Jim does his own Seminars (Because he can) That’s why they call him “The Alpha Dawg” . Always taught personally by Jim Ziegler, himself….not some second-fiddle, stand-in employee. Ziegler’s Sales Manager, F&I Manager, and Internet Seminars are the best in the business for immediate measurable results and increases. Check the website for upcoming events. http://www.ZieglerSuperSystems.com

• Sales Recruiting and Training of New Hire Sales Professionals

Ziegler has forged an alliance with TK Worldwide, a leader in the field of recruiting and hiring new sales persons.  What is different about this relationship is that TK Worldwide and Ziegler have selected their best, most qualified “Ninja” trainers to teach and implement the “Ziegler process”.  Personally selected and trained by Jim himself, these trainers will teach the Ziegler process exactly in your dealership with existing sales people, or with new hires we recruit and train.

• Fully Automated Sales and CRM with Internet lead management and Service Programs.

We have the most modern and effective desk control web-based program in the world. We call it the Digital SuperSystem. Jim has spent years looking for that perfect tool that would present the “Ziegler SuperSystem” exactly the way it is designed. This is NOT some lame program that spits out a matrix of payments and down payment combinations, but rather; it actually prints Ziegler Forms and presents the “Ziegler Pencil” complete with scripting from the sales desk.

This program is inexpensive, highly profitable, measures the selling effort, provides CRM and everything else you need with minimum input.

Our program fully integrates with all major DMS Systems.

• Video sales and Management Training Programs

As you’ve probably already discovered, you can’t beat Car Sales People hard enough to sit in front of a computer and learn to sell cars…and then take some test online.

Ziegler has CD and DVD sets proven sales and management training tools…as well as textbooks, training manuals, and all of the forms you need to implement the high-profit, high volume, great CSI, Ziegler SuperSystem.

• Strategic Alliances

Jim Ziegler knows who the best vendors are…and we also know which venders in the market are bogus, disreputable, ineffective, and don’t meet dealers expectation. We know who the bums are and we know the real performers. Before you buy anything from anybody, call  Jim personally. If we are aware of the company you inquiring about, Jim will give you an honest opinion…or check into it for you.

Looking for an Event Sale? Advertising Agency? An Internet training Consultant? A Fixed operations consulting company? Ziegler has relationships with the best performing vendors.

Dee Burrell and Jim visiting at the session Jim performed for NSA-Philadelphia on May 21st…How to Create a Million-Dollar Speaking Business.

Here’s what David Newman had to say about Jim’s seminar…

Jim – I gotta tell you, the program you did for us on Friday was a TOTAL and COMPLETE home run. Our members can’t stop saying how much value you packed into your seminar and how many actionable ideas they’re going back to work with… You were a true pro at every step of the process and you made ME look like a genius for bringing you in. We want you back! And any other group needs to RUN, not walk, to get you booked.

The Alpha Dawg over-delivered x 10… as usual. Thanks, Jim, for delivering an awesome and profit-rich program for us.

David Newman, Programs chairman and Incoming President, NSA-Philadelphia

What Doesn’t Kill You Only Makes You Stronger

Jim Ziegler outlines a road map to get your Dealership back on track

“What doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger. “When Friedrich Nietzsche first wrote those words back in the late 1800′s, I’m fairly sure he wasn’t referring to 21st century Car Dealerships surviving the incredible economic and financial hardships we’ve endured over the last few years.

Throughout this entire ordeal we’ve faced hurricanes that brought the economy to our knees, gasoline prices approaching $5.00 a gallon, the collapse of the nation’s financial center, corporate bankruptcies and government bailouts into the trillions.

Personally, I had to completely reinvent my business plan and corporate vision. After 25 successful years we laid off all of our employees and closed our offices .

You Can’t Expense-Control Yourself into a Profit More than Once

Expense-Control made it possible for most survivors to make it to the other side. Me personally, I also got caught up in that “Last Man Standing” mentality as if we were throwing everything that was excess baggage off of the plane.

BUT…there comes a time when you have cut to the bone. Many of you cut too much and it cost you. You cannot lay down and stop doing business.
The service department carried us through the storm BUT now it’s the variable operations that are going to bring us back to life.

I have a saying…a philosophy that has gotten me through the worst situations, including recent crisis’s.
… There’s Nothing on Earth You Can’t sell Your Way Out Of

That’s where we are right now…all of us. The time for extreme caution has passed, and; although we need to be aware and on top of our business, it’s time to aggressively attack…
