    Subject: Sell Yourself!
    Message:
    Before I get into selling yourself, first here's a quick tip to increase sales when bebacks come back. When you first meet them take a copy of their drivers license. Now, paste their pic to your follow up card or scan into your computer. Better yet, sharp is introducing a watch this month that has a built in digital camera for $199. And it holds 100 pics with names and addresses. Great for putting a face with the name!. On to selling yourself. Each customer I have, I give a little spill to about how my main focus is not if I sell them a car. But, that they are happy with me. I tell a true story how my father drove 130 miles to buy cars from one person for 30 years! During selling myself. I explain that I will ask them for referrals even if I don't sell them a car. This opens a new avenue for business. If I don't sell them a car I still call and ask who do you know that will be purchasing a vehicle next? It's suprising how many referrals I've sold cars to that came from customers who never bought a car from me. Remember you may not always have the vehicle that meets their needs. But they may have wanted to buy from you anyway.
