For John Bening, the biggest part of running a successful
automobile dealership is knowing how to secure a sale while building a
relationship with a customer. That’s why John Bening ran for the position of
National Automotive Dealers Association 20 Group Chairman, and that’s why he
won.
John Bening believes strongly in sales education, and using
the collective resources of an industry to better profits through bettering
sales techniques. As chairman of the National Automotive Dealers Association 20
Group, John Bening puts together meetings, workshops, seminars, and literature
for distribution with the intention of helping car dealers throughout the
United States improve their profits through improving their sales. This
material focuses on best practices in the industry, and proven methods of securing
sales. John Bening says that it’s especially useful for businesses with a staff of primarily inexperienced salespeople,
but that established businesses can benefit from increased education as well.
John Bening suggests that while
some sales skills are, of course, inherent and depend on personality and
interpersonal aptitudes, many skills can be taught, or at least improved
through instruction in the most effective techniques in speaking, framing a
sales pitch, and using body language and tone to influence a customer.
According to John Bening, the proof of the pudding is, as they say, in the
eating. John Bening reports that members of the National Automotive Dealers
Association 20 Group make up to a whopping 30% more than competitors who aren’t
members after just one year of membership and training attendance within the
organization.
It’s certainly hard to argue with John Bening’s 25 years of
experience as an owner and operator of multiple auto dealerships in southeast
Missouri. John Bening owns four dealerships: two Ford franchises, one Mazda
franchise, and an independent dealership of pre-owned cars, trucks, and SUVs
that has been in business since 1987.
