Say what you want to Say

I enjoy the car business, especially other dealers. You know when other dealers have opinions of me and my business but they never say them to me then they mean a whole lot to me. I think that we can take this as a lesson in life.
No matter what people think if they don't say it to you directly then it doesn't matter. For example there are several dealers here in the Denver area that think myself and my company are a joke. Great, this opinion usually comes from the fact that I have taken customers from them or my customers say something in front of them about how good a job we do.
Usually insecurity leads to opinion especially opinions that are made to third parties. Take this lesson into your everyday life, do not get upset with someone's opinion of you or what you do especially if they have not voiced that opinion directly to you. It is more than likely a defense mechanism they have in them to cover for their own insecurities or jealousies they have toward you.
Remember if you have an opinion about something or someone it does no good what so ever to voice to a third party. If it is a real honest and truth based opinion then it should go directly from your mouth to the person's ears that it is about. Otherwise you just look like a giant asshole that has nothing better to do than bitch about your life or your current situation.
By the way if there are any car dealers that read this at all, remember the world is steadily becoming harder and harder to do business in. With the internet and other forms of instant information available to potential customers we are all doing the best we can. I truly believe in the near future that customers will solely deal with dealerships with flawless reputations and very good attitudes. We all need to remember that.
