What's your business, and who are your customers?
I consult car dealerships on process improvement & I also provide management & sales training. I also sell software; The Next Up, Aithr, and Carpraze are 3 of the best software options for automotive retailers in North America. With a combination of experience, contacts, and knowledge, I help my clients be proactive rather than reactive by achieving efficiency and accountability in the sales department.
My book BUY or DIE the most important topics and best practices for use on any automotive sales floor. Be your own BOSS, be your own motivator, be prepared, and most importantly, have a plan! It’s available on amazon. Article in Canadian Auto Dealer by Perry Lefko.
Tell us about yourself
My business was started by necessity when my contract was no longer extended with my employer. Necessity is the mother of invention, as they say. Nothing motivates me more than myself. If I can’t find the mindset, I’ll push myself physically and let it find me. One has to have a belief in themselves and what they’re doing in order to sell a client on their services.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Like many self-employed people, my biggest accomplishment has been to remain self-employed. Through many hours, calls, emails, campaigns, and conversations, we try to build lasting relationships with our customers. These relationships are built on trust but also on results. Ultimately, they speak for themselves.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
(See Answer above) It’s a grind. That’s the ONE downside!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Your biggest worries are nothing to worry about.
- You’ll never see the stuff you should worry about coming.
- Don’t worry about it; just do the work and keep at it.
