Just wondering what works for people when looking for a deal that you are trying to achieve.
What do you mention during your first chat, whether it’s by email, text, phone, etc. Do you lay out the full deal you are trying to achieve or just start with ‘x’ % off MSRP pre-incentive for example. Do you reference other deals you may have seen in the area (without mentioning leasehackr)?
How do you try to make sure you aren’t wasting their time or your own time without coming off as a jerk? I’ve sort of just used the same cookie cutter intro along the lines of “Hi my name is ____, I’m looking for vehicle xyz and I noticed you have one in stock for $xxxxx. I was wondering if you would be able to get to x% off MSRP before incentives”.
Also lets say you are trying to get to 5% off, do you start with saying you are looking for 5%? Or do you say I’m looking for 8% with the assumption that they wont just say ‘sure, here’s your discount you’re asking for’?
Is there anything in particular you say in terms of small talk to start off on a more personable level, or do you just get straight to asking about a quote?
