One of the greatest compliments I have ever received came very unexpectedly. I had been in the car business for about 20 years and had personally trained over 300 salespeople. The same training you are about to receive. I was just hired as the general manager of a dealership and was holding my first meeting with the salespeople. I was making the point that following a process is extremely important and I listed the steps in the sales training that are in this book. One of the salespeople raised their hand, took out a folded up piece of paper, and read the steps of the sales process I had just listed. I asked him where he got that from and he said that salespeople had been passing it around for years because they never received better training from their employers. That is the reason for this book. To give the person who wants to be a professional car salesperson a map on how to achieve success. This book is very extensive and was written for the new hire as well as the seasoned pro. I truly hope this becomes a tool that you use often and you have the discipline to follow the process. In other words, I hope this becomes The Car Salesman's Bible. Best regards, Ron

Preston Clearwater has been a criminal since stealing two chain saws and 1600 pairs of aviator sunglasses from the Army during the Second World War. Back on the road in post-war North Carolina, a member of a car-theft ring, he picks up hitch-hiking Henry Dampier, an innocent nineteen-year-old Bible salesman. Clearwater immediately recognizes Henry as just the associate he needs -- one who will believe is working as an F.B.I. spy; one who will drive the cars Clearwater steals as Clearwater follows along in another car at a safe distance. Henry joyfully sees a chance to lead a dual life as Bible salesman and a G-man. During his hilarious and scary adventures we learn of Henry's fundamentalist youth, an upbringing that doesn't prepare him for his new life. As he falls in love and questions his religious training, Henry begins to see he's being used -- that the fun and games are over, that he is on his own in a way he never imagined.

Out-dated sales scripts, that might have worked in the past, aren't working now. Customers are more informed, know exactly what they want, and will shop around to get the best deal. As manager of a busy car sales dealership, recruiting and retaining great sales people is increasingly difficult. Keeping them motivated can be even harder.
