In Part 2, I sit down with Harry Bott, the co-founder of the industry's leading call-tracking software, to audit the holes in your sales process you can’t see.

20% of sales calls never reach a salesperson on the first attempt, and around half of the calls that do get through never make it into the CRM, so you’re losing up to three quarters of your phone opportunities before follow-up even begins.

We walk through exactly how to plug those holes. The language that saves a “sold car” enquiry, why silence beats feature-dumping, mirroring pace to build trust, the “three-point affirmation” to defuse price, when to offer delivery vs. an appointment up-front, how to telephone-interview candidates, and why every shopper should be treated like a rock star.

Listen to this on your commute.

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.
