Car Dealer Pro Podcast

This week we got chatting about the things we didn’t expect we’d need to do/know/think about when we got into the trade. Do you have any thoughts about this topic too? Put them in the comments below!

This week we thought we’d get a chat about actual cars off our chests- more specifically the cars that attract the worst customers!

This week we have a little chat about the problem of only selling cars with one key, how we’d love to prep everything to the highest standard- but we have to be reasonable, and how selling as an independent is different to a main dealer.

Today we had a little therapy session for fellow motor traders who would like to grow their business, one trader is unsure wether to increase his Autotrader package and another is trying to increase his stock value. Hope you enjoy, David and James

So last week I went on Joe Bettys new podcast and Youtube channel Real Torque with shifting metal we had a right good chat, chewing the fat everything in the motor trade and more, hope you enjoy and don't forget to subscribe to his new channel. All the best David
