It’s Your Turn! In this exercise, you’ll have the opportunity to practice the GEMSS. Since GEMSS tend to shrink in real life applications, we’ll exaggerate them greatly in practice.
Your instructor will explain the exercise, but here’s a brief summary: Think of a short paragraph you already have memorized. You can choose
the Pledge of Allegiance, the Star Spangled Banner - any short paragraph will do.
Pair up with someone else from the class. Your partner will pick one of the GEMSS. Recite your short paragraph while exaggerating the GEMSS trait your
partner chose. Be as ridiculous as possible. Huge gestures, stare-eyes contests, frantic movement, silly postures, and pasted-on smiles are all fair game.
Now choose one of the GEMSS for your partner to exaggerate in the same way.
What did you learn?
What did you think would happen when you exaggerated to such a great extent? ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ How did the actual experience differ from your expectation? ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________

It’s Your Turn! Now it’s time to get more realistic. In this exercise, you’ll practice interacting with a guest using all of the GEMSS.
Pair up with someone else in the class. Practice greeting a customer using all of the 5 GEMSS. Your partner will
play the part of the guest. Practice a few times to get comfortable with the process.
When you’re ready, your partner will give you feedback using the guide below.
Switch roles and repeat the exercise.
As a reminder, here’s a sample script for greeting a customer:
CSR “Welcome to Valvoline Instant Oil Change, my name is Sally, what can we do for you today?”
Guest “I’d like an oil change.” CSR “Great. Before you turn your engine off, please pop your hood so we
can check your transmission and perform a safety inspection. Thanks.”
“I will be guiding you through an initial check of your lights.” [Light Check]
“Your transmission has been checked so you can turn your vehicle off and place your keys on the dash now.”
“May I look in your door to get your tire pressure, please?”
Guest “Sure” CSR “Is this a personal or company vehicle?”
Guest It’s my personal car. CSR “Thank you for choosing us today. Today’s oil change includes
a vehicle light inspection and fluid top-offs. If you have any questions during the process, please let me know.”

Understanding the Sales Process Think about the last time you interacted with a salesperson and bought something important – like a car or a piece of electronic equipment.

• Did they talk about how you could use the product for your own benefit? If so, what did they say?
• Did they tell you about other people who used the product?
• Did they talk about a guarantee or warranty?
• Did they tell you about endorsements for the product or awards it had won?

Whether you realize it or not, all good salespeople follow a _______________
Usually, the process involves: • Pointing out the product’s features • Explaining how those features will benefit the buyer • Appealing to the primary buying motive of the buyer • Citing evidence to support the claims • Asking for the sales, also called closing

Buying Motives Buying motives are the root reasons people buy products or services. They include things like quality, convenience, cost savings, status, and security. Often buying motives are not explicitly mentioned by the salesperson, they are merely implied.
What are the most common buying motives for Valvoline Instant Oil Change guests?
• ___________________________________________________________
• ___________________________________________________________
• ___________________________________________________________
• ___________________________________________________________
• ___________________________________________________________
Evidence Evidence can take several forms. It can be an endorsement from an industry group or a group of consumers. It can be a statement of personal experience or the experience of someone else. It can be a guarantee or warranty that suggests that a company stands behind their product.
The Automotive Services Guide includes evidence for many services in the form of:
• Endorsements from AAA or the Care Car Council
• Recommendations from auto manufacturers, government agencies, industry groups or Valvoline experts.
• Money-back guarantees from Valvoline

Closing Closing is the most obvious, but also the most overlooked part of the sales process. Closing is simply asking for the sale. Always remember to ask for a sale after each item you present.
“Would you like us to use this oil today?”
“Would you like us to do this for you today?”
Asking for a sale after each service recommendation is a Valvoline Instant Oil Change Spotlight behavior.

The Importance of a Script Think of your favorite actor in your favorite movie. Did they use a script? You bet they did! Did it sound like they were using a script? Absolutely not!
Good salespeople use a script, but they don’t sound like they are using a script. They have practiced so much that everything appears completely natural.
Let’s write a script:
Assume that you want to go to your favorite fast food restaurant for lunch. Your friend wants to go to their favorite restaurant.
Write a sales script to convince your friend to go to the restaurant you chose.

It’s Your Turn! The sales scripts used later in this course and the Automotive Services guide were both created with the sales process in mind. In this exercise, you’ll identify the parts of the sales process in sales scripts.
Break into teams. Circle or use colored highlighters to identify features, benefits, evidence
and the close in each of the sales scripts below. Write the buying motive in the margin.
“Based on our visual inspection, we recommend replacing your air filter. The air filter removes dirt and dust from the air that flows into the engine. It’s the last line of defense to stop dirty air from contaminating your engine. Over time, it gets clogged with road surface dirt. If your engine is starved for air, it becomes less fuel efficient – and that can cost you 29 cents per gallon at the pump. So an air filter pays for itself in less than 2 months. A new filter ensures air is flowing cleanly and smoothly to the engine, helping to maximize your gas mileage. This service takes no additional time and runs $14.99. Would you like us to do this for you today?” “The transmission transfers power from the engine to the wheels. The grinding gears create metal shavings and high heat, and that creates debris and deposits. If these things build up for too long, the fluid becomes overloaded and the transmission can fail. New transmissions can be very expensive. “By draining old fluid with metal, dirt and deposits and replacing it with new fluid ensures the safe operation of your transmission. This service is endorsed by AAA. It takes about 15 minutes and runs $89.99. Would you like us to do this for you today?” “Based on your car’s mileage,Dodge recommends replacing your antifreeze. Your car’s cooling system protects your engine from overheating. But over time, antifreeze wears out and loses its ability to protect your system’s metal components from corrosion. If corrosion builds up too much, your radiator no longer protects the engine from overheating. Overheating can result in a cracked engine block, and that can be very expensive. Replacing the antifreeze restores protection for the entire cooling system. The U.S. Department of Transportation says radiator failure is the number one cause of breakdowns, and every automotive manufacturer recommends radiator fluid replacement. This service takes about 15 minutes and runs 69.99. Would you like us to do this for you today?”

Types of Objections Objections come in two types; searchers and stoppers. Searcher objections are not really objections at all. They are requests for information phrased in a negative way. Stopper objections are less common. Here the guest wants to say “no,” and is trying to do it politely.
Common searcher objections:
• “Your price is too high.” The guest is really looking for additional ________________ that make the product or service worth the money.
• “My regular mechanic does that. I just get my oil changed here.” The guest is really looking for ________________________ that make changing routines worthwhile.
• “I’ll do that service myself”. The guest is searching for an _______________________ of having the service done for him.
Common stopper objections:
• No ______________: “I don’t have the money for that right now”
• No ______________: “My husband makes those decisions”
• No ______________: “I don’t have time for that today”

Responses to Common Objections
“I just want the regular oil today.” “That’s fine, but I want to let you know that using a premium oil can save you money by extending the life of your engine and increasing your gas mileage. “No thanks.” Okay, but I want to let you know that we can do that anytime in only a few minutes. You don’t need an appointment, and a new air filter pays for itself.” “No thanks. I use my regular mechanic for that kind of thing. I just get my oil changed here.” Okay, but I want to let you know that you can get that done here in about 15 minutes with no appointment and our technicians are Super-Pro 10 certified. Bring the car in any time. “No thanks. I’ll do it myself” “That’s great that you can do that. I can provide you a list of all your services being recommended. If you find that you don’t have time, remember you can stop by at any time, no appointment necessary, and we do back our services with a 100% guarantee. This service would only take us 15 minutes. $69.99?!! I know I can get that done cheaper somewhere else. “We can do that now for you in only 15 minutes – you won’t have to go make an appointment. I think you’ll find our prices are competitive.” I don’t have the money for that right now. “Okay. You can stop in any time and we’ll take care of that for you. The service only takes 15 minutes and there’s no appointment necessary.” “I don’t think I have time for that today” “Okay. You can stop in any time and we’ll take care of that for you. The service only takes 15 minutes and there’s no appointment necessary.”

Presenting Premium Motor Oil The Facts: Motor Oil Basics Motor Oil is made up of two big components: Base Stock and the additive package. • About __________________ percent is base stock • About __________________ percent is the additive package. The additive
package is usually what distinguishes one brand of motor oil from another
Motor Oils are rated by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
API ratings tell you the engine type the oil is designed for and the most current specification. • “S” means the oil is for spark-ignited or ________________engines. • “C” means the oil is for combustions-ignited or __________ engines.
The SAE rating tells you the viscosity or “weight” of the oil. Viscosity refers to the oil’s resistance to flow. Single grade oils have only one number, like 30w. This oil maintains the same resistance to flow at all temperature. Multi-viscosity oils have two numbers, like 5w30. • For 5w30 oil, 5 is the weight of the oil at very ________________
temperatures.
• For 5w30 oil, 30 is the weight at very _________________ temperatures.

The Presentation “Based on our visual inspection, we recommend replacing your air filter [show air filter]. “The air filter removes dirt and dust from the air that flows into the engine. It’s the last line of defense to stop dirty air from contaminating your engine. Over time, it gets clogged with road surface dirt. “If your engine is starved for air, it becomes less fuel efficient. The U.S. Department of Labor says this can cost you 29 cents per gallon at the pump, or $200 in wasted gas every year – so they recommend replacing your air filter.” “A new filter ensures air is flowing cleanly and smoothly to the engine, helping to maximize your gas mileage.” “This service takes no additional time and runs [$14.99, $19.99, $24.99 – quote correct price].

Replacing the antifreeze restores protection for the entire cooling system” “The U.S. Department of Transportation says radiator failure is the number one cause of breakdowns, and every automotive manufacturer recommends radiator fluid replacement.” “This service takes about 15 minutes and runs [69.99, 79.99 or 89.99 - quote correct price for the customer’s vehicle].

Common Objections and Responses I can get a battery cheaper at Walmart/ Autozone/ elsewhere. This might be true but we can install your new battery while we change your oil saving you time and travel expense. Who makes your batteries? The PowerVolt brand of batteries is manufactured by Johnson Controls and is marketed by Interstate Batteries. The PowerVolt battery we install will meet or exceed your manufacture’s requirements for your vehicle. It started this morning. And it might start a few more times as well. Our testing system is designed to give you advanced notice that your car might not start. It does this by checking the battery’s current strength against the original level required by the manufacture to start your vehicle. Our goal is to provide you with information that will help you avoid a costly or inconvenient situation where your car won’t start. I don’t have time. We can install a new battery while we change your oil and it will not add any time to today’s visit. My spouse makes those decisions. If it convenient for your spouse, we will be happy to speak with him or her and bring the test results to his or her attention. I’m about to get rid of this vehicle. I completely understand that you do not want to put any more money into the vehicle than needed, but you also do not want to get stranded and a new battery can bring added value in selling your vehicle. I just bought this battery. I would recommend taking it back with our test results and have them perform a test on your system to make sure that there are no problems with the electrical system of your vehicle.
