Back in my second home (my car) for the drive up to the Wilkie factory in Kirriemuir, just north of Dundee. I was just thinking how I’ve been very lucky to have customers that have worked with me for many years. In several cases, they’ve moved with me when I’ve changed company multiple times. I’m always impressed with the leap of faith customers take when they do this. It’s hugely rewarding for me - knowing that I must be doing something right! More so, they often say things like “we know we can trust you” or “we’ve never worked with this company before, but now you’re there it’s different”. Being a salesman, words like trust don’t come that easy. I’m so grateful for those customers who’ve done this over the years. They know full well that I don’t always have all the answers, but they also know that I won’t just say anything to get the sale. I’ll go away and work hard behind the scenes to find out. In sales it’s always about relationships and if you want sales for the long term, it’s something that’s built, not snatched #sales #customers #business #trust #industry #textiles #composites

After college, I took a job in Chicago with Golf Mill Ford. They sell more Fords than any other dealer in the Midwest.? I've been competitive since I was kid. Remember those grade school fundraisers? I would do everything I could to sell the most calendars. And I usually did. That competitive streak came in handy at Golf Mill Ford. Everybody there worked hard, and the expectations were very high. As the new guy and one of the youngest of the 35 sales consultants (I was 23), I wanted to prove to myself that I could compete at that level. I did. When you sell your first car at Golf Mill Ford, they cut your tie. I still remember making that first sale. And over the 2.5 years I spent at Golf Mill, I sold a lot more cars, consistently finishing in the top 5 in terms of monthly sales and excellent customer satisfaction scores. And of course, I learned a lot about how to sell cars: ? how to sell to people by understanding their wants & needs ? how to build rapport & create lasting relationships ? how to ask more questions and truly listen ? how people want to be treated ? the importance of balancing competitiveness with empathy. By the time I came back to St. Louis to join my dad at Suntrup Ford Westport after 2.5 years in Chicago, I knew a lot about how to sell cars. I also saw sales and empathy going hand-in-hand. I tried to put myself in my customer's shoes. Of course I wanted to close deals, but only the right deals. Numbers mean nothing if a customer walks away feeling upset or confused. I only want to sell you a vehicle if it is a good fit for your situation. That attitude has helped me sell more vehicles over my career. But it's also helped create more happy customers. Both of those things are important to me.

How did your journey into 'work' or 'career' start? I had no idea that by 34 I would be nearly 15 years deep into a career in Sales!! It feels weird saying career to be honest, as I always thought they were deliberate...but here I am. Mine started when I secured a field sales role with Camelot and spent something lovely years in an incredible team (pictured) It set me up perfectly, and those strong foundations have paved the way to where I am today...here are a few things I learned: ? Remember the Human Touch: ? People may not always remember what you do, but they will remember how you made them feel ? The Power of Positivity: ? Setbacks will occur, don't be deterred. I quickly learned that the way I held myself, my smile, and my demeanor built rapport and helped with conversion ? Be strategic: ? Understanding my territory and objectives meant I could switch things up to get the best results For me, in sales, people buy from people first and foremost. Can you remember this?

From Mattresses to Supercars -- Meet our VP of Sales,?Reid Garcia! We took some time to interview Reid about his career journey in sales and how he ended up at Xtreme Xperience. Here's what he had to say? ?? About Reid? I grew up in St. Louis and moved to Chicago after college. I'm passionate about sports—both playing and watching. I wrestled for 14 years and still enjoy fitness (just not running!). I met my wife of 7 years on New Year's Eve in Wrigleyville. She’s a high school teacher, and we love traveling during the summer. You might even see her at a summer tour stop helping out the XX team. ?? His Career Path? My interest in business started in high school with DECA. At Mizzou, I majored in Business Management and minored in Hotel and Restaurant Management. After college, I joined Save a Lot's district management training program, which brought me to Chicago. Though I loved the city, the program wasn’t the right fit. I spent the next few years exploring different roles and discovered my passion for sales, eventually managing a store for Chicago’s largest mattress company and selling over $1.5 million annually. ??? Joining Xtreme Xperience? I wanted to sell something fun and exciting, which is exactly what I found with Xtreme Xperience—driving supercars on the racetrack! I also wanted to work for a smaller company where I wasn’t just a number. XX offered that perfect opportunity. ?? What Sets XX Apart? The dynamic nature of our company is incredible. We can make decisions and implement them quickly without endless meetings and red tape. Teamwork is also a huge part of our success. The challenges and wild nature of what we do require a great team, and that’s what we have at XX. ?? Looking Ahead? I’m thrilled about the future of the motorsports industry. With the popularity of shows like Netflix’s "Drive to Survive" and other motorsports series, there’s never been more interest in our field. New racetracks are being built, and fan engagement is at an all-time high. This growth presents exciting opportunities for Xtreme Xperience to expand and reach new heights.

There’s one thing Car Sales taught me that I will always be grateful for… Being able to take rejection, criticism (or dogs abuse ??), failure and set-backs but keep putting one foot in front of the other. Developing an ‘it is what it is’ mentality. ?? happens. Deal with it and move on. Big up my fellow frontline soldiers ?????? #carsales #mindset

Learn the customer before selling a product: Marketing is how you connect the product with future demand, while the selling is connecting the current demand. When a marketeer analyse the case like a layer, he find lots of loop holes to be fixed in the customer's demand. He can temporarily fill the holes with current product while provisioning for the growing and forecasting demands. #marketing #art #promotion #selling #demand #supply #customer #retention #growth #future #motivation #business
