Every dealership loses deals, but do you actually know why?

After 25 years of training thousands, I'm breaking down the 3 most common deal killers in the motor trade — and what top-performing salespeople do differently.

In this episode:

• Why the trial close is make-or-break (and how most reps botch it)

• The subtle ways your team avoids asking for the sale

• How most demo drives are a mess — and what to do instead

• A smarter way to spot underperformance (hint: it's not a mystery shop)

• How to stop salespeople from reverting to bad habits under pressure

If you manage a sales team or want to close more deals yourself, this episode will sting a little — but it’ll help a lot more.

About Symco Training:

Symco Training was founded in 2000 by Simon Bowkett and it was his belief that the business had to offer its clients something different. That difference was clear to Simon from his days in the dealership when he experienced many sales trainers who had all the answers, but were unable, unwilling or both to actually show the delegate how they could be implemented. It remains the ethos of the business today. You see, Symco only employ trainers that are committed to delivering not only in spiring and insightful training, but are equally as happy to demonstrate these skills and techniques with real customers in your own showroom. We believe in order for sales training to be effective and in Simon’s words ‘real world’, it needs to be tried and tested in the only place it matters the showroom floor. There is no room for theory when your goals are for your team to sell more cars, hours or parts and retain more profit. In dealerships around the world the focus applied by many of the sales executives is to try and sell a deal. Symco specialise in getting your teams to focus on selling themselves, the product and then supporting this with the deal.
