Comment on: Topic 'To Price - or Not To Price; that is the question!': re else) are absolutely true. In all my years in the industry I never wavered from one golden rule. NEVER MAKE THE FIRST MOVE ON PRICE. There is only one way to get a buyer of anything to make the first move. Dynamic pricing. In other words, "make me an offer". The Internet is eminently suitable for dynamic pricing. Its nothing new of course. Trillions of dollars worth of other commodities (including used cars) are traded by this method every day.

Comment on: Topic 'Why the Dealership Selling Method is the LAST thing to change!': stale Explicit Conversational Management (ECM) methods ("Push" methods). Discovery focuses on two primary client problems; (1) The Problem with their current mode of transportation (emotionally and pragmatically), and (2) The Problem with their Current Shopping Experience (Wants and Needs of the client are merely footnotes...and are of only minor importance. We must discover these two problems in order to begin establishing the TRUST factor). Presentation is the presentation we make of our Package of Extraordinary Benefits (PEB). This has NOTHING to do with the presentation of a vehicle. However, it delivers the client's first commitment to our service. The Works is now the dissemination of decison-making information from the client (Their current process for vehcile decison-making, the "Trade", the preferred method of payment, and finally the financials ~ which means we are easily given the client's budgetary requirements PRIOR to ever selecting a vehicle ~, and then their credit situation and a final RECAP which results in a hard commitment by the client). Again...there has be NO vehicle solution offered at all by this moment of the ICM, yet all forward momentum is delivered by the client. The Finish is the final phase. This includes (1) Management Introduction, (2) Vehicle Solutions to match the client's hard commitment (This is how we maximize gross adn penetration ratios), (3) Vehicle Presentation ($1,000,000 walk-a-round), (4) Raod Test, (5) Rate the Vehicle, (6) Deliver the Numbers based upon hard Commitment Criteria, (7) Referral Collection, (8) Sign-up, (9) Vehicle delivery, (10) Long Term Follow-up.
