National Car Sales Training Day – August 14th

DealerRefresh has declared August 14th as National Car Salesmen Training Day. In observance of this monumental event, we are asking ALL car dealers to assign their sales people split shifts in order for this day of national training.

HA! But seriously..’The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard‘ is set to release on August 14th and I’m dieing to see it. Though I have a funny feeling this movie might not shine the most positive light on our dealer industry and it’s people but I know it’s going to be damn funny!

Who is Don Ready? Salesman? Lover? Song Stylist? Semi-professional dolphin trainer? Ready is all of the above, except for a dolphin trainer. When he’s asked to help save an ailing local car dealership from bankruptcy, Ready and his ragtag crew descend on the town of Temecula like a pack of coyotes on a basket full of burgers. Selling, drinking, selling and going to strip clubs is their stock and trade. And they do it well.

Who’s onboard?

Setting up a Photo Booth
We handle all of our inventory photography inhouse. Our grounds lack a decent spot to shoot our vehicles away from other inventory and ugly parts of the facility. We are looking into assembling a photo area in an empty service bay. I'm trying to keep this as high-speed, low-drag as... Setting up a Photo Booth

I’m the founder of DealerRefresh. I got my start in the dealer business when I was 18. From there I've worked throughout several departments within fixed to variable ops. Whether it’s managing the desk, perfecting sales process or studying online marketing and media trends, I absolutely love this business and the challenges it brings. On top of keeping up with DealerRefresh, I consult with dealerships and key industry businesses. My passion has been and continues to be helping dealers leverage new media to sell and improve customer service.
