How to sell more cars, make more money, and have more fun by building better, stronger, more authentically human customer relationships - online and in real life. "This is like crack for car dealers," - Robert Rogers, Parks Motors "Spot on info and clear objectives. This will raise everyone's game," - Greg Brinson, Toliver CDJR "Absolutely amazing. Informative and entertaining. Never a dull moment," - Ana Hernadez, Jeep Only "Terry has shown me how to keep in better contact with my clients so that they know they always have a friend in the car business." - Michael J Smith, Ft Wayne Toyota If you’re an “average” car salesperson, pretty good at your job, you’re probably not going to have a job for much longer. There are plenty of order takers and delivery clerks who are willing to do it cheaper, and there are robots who can do it pretty much for free. You’ll never beat them at their game. Carvana is projecting the annual sales of 2 million vehicles, without a single car salesperson on staff. If you want to be in the car business long-term, you’re going to need to get really good at doing the ONE THING that the robots can’t do. The ONE THING that Wall Street, Madison Avenue, and Silicone Valley won’t do. And, ironically, the ONE THING that every good salesperson in the history of the car business did before the internet got us all discombobulated. The ONE THING that the world’s greatest salespeople are doing still today - Building better, stronger, more authentically human customer relationships online and in real life. Being you is your superpower. Today’s successful salesperson has to take on much more responsibility for marketing themselves, creating their own network of buyers, building relationships earlier in the buying process, and maintaining those relationships longer. If you get in front of enough people, you’ve got people in the store to help you close deals. Closing deals ain’t the problem. Opening deals is the problem. This book will help you open more deals, generate your own leads, and get in front of more people so you can sell more cars, make more money, and have more fun! Terry Lancaster has worked with thousands of dealer principals, managers, and salespeople providing proven strategies for making the cash register ring. I conduct sales and marketing training through online sales meetings, in-store training, and coaching for your salespeople and managers to provide the personalization and accountability to make big things happen. Whether it's radio and TV ads for your store to video interviews and blog posts featuring employees, customers, and community partners, I'll help you create the content you need to tell the story you want to tell. My #1 best-selling books have received glowing reviews from around the world thanking me for the actionable, life-changing ideas they present. I’ve been featured in Forbes and Automotive News, spoken from the TedX stage and at the NADA national convention, and came in second place at my Eighth Grade debate championship. In my personal life, I've survived Cancer... twice. I've had a gun held to my head and a knife held to my throat. I've been inside a building that was hit by a tornado, onboard a boat that sank, and on two planes that I was sure 100% were about to crash. I lived through three teenage daughters and I've been married over 30 years... in a row! When I'm not battling for truth, justice, and the American Way, I spend most of my free time, like every other middle-aged, overweight, native southerner, at the ice rink playing hockey.

You will learn how to communicate your brand's story intent and the responsibility of each critical touch point within every level of your organization, from the boardroom to the stockroom. The Buyer Legends process IS one of the final pieces of a complex puzzle that has been missing from most modern marketing efforts.Wouldn't you like to have an edge in turning your brand into a legend?"Having worked first hand with the Eisenbergs on mapping our customers' critical paths and creating scenario narratives, I can confidently say the Buyer Legends process works. My team's focus at Google is on acquiring SMB advertising clients. And if you've ever worked with these types of businesses, you know there is huge diversity through the spectrum of small and medium businesses. We'd miss opportunities and gaps by over-aggregating (i.e. taking too high level a view) though often the challenge was in effectively communicating our insights. The Buyer Legends framework allowed us to more effectively focus our efforts, improving the bottom line. And equally important, to make a more compelling case for change with our marketing, engineering and product colleagues."Paul JeszenszkyHead of Global B2B Digital Marketing Center of Excellence, Google"The most clear-headed and useful guide ever for developing relevant and resonant stories about your business."Jay BaerPresident, Convince & Convert"Buyer Legends introduced me to a structured process which uses storytelling techniques to align our brand story to our customers experiences. With so many of our customers having an unique experience every day on Airbnb, it is our task to collect and communicate a collective narrative in the Airbnb brand story. While the Airbnb storyboarding technique, as described in the introduction, gives a clear overview of the customers journey, the motives of our customers and their experiences are many. With global differences on how people travel, making their decision where to stay, and experience the more local hospitality Airbnb provides, Buyer Legends is the marketing tool which binds Persona's, storyboards and our brand story. This is a powerful combination."Dennis GoedegebuureHead of Global SEO, Airbnb
