Nice presentation guys. Who else attended?

My personal takeaways:

Mike: Personal branding is creating a persona and turning it into a relationship.
Mike: People buy before they go into the dealership. They find the car first and then figure out who they want to do business with.
Mike: Self-branding means people know who you are online and ask for you in the dealership. People know who you are before you sit down and talk with them.

Mike on building a personal brand:
- Buy a domain name and setup website
- Get LinkedIn profile
- Get Facebook profile
- Snapchat can be effective

LinkedIn has slow response rate, more engagement on facebook

Jeff: Doesn't matter what you are selling... Are you going to be a professional sales person?

Mike invests time and money taking training and building his personal brand.

Mike would go door to door in various neighborhoods. This is a sign of a champion salesman.

I'm looking forward to more webinars like this.
