About this listen
There are many books on how to succeed in F&I. Experts are everywhere, trying to give you advice on how to be successful. You see magazines, blogs, podcasts, and even TV shows, telling you how to maximize your profits and how to overcome any objection. Yet, something is still missing. Customer satisfaction is incredibly low.
People dislike the buying process. Nearly six out of every 10 customers skip buying a vehicle service contract from their selling dealer, while third party competition is thriving on selling to those same customers. With the advent of DealerTrack and RouteOne, coupled with the evolution of the desk-submitting deals before F&I involvement even begins, people should be delighted with the overall transaction times, but they're not.
Another problem we face is that most F&I training offered today follows an old model of trying to simply overcome objections. The focus on objections made F&I development companies a solution for dealers wanting to create their own F&I departments in the 1970s. And it worked. They created an industry. But the world keeps moving.
Today, endlessly debating with customers by overcoming every objection is a problem. We must be as Bruce Lee said, "Be like water" and adapt to each customer individually. For instance, today, a menu presentation with every product bundled into the "complete" or "platinum" column may be the best way to present your payments, or it may not be.
Do you know what sales process is most effective in your store? Or, are you just doing what the trainer tells you works best? More importantly, can they bring data? Can they demonstrate effective results in your store? If not, why are they giving you advice?

This book is the pocket guide I wish I had when I first became a general manager of a Mitsubishi dealership in New York. Honestly, I am not the brightest star in the sky and made every mistake anyone could’ve possibly made. The car business desperately needs better leadership skills, understanding of social media, inventory management, fixed operations, and so much more. There is no educational barrier to the entry into car business, and there are only a handful of universities offering a major in car dealership general management, such as Liberty and Keiser.

Story
People don't buy from people they like. No! Your buyer doesn't care about you or your product or service. It's not your job to overcome objections, it's your buyer's. Closing isn't a skill of good salespeople; it's the skill of weak salespeople. Price isn't the main reason salespeople lose the sale. Gap Selling shreds traditional and closely held sales beliefs that have been hurting salespeople for decades. For years, salespeople have embraced a myriad of sales tactics and belief systems that have unknowingly created many of the issues they have been trying to avoid.

Consumers are dissatisfied with the sales process in brick and mortar dealerships and that is the driving force behind the rise of Carvana and other industry disrupters. However, it is not too late to fix the way car dealerships operate and improve their reputation. Car Business 101 highlights irrational and counterproductive behavior that car dealers engage in on a daily basis. If you own or work in a car dealership it will be easy to recognize insanity that goes on in Sales, F&I, BDC, HR, and the Parts & Service departments.

For years now, win-win has been the paradigm for business negotiation. But today, win-win is just the seductive mantra used by the toughest negotiators to get the other side to compromise unnecessarily, early, and often. Win-win negotiations play to your emotions and take advantage of your instinct and desire to make the deal. Start with No introduces a system of decision-based negotiation that teaches you how to understand and control these emotions.

Sometimes, it appears that there are more cars on the road than people already, how could you possibly make any money in this industry? The market has never been better for individuals who are striving to begin their own used car dealership. Used car dealerships are a recession-sturdy business model.
