Communication is one of the most important aspects of selling cars — plain and simple. The Automotive Communications Council (ACC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to emphasizing the importance of building trust and loyalty, particularly within the dealership and automotive industries. Through a focus on education, collaboration, and strategic communication, ACC explores how these elements can drive meaningful advancement in the automotive world. By encouraging even small but intentional improvements, ACC is reshaping how the industry builds trust, enhances customer loyalty, and creates sustainable growth.

ACC’s mission is made to make great changes to such an important industry. All by increasing awareness of great communication in the automotive world. They have found that by promoting eudcation, professional development and using collaborations to their advantage, dealerships can grow their revenue, and increase customer satisfaction for long-term success.

What you might ask is, what sets the ACC apart from other companies? well, they aren’t just looking for short-term solutions, they are looking at the big picture for the companies, and using those ideas to help dealerships all around the world. I say it again and again, communication is key, and the ACC is using this knowledge to shape the industry into something spectacular. Pushing for sales professionals to think bigger than just one deal at a time, why limit yourself? in my opinion, pushing towards a trust-building and respectful environment inside these types of interactions is what customers deserve. they have what it takes to lead the way for dealerships all around to adapt.

At the end of the day, customers don’t just remember what you sold them — they remember how you made them feel. Organizations like the Automotive Communications Council are helping dealerships and sales teams realize that real communication is the competitive advantage. Building trust, having real conversations, and focusing on long-term loyalty is how you stay ahead in today’s industry.

Thank you for listening!

Every great sale starts with preparation, not a handshake. For car sales, the real work starts long before you even get to that handshake. Having knowledge, being preparation and great expertise lay the foundation for clear, confident communicate, the kind that builds trust and sets you apart from the competition.

Customers aren’t showing up clueless anymore, most of the time these days, customers walk into dealerships already knowing what they want. If you aren’t prepared to meet them with real knowledge, you can loose your credibility in minutes.

That’s why I can’t stress enough how important it is to be prepared, especially if you are trying to be the best in the industry, it’s not an option anymore. These genuine conversations are essential, along with true knowledge of your products, that is what is going to change the game and put you on top.

You can know every little feature on the lot, but the way you communicate it, tell it’s story, is going to be where you start to step ahead of people. While you can sit there and rattle off features about this and that, listening just might be what every customer needs. Great communication isn’t just about you talking, it’s about hearing what our customers need, their wants, this huge financial decision is theirs, they must feel like they are being heard. People will remember the way you made them feel more than the exact words you used.

Selling a car is great. Building a loyal customer? that’s even better. Not only does that secure revenue for a company, that also shows other consumers who they can trust in such an overwhelming industry. When communication feels respectful, people don’t just buy once, they will keep coming back, and recommendations and word of mouth references are how those larger networks come into benefit you in the long haul.

At the end of the day, Selling is simple when you are prepared, knowledgable and have the tools to communicate that to your customers. Those that understand this, who invest their time and skills into their work, don’t just sale cars, they build relationships with loyal customers that drives real growth.
