I just read Joe Girard's "How to Sell Anything to Anybody" and I'm wondering how the hell this guy sold 5 or 6 cars a day. Is that even possible nowadays?...did him being in Detroit have anything to do with those numbers?? I'm completely dumbfounded by those numbers....the most I've ever seen from a busy dealership is 30 cars from one salesperson. What gives?

Back then they didn't have all the paperwork or delivery expectations. Plus he worked on appointment. Referrals past customers are easier to close. Didn't he have a helper as well?
Ya, I posted this before I finished the last chapter. That seems a little misleading, but then again they did come in specifically to see him. So my question is now, is it possible nowadays to have that kind of situation? Does keeping in touch with your sold customers bring in that much business? This book was written before the "Do Not Call List" , so is cold calling out of the question now? Is $50 enough for a "bird dog"?......is that a 1977 figure or a 2014 figure? Should we keep in touch with e-mail instead?
