10 questions
Maximum score: 100
Completed in
Let's get straight to the point: your performance in this assessment was not up to par. An average score of 3.1 shows significant room for improvement. You're clearly capable of engaging with customers, but your responses often lack the depth and confidence needed to effectively address their concerns. You touched on some good points—like offering a money-back guarantee and acknowledging customer questions—but those moments were overshadowed by vague answers and a lack of preparation.
A consistent pattern here is your struggle to elaborate on the value of your offerings. Instead of simply stating facts or providing incomplete answers, you need to dive deeper. What does a 270-point inspection really mean for the customer? How do your financing options alleviate their budget concerns? These are just a few areas where you can enhance your approach. Additionally, your tone needs to shift towards empathy and understanding; this will help build rapport and trust.
To improve, I suggest you focus on practicing the Solution Selling technique. It will help you articulate the long-term value of your products and address customer pain points more effectively. Also, studying the consultative selling approach will enable you to ask better questions and engage in meaningful conversations with your prospects.
Remember, every customer interaction is a chance to build a relationship. Take this as a coaching moment: don’t just aim to sell; aim to understand and serve your customers. When you make them feel valued and understood, you’ll not only close more deals but also build a loyal customer base. Now, get out there and turn this around!
Question Breakdown

/ 10Question:
"I see similar vehicles at a lower price point from competitors; how can you justify the difference?"
Answer:
You are 100% correct. At my dealership we do a 270 point inspection to make sure our car is top notch before selling it
Feedback:
While you acknowledged the prospect's concern, your response lacks depth and fails to effectively justify the price difference. Mentioning the 270-point inspection is a good start, but you need to elaborate on how this inspection adds value and differentiates your vehicles. Consider addressing additional benefits, such as quality assurance, reliability, or post-sale support. This would enhance your value proposition and align better with the prospect's needs. Also, using a tone that expresses understanding and empathy could strengthen your rapport with the customer.

/ 10Question:
"I'm concerned about the long-term value of this car compared to my current vehicle; what evidence do you have?"
Answer:
Not sure
Feedback:
Your response is not effective at all. Simply stating 'Not sure' demonstrates a lack of preparation and confidence in addressing the prospect's concern. You need to develop a response that highlights the long-term value of the car, possibly by discussing its features, reliability, resale value, warranty, or positive customer testimonials. This is an opportunity to engage in a conversation that builds trust and addresses the prospect's specific worries.
Consider asking follow-up questions to understand the prospect's current vehicle better and tailor your response accordingly. This will show them that you are attentive to their needs and can provide relevant information.

/ 10Question:
"The budget for this project is tight, and I’m not sure if this fits without affecting other allocations."
Answer:
I understand mr customer. Let me ask you this. What is more important to you. Price or Cost?
Feedback:
Your response shows an attempt to engage the customer by asking a question, which is a good start. However, it lacks substance and fails to directly address the customer's concern about their budget constraints. Instead of simply asking whether price or cost is more important, provide insight into how your vehicle can be a valuable investment in the long run. You could highlight financing options, cost savings on maintenance, or fuel efficiency to alleviate their budget concerns. Furthermore, using a more empathetic tone can help in building rapport and trust with the customer.
Consider following up with questions that help you understand their specific budgetary limitations or previous experiences with budget constraints. This will demonstrate your active listening and willingness to find a solution that works for them.

/ 10Question:
"Can you assure me that your financing terms won't impact our monthly cash flow negatively?"
Answer:
Thats a great question. Lets have a sit and write some info down so we can show you our very affordable options.
Feedback:
Your response acknowledges the prospect's question, which is a positive step. However, it lacks specific details and reassurance regarding financing terms. Instead of suggesting a meeting without providing concrete information, you should address their concern directly by outlining key financing options, such as interest rates, payment plans, or potential savings compared to their current financial situation. This would demonstrate your understanding of their needs and provide them with the reassurance they’re seeking. Additionally, a more confident and empathetic tone would help build trust with the customer.

/ 10Question:
"I need to get approval from my partner, and they’re hesitant about spending this much on a car right now."
Answer:
Not sure
Feedback:
Your response is inadequate and shows a lack of preparedness to address this common concern. Simply stating 'Not sure' fails to engage the prospect or provide any reassurance. Instead, you should acknowledge their hesitation and offer to help facilitate the conversation with their partner. You could provide additional information about the car's value, financing options, or even suggest a reason why this investment could benefit both of them long-term. Demonstrating empathy and understanding toward their situation would enhance your rapport and show that you’re invested in helping them make the right decision.
Consider asking follow-up questions to uncover what specific concerns their partner might have, as this would allow you to tailor your response accordingly.

/ 10Question:
"What happens if I face issues with the car shortly after purchase? Do you provide sufficient support for that?"
Answer:
We are so confident of our product that we give money back guaranteed if car issues within 30 days.
Feedback:
Your response addresses the prospect's concern by offering a money-back guarantee, which is a strong selling point. However, it lacks detail about the support process beyond the 30-day window and what customers can expect if they encounter issues afterward. Expanding on the types of support available, such as warranty coverage, customer service availability, or repair services, would provide more reassurance to the customer. Additionally, using a more empathetic tone could enhance your connection with the customer, showing that you genuinely care about their experience and concerns.

/ 10Question:
"I prefer to stick with my current car since it's been reliable; why should I consider switching now?"
Answer:
Because you can take advantage of the conditions of the current car and get some equity out of it before its late, and you can get this newer vehicle for a super low payment and peace of mind with our warranty.
Feedback:
Your response presents some valid points about equity and low payments, which are relevant to the prospect's situation. However, it lacks a deeper exploration of their emotional connection to their current vehicle and does not fully address the reliability concern. To strengthen your response, consider asking questions about what specific features or aspects of their current car they value the most. Additionally, emphasize the benefits of the newer vehicle in terms of safety, technology, fuel efficiency, or cost savings, which could enhance its appeal. A more empathetic tone could also help build rapport with the prospect.

/ 10Question:
"There are several features I need that are standard in competitor models; how do you address that?"
Answer:
Based on your requirements our model has everything you wanted and better powertrain. Less worries for you
Feedback:
Your response attempts to address the prospect's concern by stating that your model has everything they want and a better powertrain, which is a positive start. However, it lacks specific details about the features that are standard in competitor models and how your offering not only meets but exceeds those expectations. To strengthen your response, consider explicitly listing the features they are concerned about and addressing how your vehicle provides additional value. This could include performance, technology, warranty, or even customer service. Additionally, a more engaging and empathetic tone could help build rapport with the prospect, demonstrating that you genuinely understand their needs and are invested in finding the right solution for them.

/ 10Question:
"Given the current economic climate, is now really the right time for such a purchase?"
Answer:
The right time is always today.
Feedback:
Your response is overly simplistic and doesn't adequately address the customer's concern about the economic climate. While it's good to have confidence in your product, you should provide more context or evidence to support why it's a great time to purchase. Consider discussing potential savings, incentives, or long-term value that make now a beneficial time for the customer. Acknowledging their concerns about the economy and expressing empathy can also help build rapport.

/ 10Question:
"I’ve had a few bad experiences in the past with car sales; how can I trust that this time will be different?"
Answer:
We have been in business for over 25 years. Our reputation speaks for itself.
Feedback:
Your response highlights your experience and reputation, which is a good point to make. However, it lacks a personal touch and doesn't directly address the prospect's specific concerns about their past experiences. To build trust, consider sharing specific examples of how you've positively impacted customers in the past or offering testimonials from satisfied clients. Additionally, acknowledging their concerns and expressing empathy could help to foster a stronger connection and reassure them that their experience will be different this time. Asking follow-up questions about their previous experiences could also provide insights into how you can better meet their needs.
