations and that performance betterment ought to be aligned allround the dealership. By focusing just on the performance of the sales strength will not secure the long term goal of selling more cars.
