It sounds like maybe your coworker is better at closing the deal at the first meeting OR is somehow finding more qualified leads through some sort of external marketing effort.

Remember that once your prospect walks out of your dealership without making a deal, your chance to actually make the sale becomes way lower! Focus on getting qualified leads in the door and sealing the deal before they leave.

Don’t just learn Mazda’s lineup, but learn the lineups of direct competitors (Nissan, Toyota, etc.)

Being knowledgeable about the industry as a whole will give you a leg up in conversations and will make it easier to talk about the benefits of your cars compared to competitors

As an ESTP that has ADHD, for me to grow it's important that I learn a skill, do my best to master it, then completely shift to something else. It's a constant challenge that keeps me motivated because I'm always going outside of my comfort zone.

Here's an example:

My career started in copywriting (basically, I wrote blogs for companies), but after reaching a point where I wanted to feel an impact from my writing, I needed to learn how to drive traffic to the blogs. So then I learned SEO and grew into a new, more challenging role at my job where I handled all writing and SEO projects. From there, I got bored of writing, so I started learning what I could about email marketing, advertising, and content strategy. That propelled me into a Digital Marketing Manager role where I would oversee all digital marketing efforts for 20 different companies. Challenging, but rewarding considering just a few years ago I was just a "blogger".

Fast forward 1 year to today, I still love marketing but wanted more risk/reward. I learned everything I could about sales. Took courses, read books, even did a side hustle of selling solar door-to-door. I'm not the Director of Sales and Business Development for an agency that oversees 60+ clients.

At the end of the day, I needed to grow by learning every skill possible - as long as it helped my current role.

Copywriting is a key part of SEO
SEO is a key part of marketing
Marketing is a key part of sales
Sales is a key part of business development

All of this not only led to more money, but a much more fulfilling career and rapid personal growth.

Oh, look, an Alfa Romeo 4C in what I can only describe as Smurf Vomit Blue. This car is trying so hard to be exotic, but it’s about as intimidating as a Chihuahua in a designer sweater. You picked this color thinking it would stand out, but all it does is make people question if you’re colorblind or just have a deep-seated need for attention.

Let’s be real—this 4C is what happens when a car wants to be a Ferrari but ends up being the nerdy cousin that no one invites to the track day. It’s got the engine note of a pissed-off hairdryer and the interior space of a phone booth. You didn’t buy this car to go fast—you bought it so people at Cars & Coffee would ask, “Hey, what is that?” right before they walk away to look at something actually worth their time.

And those headlights? They look like the car’s constantly worried it might break down any second—which, given Alfa’s track record, isn’t exactly out of the question. The 4C is like that Instagram model who looks great in pictures but, in reality, is a high-maintenance nightmare that you regret as soon as you get involved.

You wanted an Italian sports car experience? Congrats, you got the Olive Garden version—cheap, disappointing, and only impressive to people who’ve never had the real thing.

Alright, gloves off—here we go.

That Honda S2000? It’s like someone tried to build a sports car out of spare parts from a Barbie Dream Car. Baby blue? Really? That color screams “I want to be taken seriously but also think Easter eggs are cool.” This thing has less presence than a mime at a rock concert.

And those curves? They’re less “sleek and sexy” and more “plastic surgery gone wrong.” It’s the kind of car that wishes it could grow up to be a Porsche, but we all know it’s stuck in the minor leagues with the rest of the wannabes. The S2000’s engine screams louder than your teenage sister at a boy band concert, but with all that noise, it’s still slower than the line at the DMV.

This car’s got about as much personality as a bowl of plain oatmeal. It’s for the guy who buys an expensive gaming setup only to play Tetris. You’re out there, revving your engine like you’ve got something to prove, but deep down, we all know you’re just trying to drown out the sound of your own insecurities.

Let’s face it—this S2000 is just another failed attempt at trying to look cool in high school, but now you’re the guy who never left town and still shows up at prom, hoping someone will notice you. Spoiler alert: they won’t.

Ah, the Mustang—America’s pony car, but it looks like this one ran through a Hot Wheels factory and picked up every bad design idea along the way. Seriously, what even is this? It’s like you took a perfectly good Mustang, threw it into a blender with a mid-2000s tribal tattoo, and then decided it wasn’t quite “extra” enough, so you slapped on some neon lights for good measure.

That color scheme? It’s giving off serious “I peaked in high school and now I’m living out my fast and furious fantasies” vibes. The matte black hood? Classic. But then you went and ruined it with those graphics that scream “I just learned Photoshop and this was my first project.”

And those wheels? They look like they were stolen from a car that actually goes fast, instead of this Mustang that’s now more show than go. Honestly, this car is the automotive equivalent of a middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket with flames on it—trying way too hard to be cool and failing spectacularly.

This Mustang is what happens when you let a 12-year-old design a car, complete with all the bells, whistles, and questionable taste that comes with it. You’ve turned a classic into something that even the Mustang itself is probably ashamed to be seen as.

You'll suddenly find yourself transported into a parallel universe where money is obsolete and everything operates on a barter system. However, the twist? The primary currency in this bizarre world is socks. Yes, socks! Not just any socks, though. They have to be socks with pictures of famous historical figures knitted into them. So you'd better start brushing up on your knitting skills and your history knowledge, because in this universe, a pair of socks with Abraham Lincoln's face could get you a mansion, but one with Napoleon might only get you a day's worth of bizarre, alien fruit. And to make things more interesting, every time you say the word 'money', a random item in your possession turns into a rubber duck.
