Car Brokers

Car brokers: Turn every seller inquiry into a consignment agreement.

A private seller who leaves their contact information to sell their car expects a prompt, clear follow-up. Your agents can practice this call with a simulated seller: asking about the vehicle, the seller’s expected price, and explaining the consignment agreement in simple terms.

An agent makes a call in a dealership lot, with a used car parked behind him.

How it works

  1. 01

    Choose a call to practice

    He left his contact information this morning to sell his station wagon. He’s in a hurry and wants to know how much he’ll get.

  2. 02

    Set a goal

    Learn about the vehicle, the seller’s expected price, and their timeline, then schedule an inspection.

  3. 03

    Review your wording

    Did you find out the mileage, service history, and expected price, and schedule an inspection for a specific date without quoting a firm price?

What does a call in your industry sound like?

He left his contact information this morning to sell his station wagon. He’s in a hurry and wants to know how much he’ll get.

The customer says, “How much can you offer me?” Here’s one possible response.

“To give you a reliable price, I have three quick questions. How many miles does it have, and do you have the service records?”

Which objections should you practice?

The ones your team hears every week. The simulated customer raises them at the right moment, based on their mood and what you say.

  • “I’m selling on my own. It’s free.”
  • “A website will buy the car and pay me tomorrow.”
  • “Your commission is too high.”
  • “Give me a firm offer right now.”
  • “I don’t want to be locked into a consignment agreement.”

Which calls should you practice first?

Three common situations, each with a specific goal.

  • Call back a seller who filled out the “Sell my car” form this morning. Goal: learn about the vehicle and schedule an inspection for a specific date.
  • Respond to a seller considering an immediate buyout. Goal: honestly compare the net amount and timeline, then let her decide.
  • Reassure a seller who is selling on their own and receiving questionable offers. Goal: explain how buyers are screened and how payment is secured.

What limitations should you know about?

The simulated seller doesn’t know vehicle market values, so don’t use the simulation to determine a price. Give the scenario verified details about your listing agreement. The people and vehicles are fictional.

The call report is a learning aid that analyzes the call transcript. It doesn’t guarantee any results on your real calls.
