Today, we were talking about how to set appointments that stick and show.
I know when you're in the car business and you're working hard and you're doing the things you need to do. You have this pressure to set appointments daily, yet you can't get them to stick… they are not showing. I want to explain to you some of the reasons why that happens, and I want to give you a couple of things that will solidify, making sure that your show ratio is higher than it currently is and gets you to that 50/50 show to close ratio.
As we venture into this topic of appointments, I think that most of you listening may be very familiar with where you should be, but I need you to understand that you should have a 25% set appointment ratio to contact. Communication, a two-way communication. You should be setting 25% of those calls to be making appointments, of that 50% should show and 50% should close. Now it's critical to understand those metrics because part of the solution of getting appointments to stick and show is you got to know where you're at. So let's dive in!
