There are many factors that can influence the customer that you may not have ever thought about.It’s all in the greeting!The next time you are shopping for a new or used car, pay close attention to the greeting you receive from the salesperson. Is it a warm, heartfelt “Hello, welcome to Audi Seacoast. May I be of some assistance?”, or is it more of a “Hi, can I help you?” The majority of time it will be the latter. A very disinterested salesperson is a poor salesperson, destined to be looking for a different job soon.Customers, people in general, are more willing to open up to someone who seems to take a genuine interest in them. You can kill a sale in the first ten seconds of greeting a customer with the incorrect approach.Regardless of the geographic region, Boston Honda or Toyota Los Angeles, a proper greeting can go a long way with many, many customers.Selling cars has a lot to do with gaining the customer’s trust. By nature, we are in a business that has built up years and years trust breaking. It takes quite a bit to get the customer’s to drop the wall they have around them, especially early on when walking onto a lot for the first time in a while.Even the setting of your dealership can be conducive to success or failure. Let’s say you drive onto a Dallas Mazda dealership and 20 salespeople are gathered around waiting to pounce on you. It is going to be next to impossible for any one of those salespeople to make a positive impression on you. This is when a dealership policy needs to be created and enforced to stop the massive cluster groups and stop unintentionally intimidating the customers.Conversely, if you drive onto a
Porsche
North
Shore lot and you are enabled to get out of your car without being accosted and able to look at a few vehicle before being approached, that salesperson and customer stand a much better chance of hitting things off on the right foot.Always be thinking in the best interest of the customer. They will be able to feel that you are not in this business for a quick buck, but rather to make a long and prosperous career. People want to be associated with successful people, and customers want to buy cars from successful people. It is far easier to trust a salesperson that dresses well and is very comfortable in their surroundings, as opposed to someone that lacks confidence and doesn’t look like they belong.As you can see, the greeting, along with the initial impression the customer has as they pull onto the lot, can go a long way in assisting or damaging your chances of selling a car. Like we mentioned at the top of the article, selling cars is not difficult when broken down to its simplest form, but there are many factors that can influence the customer that you may not have ever thought about.

There she is stranded alone in the parking lot. Two small children press their noses up against the cold December glass. They’re wondering why Mommy is so upset and why they haven’t started home.The woman looks around for someone to help. She wonders, “what happened to my car? It started this morning before we went to the mall.”Does this sound familiar to you? It happened to my wife once. It was really frustrating for both of us. I was out of town on business and we had just recently moved to the area and had no one to call.Fortunately a good Samaritan came by and helped her. She had one of those portable air compressor and battery charger units in her trunk. She went straight to my wife’s car connected the clamps to the terminals and my wife’s car started right up.My wife went on and on about how neat and compact this device was. I decided to look into it further especially since I didn’t want her to be in this situation again. It turns out that for around $100 or less (depending on what features and how powerful it is) we could keep one of these gadgets in my wife’s trunk. That’s cheap insurance to keep yourself or a loved one from being stranded if you ask me.There are several different makes and models and may offer different options. Here is a summary of some items to look for:Emergency StartingFor the most bang for your buck get a system that offers the most cranking amps available. Many systems are available that offer between 250 to 375 amps. This high amperage will allow for starting a completely drained battery.Air CompressorAlthough you can buy them without an air compressor having one with your battery charger for your trunk makes sense. For emergencies this device can inflate a flat tire in less than a few minutes. For slow leaks this may buy you a little more mileage to get to the nearest tire service shop. You can use this to inflate your beach toys too!Work LightHaving both hands free makes hooking up a compressor charger unit less troublesome especially at night. A built in work light is like having a third hand. Just set the charger on the engine or side of the compartment to give light to what you are doing (just make sure to put the charger back on the ground before starting the engine.)Reverse Polarity AlarmOne of the most important things to be mindful of when using an automotive battery charger is making sure the clamps are connected correctly. Knowing which terminal or post is positive and which is negative is less of an issue with a reverse polarity alarm. This handy indicator may save the battery and lessen the risk of explosion for the user.If you have loved ones that drive at all, getting a portable air compressor and battery charger really is cheap insurance from getting stranded. There are many kinds available for all budgets and they are simple to use so get one today!

Your new car might be the car of your dreams, or just a regular A to B type vehicle. Either way, having the right warranty is a good idea.There are a few things you should look out for when searching for an extended auto warranty. First and foremost, and unfortunately, there are a few different kinds of cars notorious for being incredibly hard to find warranties for, or in some cases, not at all. Very expensive cars will often have very expensive repairs, such as Jaguars, certain engine models in Mercedes, and Porches. You may have been told that Land Rovers also fall into this category. If you’re not in the
US, often foreign cars will also prove difficult.So you don’t have a car that’s difficult to get a warranty for, great. It’s still important to look out for risky or “shady” extended auto warranty companies - many companies will offer very low rates and when the time comes to make a claim, they won’t hesitate to deny it. Often these companies won’t be existence for very long, so you might be paying a company that won’t be around a few months from now. Definitely a headache if not a nightmare. A good idea is to check out any company with the better business bureau, along with doing your own research. What companies do your friends, family, or associates use? Have they ever made a claim? What was the customer service like? Have they ever had a problem with the company? If so, how was it resolved? Asking plenty of questions like these will save you time and hard earned money.Now, what if your car has high mileage? The best option here is to seek out a company that will provide a high mileage extended warranty at a reasonable price. This is especially important if you are buying a used car - you might want to see what’s available before buying it if you plan on getting a warranty.Get as many quotes as you can before making your final decision - it might be tedious, but most companies will give you a quote for free over the phone or on their websites. You might end up saving quite a bit of cash and avoid future issues.The most important thing to do is make sure the company will actually cover you if you do indeed make a claim. That’s why you’re getting a warranty after all! Just remember to take your time, don’t rush things, and always do plenty of research before getting an extended auto warranty and you’ll be driving with a clear mind in no time.

When it comes to selling a used car via an online classified ad, you have the opportunity to reach a much larger audience than you would with traditional advertising methods. If you have never sold with this method, or if you feel that your last sale could have gone better, here are some tips to keep in mind that will help ensure a successful used car sale.The first thing to do is to establish the value of your used car, and the best way to do this is to consult a car values book, and other existing online classified car ads with similar vehicles. You may also consider taking your car to a lot to see what a dealer would offer, and then incorporate all of this information into the price that you include in your ad.Next, be sure to list the body style, model, and year of your used car, as well as the engine size, color, and mileage. Honesty really is the best policy, and if your car has some less than desirable qualities, like cosmetic dings or rust, be sure to emphasize the positive to offset these negative descriptions. Phrases such as one owner, fuel economy, well maintained, and low mileage stand out to ad readers more than comments about imperfections that can be easily fixed.After you have determined a price and written an effective ad, the next step is to prepare your vehicle for sale. Have your car professionally cleaned and detailed, and instead of spending money on major repairs, which will likely cost you more than the price that you will receive for the car, plan on being honest about the condition of your car, both in the ad and in person.Once your ad is posted and your car is ready, it is time to wait for the calls and email inquiries to start rolling in. Be sure to give honest answers to questions, and make an appointment for a specific time to show the car. If the prospective buyer is late or does not show up, do not feel obligated to wait or hold the car for them, just move on to the next person. Always check the title transfer procedures and requirements for your state before you transfer physical ownership of the car, and always demand payment in cash or by certified check to protect your interests.Online classified ads, when used correctly, can be powerful selling tools, so use yours wisely, following the above tips, and you will be well on your way to a successful sale.
