Using Proper Tools is like Keeping Your Guard Up
You might get your head kicked in without them

Every position in the Dealership requires the use of processes and tools in order to be successful. When new tools come along, we’re often resistant to trying them or we’re just too stubborn to do so. The attitudes vary from, "You can’t teach an old dog new tricks!" to "It takes too much time to learn how to use it". But the use of proper tools and the willingness to try new tools or processes are essential for success.

Pay-per-view

The boys at the Chuck Liddell - Randy Couture fight party decided to have some friendly competition of their own.  When they reached for the gloves and headgear, they found that one of the sets of headgear was missing. They also had only speed bag gloves so the padding was rather limited. Still, without headgear, proper gloves or mouth-guards, the boys proceeded to duke it out in the backyard.

As you can imagine, there were some black eyes and a few bloody noses. There was also a crushing blow to the head of one boy who was momentarily knocked unconscious.

How Customers Spar

Today’s customers have more knowledge and are generally better prepared. They’ve prepared themselves with research and questions that they’re ready to throw at you once you've dropped your guard. They ask questions about the performance, safety, reliability and finance options. When you aren’t equipped to deflect these blows, you’re likely to be knocked out of the sales process.
