Meet Jessica Colon @jcolon@citykia.com | City Kia of Greater Orlando has raced to the top 3 Kia stores in the country! She's amazing! A top performer! 🥇💯

In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary journey of a remarkable individual who has ascended to the pinnacle of the automotive world as the best Business Development Center (BDC) manager, in my opinion. With a track record of orchestrating the seamless collaboration between sales and BDC teams, she effortlessly drives an astonishing 450 to 500 units per month, with BDC accounting for 50% of sales ignition.

From the bustling streets of New York to the sunny shores of Florida, she has spearheaded a phenomenal growth spurt of over 120% in business. Through her candid narrative, she reveals the challenges of navigating the BDC landscape without prior experience, shedding light on her mindset for fostering growth and nurturing a fresh team that has flourished into management positions and even ownership.

She shares insights on leveraging CRM tools to enhance customer experiences, the importance of modernizing pay plans to optimize results, and the pivotal role of team bonuses in fueling motivation for both sales and BDC members. By fostering a culture of collaboration and communication, she has bridged the gap between the two teams, emphasizing the significance of precise processes and sales examples in driving success.

With a keen focus on the sales process and key aspects that catalyze successful transactions, she underscores the importance of equity mining tools and leveraging service opportunities to bolster sales and forge lasting customer relationships. By involving BDC in sales meetings and weekend spiffs, she ensures that every team member plays a pivotal role in the collective success of the dealership.

Through her leadership and unwavering dedication to excellence, she has earned the respect of the sales desk, emphasizing the value of patience over discounts to improve gross margins and enhance the overall sales experience.

Join us as we unravel the secrets behind building a championship team, the importance of consistent communication, and the art of transforming service opportunities into loyal customer relationships. Leadership lessons abound as we dissect the playbook for success in the competitive world of automotive sales.
