Ask leading and difcult questions with confdence
Selling is all about discovery and delivery
We have been looking at the importance of asking questions, the right questions in the right order for the right reasons that generate the right results. It’s impossible to be in sales or customer service and not ask questions. Sales is all about discovery and delivery. We discover the customer’s wants questions, and rapport-building questions. A true counter intelligence professional gathers the right information via the right questions that make the closing questions almost automatic, right? As a former counter intelligence professional, I preferred to ask, “Are you going to be leaving your car with us today? It was a bit of a double

Tink for a minute how many questions are required for a simple oil change, starting with, “How may I help you today?” entendre. I was actually asking two questions, “Am I going to get the sale?” and “Will you be waiting By Wayne Williams here or picking your car up later?” I’d like to ofer some leading questions/comments that we all use and perhaps a few we don’t. Tese
I was always amazed by the number of customers arriving at the sales counter having pre-diagnosed their vehicle’s problem, and then amazed at the questions they asked. Customers traditionally ask, “How much is it to ...?” or “How much do you get for ...?” You can fll in the blanks. Tey also like to use words such as “small” and “easy” and “only,” as if fxing a “small” electrical problem is “easy.” Don’t all problems start small? Tese questions are usually followed by my all-time favorite question and comment. Te most dangerous question asked by a customer at a retail counter is, “Can I ask you a simple question?” And my favorite comment follows it, “My mechanic says ...” I must now confess, the questions I always wanted to respond with, “What’s your mechanic’s name, and what are you doing here?” Well, people are funny and questions are important! I’d like to ofer some encouraging solutions you can use when asking the toughest two questions in our industry, starting with closing-type questions (asking for the sale). And the last point is the question we all hate to ask.. but frst, the closing questions. are closing questions/comments as we atempt to assume the sale.
• When would you like to pick up your car? • What is the best number to reach you? • May I have your keys? • We can get started on it right away. • We should be able to complete the work today. • Our services are guaranteed unconditionally for 90 days. • Don’t forget we ofer nationwide warranty coverage. • My technicians are especially good at these types of jobs. • Te technician working on your car is one of my best. • It’s your lucky day. My best alignment guy is here, and we just had the alignment machine re-calibrated. As you confdently assume the sale, you also will be building the customer’s confdence. With this confdence, moving forward, you can ask the most difcult question we ask at the retail sales counter, the question that is make or break, “Were you completely happy with the service we provided today?” If you have the confdence to ask this question over and over each and every day with each and

I also received some advice from a fellow salesman, “Go ask ‘em what they want and get it to ‘em.” So I did.

Autopromotec 2015
China makes its presence felt on the trade show foor
By Bob Ulrich
The diferences between Autopromotec in Bologna, Italy, and the trade shows in Las Vegas during Automotive Afermarket Industry Week are both subtle and dramatic. Autopromotec, which is known as a trade “fair,” covers nearly 1.7 million square feet at the Bologna Trade Fair Center. Tat makes it physically larger than the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show and Automotive Afermarket Products Expo combined. Yet it has fewer exhibitors.
“Te buildings at Autopromotec are much more spread out, which gives the impression that there are fewer people at the fair,” said Freda Prat-Boyer, president of the Tire Industry Association, which hosts the Global Tire Expo at the SEMA Show. “But on the other hand, it gives the exhibitors plenty of room and helps to promote the image of the vendor.”
All the shows are global in nature, and cater to industry buyers. While Autopromotec skews to Italian companies, a record 663 of the 1,587 exhibitors represented countries outside Italy at this year’s trade fair. The total number of exhibitors was up 12% compared to 2013 (Autopromotec is held every two years).
According to Emanuele Vicentini, brand manager for Autopromotec, the event could be even larger.
Of the 47 countries represented by exhibitors at Autopromotec this year, China had the second-most number of booths. Te U.S., with help from the Italian Trade Commission, was sixth or
“The challenge we will be facing now is to stay true to our commitments and work to enhance internationalization of the Autopromotec brand,” said Autopromotec Brand Manager Emanuele Vicentini. This was his ffth Autopromotec.
seventh, says Vicentini. “China overtook Germany for the frst time. In the tire sector, China has taken more of a leading role.” Despite intermitent rain over the course of the fve-day event, atendance increased 1.4% to 103,989 visitors. Te number of international atendees was up 9% versus Autopromotec 2013.
At the Kenda Industrial Co. Ltd. booth, Vice-Chairman Jimmy Yang (center) met with (clockwise from top right) Sergio Maggioni, Pablo Accettura, Fiorenzo Zuin, Gianfranco Costantino and Maura Coppino.
Online sales
Atendance at the 20 AutopromotecEdu 2015 seminars topped 2,300 people. Tere were an additional 33 events, meetings and workshops organized by associations, institutions and media partners.
As part of AutopromotecEdu, Luca Montagner, associate director of ICDP (International Car Distribution Programme) Italy, forecast how the behavior of European customers buying online will change in the next fve years.
• Visits to Internet websites for the purpose of booking service appointments will increase signifcantly. • Te sales of tires online will increase (currently, 20% of motorists buy tires on the Internet, according to Montagner). • Te sale of spare parts online also will increase (an estimated 30% of motorists buy parts on the Internet).
Online sales “could have a dramatic efect, to the detriment in particular of the independent market,” he said.
Buick Enclave – 2008-2013
SUBJECT VEHICLE: 2008 – 2013 Buick Enclave. RELEARN PROCEDURE? Yes. SPECIAL TOOLS NEEDED? TPMS sensor activation tool ( J-46079) may be used. You also need the tire pressure monitor diagnostic tool (EL-46079/J-46079).
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) on the 2008–2013 Buick Enclave alerts the driver when a large change in the pressure of one tire exists while the vehicle is being driven. Te system also will display individual tire pressures and their locations on the driver information center (DIC). The TPMS system uses the uses the engine control module (ECM), body control module (BCM), instrument panel cluster (IPC), DIC, remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR), a radio frequency (RF) transmiting pressure sensor in each wheel/tire assembly, and the serial data circuit to perform the system functions. When the vehicle is stationary, the sensors go into stationary mode.
In this mode, the sensors transmit once every 60 minutes to minimize sensor batery consumption. As vehicle speed increases, the sensors go into drive mode, in which they transmit once every 60 seconds. NOTE: Te sensor’s pressure accuracy is about 2 psi (14 kPa) at temperatures from 14 degrees Fahrenheit to 158 degrees F (-10 Celsius to 70 degrees C). Te RCDLR receives and translates the data contained in each sensor transmission, then sends the tire pressure and tire location data to the DIC.
When the TPMS detects a signifcant loss or gain of tire pressure, a “CHECK TIRE PRESSURE” message will appear
on the DIC, and the low tire pressure warning indicator is displayed on the IPC.
Te RCDLR has the ability to detect malfunctions within the TPMS. Any malfunctions detected will cause the DIC to display a “SERVICE TIRE MONITOR” warning message.
Tire pressure monitor warning indicators
When a low tire pressure condition is detected, the TPMS illuminates the low tire pressure warning light located on the instrument cluster. A message to check the pressure in a specifc tire displays in the DIC. Te TPMS warning light and the DIC warning message come on at each ignition cycle until the tires are infated to the correct infation pressure. Using the DIC, tire pressure levels can be viewed. When the system detects a malfunction, the low tire warning light fashes for about one minute and then stays on for the remainder of the ignition cycle. A DIC warning message also displays. Te malfunction light and DIC warning message come on at each ignition cycle until the problem is corrected. NOTE: Te low tire pressure warning light may come on in cool weather when the vehicle is frst started, and then turn of as the vehicle is driven. Tis could be an early indicator that the tire’s air pressure is geting low and needs to be infated to the proper pressure.
Reset procedures
NOTE: If a tire pressure sensor or the RCDLR is replaced, or if the wheels have been rotated, tire pressure sensors must be relearned. Te relearn procedure can be performed using either the keyless entry system or a scan tool. See “Using keyless entry system” or DIC or “Using scan tool.” When a low tire pressure condition is detected, the TPMS illuminates the low tire pressure warning light located on the instrument cluster. A message to check the pressure in a specifc tire will be displayed in the DIC. Check the air pressure of all tires and adjust to specifcation. Ensure warning indicators go out afer a few minutes.
Tire pressure sensor relearn
Once the learn mode has been enabled, each of the sensor’s unique identifcation (ID) codes can be learned into the RCDLR’s memory. When a sensor’s ID has been learned, the RCDLR sends a serial data message to the IPM to sound a horn chirp. Tis verifes the sensor has transmited its ID and the RCDLR has received and learned it. Te RCDLR must learn the sensor IDs in the proper order to determine correct sensor location. Te frst learned ID is assigned to lef front, the second to right front, third to right rear and fourth to lef rear. Each sensor takes a pressure measurement sample once every 30 seconds while in stationary mode.
If the tire pressure increases, or decreases by more than 1.6 psi (11 kPa) from the last pressure measurement, another measurement will occur immediately to verify the change in pressure. If a pressure change has indeed occurred, the sensor transmits a re-measure mode transmission.
When the RCDLR receives a re-measure mode transmission while in sensor learn mode, it will assign that sensor’s ID to the location on the vehicle relative to the order in which it was learned. Te TPMS will cancel the learn mode if more than two minutes have passed and no sensors have been learned, or if the RCDLR has been in learn mode for more than fve minutes. If the learn mode is canceled before any IDs are learned, the RCDLR will remember all previously stored IDs and their locations.
As soon as the frst sensor ID is learned, all other IDs are erased from the RCDLR’s memory.
NOTE: Before proceeding with the steps below, ensure that no other sensor learn procedure is being performed simultaneously, or that no tire pressures are being adjusted on another TPMS-equipped vehicle within close proximity.
NOTE: In the following procedures, a TPMS sensor activation tool ( J-46079) may be used in place of increasing/decreasing pressures to enable sensor. To use, place activator antenna against the tire sidewall close to the wheel rim at the valve stem location, and then press and release the ACTIVATE buton.
NOTE: If TPMS sensor activation tool ( J-46079) is used, and vehicle is having trouble entering relearn mode, check the bateries in the activation tool. Low bateries may allow some functions to work, but not allow the vehicle to perform the learn function. When the internal batery is fresh (fully charged), the indicator is “full” or all dark. When the batery
is depleted, the indicator shows “empty” or all light.
Using the keyless entry system or DIC: 1) Turn the ignition switch to ACC position. Apply the parking brake. 2) Initiate the TPMS learn mode using one of the following procedures:
• On vehicles equipped with keyless entry, simultaneously press the keyless entry transmiter’s lock and unlock butons until a double horn chirp sounds, indicating the learn mode has been enabled. Te lef front turn signal will also be illuminated. • On vehicles not equipped with keyless entry, press and release the driver information center (DIC) INFO button until the TIRE LEARN message appears on the DIC display. Press and hold the SET/RESET buton until a double horn chirp sounds indicating the Learn Mode has been enabled.
3) Starting with the lef front tire, activate the tire pressure sensor using one of the following methods:
• Increase/decrease the tire pressure for eight to 10 seconds then wait for a horn chirp. Te horn chirp may occur before or up to 30 seconds afer the eight to 10 second pressure increase/ decrease time period has been reached. Once the horn chirp has sounded, the sensor information is learned and the turn signal Figure 1: An exploded view of the tire pressure in the next location to be monitoring system (TPMS) assembly. learned will illuminate. eight to 10 seconds then wait for a horn chirp.
