JijiNg:
Hello Everyone,

We have observed that there are a lot of car dealers who may need some education or training in order to be a better car dealer or agent.
Many do not know they can sell more by only doing less. All it takes is to be more creative and most especially honest in your dealings.

If you go to the Jiji Platform for example, in order to sell your vehicles, there is often a small process to follow that will make your Ad attractive. We have made it so easy for you to upload your vehicles with all the necessary details in order to sell better. Some of those things are what we will be sharing now.

If you are in the business for the long term then this is for you but if you are looking to at short term and quick profit then this may not be for you; How To Be An Effective Car Dealer.
Today, we have decided to share some of the things you can do to grow your customer base, get loyalty and earn trust.

Lets start:

1. Create a template response.
Most car dealers are so lazy they just want quick money.
When an inquiry is been made about vehicles, all they can answer swiftly is the price and not vehicle details.
Some may say there are too many inquiries from customers but if this is your line of thought then you have no business selling vehicles.

To make it easier, create a template response. When you get a brief from a vehicle owner or a fellow car dealer, dont be so quick to post, get the details.

We imagine that you have this sort of template below:

---
Customer:
"Good afternoon, I am interested in your 2006 Camry. May I know the last price please?"

Agent:
Hello,
Thank you for your interest.

Year: 2007
Brand: Lexus
Model: ES350
Color: White
VIN: 4567THEKFHFKDHFKD
Rust: None
Accidented: Yes

Final price: 2M

C Number: 56HGFSK

Kindly let me know when you are coming if you are interested.
---

Honestly, if any customer ask further questions other than information above, then you may have justification to react passively but even at that, a customer is a customer.
Most agents are so lazy, that they have no details of the vehicle.

DelTel:
[@JijiNg, how I wish nairaland car dealers are open enough to reveal stuffs your article suggested, this section will be filled with good deals but greed won't allow them do so.

I don't think it's greed, it's pure ignorance and illiteracy. The customer you lied to, sold a lemon vehicle/product/service, won't come back when next he/she needs another; and/or refer you to potential customers with their cycle of influence.

Customers are getting more enlightened day-by-day, if a particular BCD doesn't provide full disclosure, some other will.

Market margins are shrinking due to some factors as well.


If not, what will jiji be doing on Nairaland
