E7 - Grow Revenue When Leads Slow Down

When install leads slow down, too many dealers sit around waiting for the phone to ring. But the best operators know there is already revenue sitting inside the business. Existing customers, maintenance plans, monitoring, batteries, repairs, upgrades, and declined estimates are all opportunities if the right process is in place. Chris walks through how dealers can stop treating service like a transaction and start building it into a real revenue engine. This episode covers why your customer list is a gold mine, why monthly service plans create better stability, how to sell trust and peace of mind instead of oil changes, and why monitoring should be part of every dealer’s service strategy. If lead flow is slower right now, this episode is for you. Stop waiting for more leads and start working the revenue you already have. Stop blaming the leads and start building revenue through service.

E6 - Sell More Units with Payment Options

Too many dealers are still presenting one big number, watching the customer hesitate, and then blaming price, the lead, or the market. The reality is that most customers don’t need a cheaper option. They need a clearer way to make the decision. Chris shares his personal experience with payments, where they helped him win more deals, where he struggled with them early on, and how dealers should be using payment options throughout the entire sales process. This episode covers how to introduce payments before the appointment, how to present them during the in-home consultation, and how to use them after the appointment when the customer doesn’t say yes right away. If you’re selling generators and not making payment options a consistent part of your process, this episode is for you. Stop blaming the leads and start helping customers find a way to say yes.
