EP022: - Summer on the Showroom Floor -- John Gavin & Bagi

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2243647/fan_mail/new] In this episode we are joined by John Gavin & Bagi Sponsored By:  Zenzio AI https://www.zenzio.com Summer's the busiest stretch in the car business — and the easiest one to blow if you're not working smart. Bagi and John Gavin break down what actually moves the needle when the lot heats up: hunting deals in the service drive, ditching the old-school games for real transparency, and being ready for today's customer who already knows the invoice, the incentives, and what their trade is worth before they ever shake your hand. The buyer changed. Did you? True Confessions of a Car Guy — Dealers, Hustlers & Lifers.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2243647/fan_mail/new]  On The Road takes True Confessions out of the studio and onto the floor. John Gavin and Richard Luciano visit working dealerships in real time — showrooms, used car lots, the desk — to see how business is actually flowing. Bagi produces from the ground as it happens. You hear the deals, the pace, the read on whether the store is hot or dead, straight from the people living it. Raw, unfiltered, the way the car business really runs. For dealers, hustlers and lifers.

EP021: - The Glue -- John Gavin & Richard Luciano

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2243647/fan_mail/new] In this episode we are joined by John Gavin & Richard Luciano Sponsored By:  Zenzio AI https://www.zenzio.com Some salespeople don't close deals — they hold people in place until it happens. In the car business, they had a name for it. And the guy who perfected it had customers leaving deposits in microwaves, shop vacs, and floor-model TVs. That was just Tuesday. Then a woman slides a men's Rolex across the desk to hold a car — and a week later, a very calm, very motivated ex-husband calls looking for it. Turns out that watch had a whole history. And now so did the dealership. Bagi, John & Richard break it down.

This Needed to Be Said -- John Gavin & Richard Luciano

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2243647/fan_mail/new] There are stories from the car business that never get told. Not because they aren't real — but because nobody thought anyone would care. We do. True Confessions of a Car Guy is a podcast built around the people, the deals, and the moments that shaped an era of automotive retail that most people never saw — and that those who lived it will never forget. Hosted by John Gavin, with co-host Richard Luciano, and produced by Bagi — the man bringing it all to life — this show is for the guys who were there, and anyone who wants to know what it was really like. This needed to be said. So we said it. 🎙️ New episodes dropping soon. 🌐 trueconfessionsofacarguy.com 📩 confessionsofacarguy@gmail.com #carguy   #Podcast #AutomotiveRetail #CarBusiness #TrueConfessions #DealerLife #CarSales #WholesaleCars #JohnGavin #RichardLuciano #CarDealership #OldSchool #Automotive #PodcastLaunch #CarGuys
