We're really all just trying to connect with people in life. Whether you're selling cars, houses, boats, etc. it's not the product that matters but rather the people that make the difference. At Bedard Bros. Auto Sales, Inc. you'll rarely find us posting about the cars, the savings, the rebates or any of the nonsense. Why? Because that doesn't make us special. None of that makes others special either. Do you really want to buy from discount or rebate or do you want to buy from someone you trust and have a connection with? What makes us special is our people. Bedard Bros. Auto Sales, Inc. is in an industry with an incredible amount of turnover yet we have very little. We also have very high customer retention. This is because for us people come first. When we make decisions our first thought is how it impacts our staff and our customers. The numbers come later. #people #employees #team #automotive #itshardtobeatbedard

Top-selling brands have their founder as their 1st salesperson. But 99% of Drinks Founders I talk to don't wanna sell. You can only delegate sales after you've done it. You must lead the cavalry. Rejections hurt. Learn from it. Back on the horse. Brands are built bottom-up. For more info, deep dive into the article below

⚡Client Testimonial⚡Love, Love, Love these guys and their business! Whenever I get a chance to work with a local brick and mortar I always say yes. Not only did I get the opportunity to come into a thriving business already, but I got to help two businesses at once.   Matthew Hexter runs Evergood Adventure Wines and is the operator and Vintner and his wife Melanie Hexter runs The Lemon Lodge Ski Bar. Two VERY awesome businesses that are rocking it out of the park.   🕺 It was so much fun working with them and I even got to bottle wine during one of the 3 days I spent with them. Do you know what they needed? Fresh perspectives and perspectives from a 30,000 foot viewpoint. I saw it within a matter of hours going through their model. We made a small shift in thinking and operations and BAM! Instant increase in revenue!   I love these two company owners and I am so glad I met them and am able to help them this year. The lesson here is this. Don’t be too:   👺 Arrogant to ask for some help   🤯 Proud to ask for some help   🛠 Hardheaded to change   🙉 Afraid to hear things you have avoided   🤝 Afraid to let someone else into your business   If any of these, are you, PLEASE, put these things aside and let someone help you. Doesn’t need to be me but let someone in to have that 30,000 foot look at your company, operations and model. Don’t be satisfied with your own BS that you are telling yourself!   If your business could be better with LESS WORK, why wouldn’t you want that for yourself and your family? Today I give you the opportunity to stop the madness.   DM me and let’s chat!   Go Be Awesome!!
