Best Practices for Screening, Selecting
            and Hiring Dealership Employees
How important is it to hire and train the right people while building a
sales team that can convert opportunities created by marketing into
actual sales results?
Organizational development is more important than ever before…with many dealers
losing staff while cutting costs during the depths of the recession, those that are
growing their business need effective strategies, tools and tactics for attracting,
screening and hiring the best Internet sales professionals with the greatest chance of
achieving their own personal success, as well as sales productivity for the dealership.
This session will explore organizational development strategies, recruiting, screening,
hiring and training tools as well as the materials and processes that the most
successful dealers in America have been using for years, and are being used today as
a means of increasing success in the hiring process. Ralph Paglia will share the tools
and processes he has used to build some of the most successful Internet sales
departments in America while teaching attendees what the essential "must haves" are,
and how to get them when seeking to grow your sales departments into high
performance digital marketing to sales conversion engines.

           Organizational Development is
           the essential stumbling block that
           many dealers and ISM’s report as
           the primary reason for Internet
           Sales Operations failure or lack of
           growth into a strategically
           significant level of sales.

Automotive boot camp 2012 recruit screen hire

  • 1. Best Practices for Screening, Selecting and Hiring Dealership Employees How important is it to hire and train the right people while building a sales team that can convert opportunities created by marketing into actual sales results? Organizational development is more important than ever before…with many dealers losing staff while cutting costs during the depths of the recession, those that are growing their business need effective strategies, tools and tactics for attracting, screening and hiring the best Internet sales professionals with the greatest chance of achieving their own personal success, as well as sales productivity for the dealership. This session will explore organizational development strategies, recruiting, screening, hiring and training tools as well as the materials and processes that the most successful dealers in America have been using for years, and are being used today as a means of increasing success in the hiring process. Ralph Paglia will share the tools and processes he has used to build some of the most successful Internet sales departments in America while teaching attendees what the essential "must haves" are, and how to get them when seeking to grow your sales departments into high performance digital marketing to sales conversion engines.
  • 2. Growing Your Internet Staff from 10 to 300 Cars per Month
  • 3. Courtesy Chevrolet in Phoenix, AZ became the USA’s leading Internet retailer of new and certified used Chevrolet vehicles… Human Resource Development was the key

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Courtesy Chevrolet sold over 11,000 new and used vehicles in 2006, of which over 4,000 originated from Internet generated leads (electronic and phone).
  2. Average monthly sales total for the combined Internet Sales and BDC teams was 180 vehicles per month…
  3. Split both the BDC and Internet Sales Teams from 2 to 4 managed profit centers, and increased BDC rep’s from 8 to 12, increased ISS’s from 8 to 12… Average monthly sales total for the combined Internet Sales and BDC teams rose to 220 vehicles per month… Added CRM Administration Staff of 2, and moved telephone switchboard receptionists to 2 nd floor and off of the showroom floor. CRM admin staff funded with money previously used for outside vendor’s unsold showroom follow-up USPS direct mail program and newly structured Lead Quality Program that tracks invalid leads and credits for those invalid leads from 3 rd Party Lead Providers.
  4. Added Special eFinance Team to handle online credit applications (720 received in July 2006 with 44 sales generated at $116,000 in gross profits), Added a Courtesy on Bell Road satellite store Internet Sales Manager to handle eLeads and set up appointments for sales staff… The Courtesy Chevrolet CRM/eBusiness Teams combined sales objectives & monthly capacity rose to 360+ CRM/eBusiness Facilitated Vehicle Sales per Month…
  5. Clearly defined job descriptions serve strategic objectives before and after hiring people for each eBusiness position… Providing itemized lists of tasks in detail, along with clearly and objective performance evaluation criteria ensure that all members of the team are focused on the same goals and day to day task completion efforts. For recruiting, a clear job description makes it easier for good people to leave their current situation and know what they are getting into, how they will be both evaluated and paid… Demystify the Internet Sales Specialist job!
  6. Pay plans should be progressive in a manner that creates extra rewards for deals sold at the beginning of the month, based on selling incremental units during the second half of the month. Performance bonuses based on process evaluation metrics should have minimum lead volume qualifiers to ensure that those who take on more leads than others are not penalized for handling extra work load.
  7. Amongst all the attributes of a dealer’s response to an Internet Lead, the time from when a customer submits a lead to when they have received a personalized email message that directly addresses their inquiry consistently shows up as correlating with sales closing ratios… All response content equal, faster dealers will outsell slower dealers. However, Content is still King in that a poor response sent quickly will reduce sales closing rates. It is important to realize that lead response time is a qualifier, an index that determines maximum closing rate upper limits. Once again, it is what the customer experiences, not how or who does it that determines the results.
  8. Lead Management Process is no longer as much an art as it has become a science… Numerous studies that utilize an OEM database matching process which tracks leads and the eventual Retail Delivery Report, then correlates sales for the brand, sales by the original lead receiving dealer, with significantly large volumes of customer submitted survey responses provide a clear and objective analysis of what the customer experiences, the differences in those experiences and their correlation with likelihood of purchasing from the dealer that received the lead. This ability to actually measure what each dealer does with their leads, through the eyes of the customer, and how these activities correspond with a sale, or a lost sale, allow a scientific management approach to Lead Management Process in a manner that absolutely WILL impact sales results from a given volume of leads.
  9. Here is a simplified illustration of what happens at Courtesy Chevrolet in Phoenix when a new lead is received from a customer requesting a price quote on either a vehicle in stock or one that the customer has configured. Although Courtesy is fairly unique in that a BDC supports each Internet Sales Specialist with telephone follow-up, it is important to understand that this is actually a compromise in the store’s original LMP so as to enable the scalability to handling monthly lead volumes that frequently exceed 6,000 leads in a month, and over 60,000 leads a year… It is important to understand that achieving the customer experiences that impact sales closing ratios in a positive manner is a more important objective than who actually completes the tasks associated with those experiences… The customers are less concerned with who provides them with good service, than they are in actually receiving it!
