It\u2019s peak selling season in the powersports industry. And that also means it powersports training season. Are you ready? You\u2019ve checked off product inventory on your lot, scheduled new marketing and refreshed your parts department.

Shifting product offerings, changing consumer concerns, and emerging ways to leverage data are all factors\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efgcompanies.com\/who-we-serve\/for-powersports-dealers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">powersports dealers<\/a> need to keep in mind as they empower their teams for success.

A savvy powersports dealer knows better. In this largely recreational market, smart sales teams focus on a needs-based approach designed to meet the customer\u2019s goals. Focus your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efgcompanies.com\/services\/training-services\/methodology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">training<\/a> on understanding your customers\u2019 needs, wants, and goals and you\u2019ll increase your chance for the sale.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure your team understands the importance of repeat business to their own pay plan \u2013 whether for the sale of a new unit or important maintenance and service. Building a relationship takes time and should be cultivated through numerous touch points. Every person on the team plays a role.<\/p>\n<h4>F&amp;I Can Keep That Vehicle on the Road<\/h4>\n<p>By their nature, recreational vehicles demand good maintenance habits. Nothing is more disappointing than a vacation spoiled by a dead or broke-down unit. Good relationship selling puts consumer protection products front and center \u2013 either at the time of sale or on the service drive.
