The Sleeping Buyer
The Untapped Advertising Opportunity
A Secret Society Of Dealers Is Using To Double Traffic, Leads And Sales
These days growing your dealership ain't easy.
It seems like you and all of your competitors are fighting over the same sliver of the population who are shopping for a new or used vehicle right now.
Everyone's scrambling. Trying to beat each other to every lead, fighting to stock the "perfect" cars, and wrestling each other in a race to the bottom by pricing every vehicle lower and lower until there's no money left to make.
But if you're a dealer or general manager who is REALLY interested in selling more cars NEXT MONTH, and you're actively working to grow your business, then we have a little-known solution just for you.
It will deliver more traffic, more leads and more sales by giving you a real competitive advantage in your market. It will also help you create better customers who happily pay more, come back more often and refer their friends and family.
Here's The Good News
This strategy isn't complicated. It's a lot easier than most of the product-and-price "opportunities" being pushed as best practices by industry experts, ad agencies and manufacturer-approved vendor "partners."
All it takes is one simple change to how you position yourself and your dealership in your marketing, and who you choose to target.
Businessman and philanthropist W. Clement Stone said, "Big doors swing on little hinges." But don't take our word for it.

Quadrupled His Business, And Kept On Growing
When Jef in rural Missouri started experimenting with this advertising strategy, something incredible happened. He had three record-breaking years in a row. Fast-forward to today, and his dealership has gone from selling 30 to 40 cars a month to regularly selling over 200 vehicles month after month.
“We just closed the books on the BIGGEST sales $, Gross $, Net $, and new car units sold month on record for us!”Jef, Missouri
So What's The One Thing?
The Sleeping Buyer strategy lets you tap into a much LARGER pool of prospects that most other dealerships are completely IGNORING.
Most dealers are programmed to go after a tiny part of the market. In any area, roughly 2% of the population is actively shopping for a car at any given time. Conventional wisdom says spend your time, energy and money chasing them.
Here's what they're missing. The BIGGEST opportunity in the car business is learning how to craft your message and focus your marketing on the other 98%. We call them Sleeping Buyers. When your marketing speaks to them, you control your market.
The Miracle Of The Car Business
In most industries, spending money on people who aren't in the market would be a complete waste. Who buys a water heater or a garage door opener when the one they have works fine? Nobody.
But the car business is different. Everyone wants a Nicer, Newer® car than the one they're driving now, no matter how long they've had it.
People care about the car they drive. Their neighbors see it. Their co-workers see them pull up in it. Their friends and family ride in it. A car is part of who we are, and it gives us opportunity, freedom and hope.
So just because someone hasn't decided this is the time to get a nicer, newer vehicle doesn't mean they can't be motivated by a smart, helpful dealer who takes the time to understand what's holding them back, and shows them how to get the better car today instead of someday.
