The Playbook

This is how the floor gets run.

Not promises — mechanics. Below are working samples of the boards, standards, and scripts I bring to a store. All figures are illustrative dummy data; the systems are real and get rebuilt around your store's numbers.

01 — Daily Activity

The board runs the meeting Sample · Dummy Data

Pulled automatically from the CRM every night — no self-reporting, no whiteboard debates. Every save-the-deal conversation starts from the same numbers.

Built in Power BI / SQL against the CRM and DMS. Variance vs. daily target flags automatically — green, yellow, red — before the morning meeting.

02 — The Saturday Standard

Two confirmed. Every rep. No excuses. Sample · Dummy Data

Saturdays are won on Thursday and Friday. Minimum two confirmed appointments per salesperson — and confirmed means reconfirmed by Friday 6 PM, on the board, with a text thread or a voice confirmation behind it.

A miss isn't a write-up on day one — it's a Friday-night coaching session: pull the call list, work the pipeline together, set the appointments. The standard holds because the help is real.

03 — Goal Cascade

From store target to daily dials Sample · Dummy Data

Goals only work when the math connects the month to the morning. Here's a sample cascade for a 120-unit store with 10 salespeople, using illustrative conversion averages:

LevelTargetThe Math
Store / month120 unitsSet with the desk from trend + factory objectives
Store / week30 units120 ÷ 4 — pace checked daily, not on the 25th
Rep / month12 units120 ÷ 10 reps
Writes needed~1512 ÷ 80% write-to-deliver
Shows needed~2315 ÷ 65% show-to-write
Confirmed appts~3323 ÷ 70% appt-to-show
Daily activity~10 quality callsBacked out of the month, per rep, per day

Each store's real averages replace these samples in week one — then the cascade recalculates itself monthly. Reps see exactly what today has to look like for the month to happen.

04 — Incentives

Spiffs that point the same direction as the store Sample Structure

  • Saturday show spiff — a per-confirmed-show bonus on Saturdays, paid same day. Rewards the behavior that fills the busiest floor of the week.
  • Monthly unit ladder — escalating bonus tiers at 10 / 12 / 15 units, so the 11th car is worth chasing and the 13th is worth fighting for.
  • Back-end alignment spiff — recognition tied to product penetration on delivered deals, so the floor sets up the box instead of burning it.
  • Pacesetter board — weekly leader recognition posted from the automated board. Public, objective, and impossible to argue with.
  • Structures are built inside your store's existing comp plan — these are illustrative shapes, not dollar promises.

    05 — Word Tracks

    Say it the same way every time Sample Scripts

    Appointment Confirmation — Friday call

    "Hi Sarah, it's Marcus at the dealership — I've got you locked in for tomorrow at 10:30 with the Explorer pulled up front and ready. I'll have my manager block that time for you personally. Is 10:30 still best, or does 11 work better? Perfect — I'll text you my card and the address right now, and I'll see you at 10:30."

    F&I Menu Introduction — every customer

    "Congratulations — the hard part's done. Before we finalize your paperwork, I go over the same protection menu with every customer, because my job is to make sure you leave here protected, not just approved. Take a look at all four options with me — then you pick what fits your family and your budget, and we'll finish up."

    Tracks get tailored to your store's brand and products — then trained, role-played, and held to. Consistency is what makes them measurable.

    06 — Funding & Compliance Standard

    Funding is priority number one

  • F&I menu presented to 100% of customers — signed menu in every deal jacket, no exceptions, ever.
  • E-contract + paper sign on every deal — speed of digital, security of ink. Both, every time.
  • Same-day packaging — every deal is funds-ready the day it's delivered. Stips chased while the customer is still in the building.
  • Fast funding — contracts in transit measured in hours and days, not weeks. Cash flow is the store's oxygen.
  • OFAC · Red Flags · Truth in Lending · adverse action — plus New Jersey state doc standards and every lender's underwriting guidelines, followed cold.
  • Audit-boring on purpose — clean jackets, clean CIT list, no surprise chargebacks, no sideways looks from the banks.
  • Want this in your store?
