This Sales Trainer Reveals The One Line That Beats Any Price Objection
This episode was sponsored by Cardiff LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers raw redemption with Curtis Riggleman — a former car thief who slept in stolen cars as a homeless teenager. He's now Director of Operations over nine dealerships for LFG Auto Group, one of Central California's largest automotive groups. Curtis breaks down how growing up in chaos taught him to read people better than any sales manual ever could. He explains why today's impatient, social-media-driven customers actually make closing easier, and reveals the real difference between a stall tactic and a genuine objection. He also opens up about the 2008 crash that wiped out everything he'd built — and the six months it took on the sales floor to claw it all back. A kid who slept in stolen cars now runs nine dealerships.
