    Negotiate like your Life Depends on It.....
    Absolutely great guest with interesting angles of approaching customers in this industry. From the beginning topic of a perfect “opening line” to what to observe in body language and what to listen to verbally. I gotta get this book to dive into before I officially get out on the showroom floor !! I just recently started listening to this podcast & became a favorite quickly! Mr. Cirillo is a genuine curious and amicable host who takes time to explain topics in layman terms for rookies like me but delved in depth enough to satisfy seasoned salesmen !! I’d recommend listening highly !!!
  • CJLayton
    BEST PODCAST!
    Michael is great to listen to and always brings value on every episode. I’ve been listening now for just about a year and have learned so much!
  • Rob 9189
    Well done!
    Not the typical hubris we see in the industry. Instead, this podcast presents smart conversations that get results.
  • fifidifi
    Worth the time!
    Above all, I absolutely love the show. Great information, tips, and practical life advice are all in this podcast. Perfect for well established dealerships and even good advise if you’re not in this industry. Majority of the episodes are put together very well although some of the episodes do not relate to my situation. I’m just starting out so a lot of the information, I feel is for more established dealerships. I still give it 5 stars because it’s perfect for future use and definitely worth the time to listen!

    The Dealer Playbook Podcast Is Absolute Gold!
    After working in the automotive sales industry for the last 11 years, I've been able to up my game thanks to the helpful insights and various topics of shows like The Dealer Playbook and being able to utilize the information I receive and really harness it, my customer count is growing heavily and have earned me a lot of freedom both financially and schedule wise that I have never experienced before! I have been really impressed with the calibur of guests that have been on the show because Michael Cirillo (and Robert Weisman) have continually brought the best and brightest stars of the automotive world the share their insights and experience with everyone out there listening from the beginning salesperson to the most seasoned veteran as well as guests from outside the sales arena, like internet marketing and branding specialists, BDC experts, and management personnel that give us a greater range of ideas from all across the automotive spectrum. It has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts and each week, I'm steadily waiting for the latest recording to drop into my subscription feed. I love it! -William J.

    To me there’s nothing better than a platform full of great ideas to implement in my own store and to get these ideas from a respectable person with integrity. Michaels guests support a great mix of topics and ways to approach them. I always feel like Michael has a natural skill of asking the right questions with his guests. I highly recommend subscribing and getting your weekly notification to this refreshing deep dive of our industry. You’ll look forward to the next one every time.
  • Goodwolfwv
    Huge help
    The Dealer Playbook has been one of the best resources for ideas as a Digital Marketer. Michael’s guests and his own advice is inspiring. Each time I’ve listened, I’ve learned something. Since I started this podcast, my sales have increased overall just from employing a couple of little things here and there that I have heard. These little sparks put together can create solid changes in your sales approach. I recommend it highly!

  • Primisagod
    Fluff
    I've listened to a lot of the podcasts and it seems like a lot of fluff and little to no detail. The title of "How to sell more in less time" is completely misleading. Instead the entire episode is "why" and not "how" to do it. Somebody choosing that title already has their "why."
  • JayA.
    A Great Deal
    I'm new to the auto industry and very eager to learn. This podcast from Cirillo has helped me to understand what it takes to build a business and stand out from my competition. I look forward to sharing my success story after applying what I've learned from all the guests.

    Be obsessed or Be Average!
    Definitely enjoyed the interview with Grant Cardone on his new book. It really confirms my drive, and determination, which most find exhausting. After this podcast, I will definitely download the audiobook!

    Exceptional Material!
    I am almost 27 years old and work in the auto industry as a car salesman. I have been in this industry for 8 months and my Sales Manager referred me to this podcast pretty early on. I procrastinated but finally started listening a couple of weeks ago. This podcast not only helps me in the auto industry but also in life and business. There's so much useful content from how to maximize your social media presence to how to organize all aspects of your life to achieve poductivity and everything in between. Very impressed so far and looking forward to learning more and listening regularly.

    A Must For Automotive Marketers
    I've read a book by Michael, and I moved on to the podcast. What a great resource! I cannot stress listening to this enough if you're in automotive marketing.

    Gems of Knowledge!
    I left the dealership business a couple years ago. I was disappointed in the entire experience of selling cars with no “training” or guidance. I was your average 7/8 car guy needless to say. I was 25 at the time and my biggest mistake and regret is that I treated my time at the dealership as a J.O.B. It wasn’t until a year and a half later that I discovered The Dealer Playbook and came to the realization that I was a complete fool for leaving but things happen for a reason. By listening to the DPB I discovered the Gary Vee’s, the Grant Cardone’s, the Mike “the Chevy Dude” Davenport’s, the Robert Weisman’s of the business. I took it upon myself to study the art of selling and really give it my all this time around. Im proud to say I’m back at the dealership I left 2 years ago with a whole new outlook and ready to OWN IT and make a killing. Thank you Mike for all the GEMS of knowledge you and you’re guest have provided over the years. I seriously throw on the podcast on my way to work to get me in the mental zone every morning and on my lunch breaks!
  • Oh fast money
    Great way to stay sharp!

    Great Content and Information
    I have listened to all of The Dealer Playbook episodes and find them very informative and motivational. Michael Cirillo is great even for auto dealer information, but also outside the industry. His podcasts are great for leadership information as well.
