Listen "EP48 – Quiet Confidence: The Close That Doesn’t Push"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of AutoKnerd, we flip the script on what it means to be a strong closer in automotive sales. Forget the fast-talking, pressure-heavy tactics. Instead, we explore the power of quiet confidence—where calm presence, deep listening, and strategic silence close more deals than any flashy pitch ever could.
Grounded in behavioral science, neuroscience, and real showroom stories, this episode breaks down why confident sales consultants don’t chase… they anchor. You’ll learn how posture, tone, and empathy can build trust faster than any word track. Plus, hear how a zipper-smiled robot named Sprocket models the kind of calm that sells cars (and earns referrals).
Whether you’re new to the lot or twenty years in, this one will sharpen your mindset and your skillset.
Quiet isn’t weak. It’s lethal—when used with care.
