Ali Reda: Is selling 100 cars a month still possible?

In this episode of The Dealer Playbook, host Michael welcomes Ali Reda, the world's top-performing car sales professional. Yes, you read that right! Instead of a traditional interview format, Michael presents exclusive audio from a monthly office hours call for clients only, featuring Ali Reda and other dealers asking him questions.

Is selling 100 cars a month still possible? In today's digital age, it can be easy to get caught up in the hype of lead generation and social media ads, but the truth is, selling cars is still very much a people business. Building relationships within your community and properly training your sales team are keys to success.

In this episode, we explore the mindset and tactics needed to reach the milestone of selling 100 cars a month. As Ali mentions, many in the industry may think that 30 sales a month is the limit, but he himself has broken through that barrier and even reached a record of 209 sales in one month.

One key aspect that he emphasizes is the importance of a good coach and mindset. He mentions Damian, his coach, who helped teach him the mindset needed to achieve success. The two even wrote a book together on the topic, entitled "How to Sell a Hundred Cars," (which can be found here), and is a quick, valuable read that focuses on getting back to the basics of patience, starting over, and relaxing to let things come to you.

Another important aspect Ali talks about is the dealership process. As Ali points out, even if you have the best digital and social media marketing strategies in place, if you don't have a solid process for handling leads and giving customers a positive experience, you will not be able to reach the level of success you desire. This is where the longevity of a career in car sales comes in, as building relationships with customers is what leads to repeat business and long-term success.

It's also important to remember that not every lead will turn into a sale, and it's crucial to have a plan for handling and retaining those leads that don't buy a car. Focusing on building relationships with customers in your community and providing excellent customer service will lead to word-of-mouth recommendations and repeat business.

In short, selling 100 cars a month is still possible, but it requires a shift in mindset and a focus on building relationships and properly training your sales team. Focus on building each salesperson within their own community. With the right approach, you can achieve your sales goals and grow your dealership for the long term.

During this interview, Ali shares his story and provides real-world, tangible advice about how to build a business within the business. Pay attention if you want to sell 100 cars or more per month!
