How to take a Vision and Make it a Reality by Bobby Malatia Do you have a vision for something that you think will work within in your Internet Department but have not done anything to achieve it? Or a better question might be have you ever been to a training presentation or heard someone speak about their Internet Department and thought to yourself that is a great idea, I can do that, but you still have not done it? This is not unusually. It actually comes from our instant gratification nature which breeds a misunderstanding that you can go from 0 to 60 in 1 second. Unfortunately, I do not care how fast your car is this cannot be done. Now the typical scenario for most of us is we never even started working towards getting that great idea going or we started it but it fizzled away because we had other things going on. This happens because we realize it is going to take longer than one day to make it happen, and of course we want it right now. I want to share with you how you can better accomplish making the changes that need to be made in order to implement those great ideas. There are three areas to implementing your ideas and they are as follows. 1. You have to see the vision. You have to have, or hear about, or experience the epiphany that is the great idea. 2. Once you have your vision you need to set a goal that puts a realistic timeframe on completing the work that needs to be done to make everything happen. The goals will guide you as to how you are progressing through the implementation of everything. When setting your goal be realistic on what it will take to make the change or the work it will require putting the information together to get everything set up for what you are trying to do. Whether your goals are based on hours, days, or months you need to understand that it is okay if you cannot set it by snapping your fingers. 3. You have to work the idea while you are implementing it. Do not wait until everything is perfect before you start bringing your idea to life. Allow it to grow while you are nurturing it and you will find that the successes will be coming much more quickly as a result. As an example of this, one of my clients looked at some of the things they wanted to do better for this New Year and realized that they have been discussing it for several months with no actions. They then decided to set a goal and start immediately working towards it spending just 15-20 minutes a day on the tasks. Of course while putting this all together and are also keeping focused on the answering of leads following there process and selling cars. Thus far they are half way through putting it all together and have already created a few additional sales from their effort, as well as almost doubling their lead volume through the source they are focusing on. Once

they have put it all together there is no doubt that it will provide even greater successes. Now I do want you to notice that I have not mentioned anything specifically about the ideas themselves. I have purposely done this to draw your attention to the tasks around the idea and how they are just as important as the idea. It does not matter if we are talking about vehicle descriptions, photos of vehicles, pricing of vehicles, or a process for your team, etc. The key is to take these ideas, whatever they may be, and implement them around a sound strategy that goes from Vision, to Goals, to Immediate Implementation in order to create successes as soon as possible. Hope you have a great sales day today! Bobby Malatia Senior Training Partner KainAutomotive.com bobby@kainautomotive.com 214-228-7930 www.kainautomotive.com
