Lethal Hurricanes Attack The South

The American Southeast is being hit BACK TO BACK with deadly hurricanes.

With the aftermath of Helene coming to light, the death toll is over 200, and MILLIONS are left without water or power by its devastating passing.

Just when things couldn’t get worse, Floridians are now bracing for impact as Milton hammers the Gulf Coast with 180 MPH+ winds and record breaking storm surges. Milton is reported by many sources to be among the strongest storms ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean.

Long story short — things are bad.

And…

They need our help.

We know that all of our amazing DMV dealerships are involved in some very powerful volunteer and charity work, but this is certainly one worth considering. Many southern states are in critical condition and in need of relief.

Things are only expected to get worse after Milton passes, and there is no telling what we will be left with after.

There are numerous relief funds and humanitarian websites already helping. Find one you trust, and get in contact with them.

Stay up to date with the live news links above and keep all those who are (and will be) effected in your thoughts and prayers.

Sell Me This Pen Car

Possibly the most cliche four words in the sales universe —”Sell me this pen.” has prompted countless answers and arguments.

So, what is the best answer? Is there an answer? Is this a counterproductive exercise all together? How does it translate to automotive?

Let’s explore…

There really are one million ways to approach this scenario and ultimately ‘sell the pen’. Hubspot and Salesforce offer some very conventional strategies, such as value-adding and problem-creation, but is this textbook stuff what really sells the pen?

Above are two very interesting approaches. Essentially, experts agree it has little to do with the pen (or car). The pen could be anything. It is about HOW you sell the pen, WHY you sell the pen, and WHO to sell the pen to. Give the videos a watch and form your own ‘sales pitch’ to sell the pen.

When watching these videos and researching the topic, always envision the pen as a car. Make each question, each selling point related to a car in mind and learn from the strategies displayed. If you think you’ve extracted something valuable, try it out on the lot!
