🎙️ EP 18: The Coating Sales Strategy That Changed Everything for Us

Hosts: Andrew & Ercan
Podcast: Suds to Success

In Episode 18 of Suds to Success, Andrew and Ercan dive deep into the game-changing sales strategies that transformed how they sell ceramic coatings—and how it could change your business too.

If you’ve ever thought:

  • “My customers won’t pay for ceramic coatings.”

  • “No one in my area wants this service.”

  • “I don’t know how to sell coatings without sounding like a sleazy salesperson…”

This episode is for you.

💡 What You'll Learn:

  • Real Talk on Real Sales: Andrew and Ercan go head-to-head on their approaches to closing sales. Andrew’s all about automation, professionalism, and processes. Ercan keeps it honest, simple, and conversational—perfect for rural or skeptical customers.

  • Why Honesty Wins: From debunking myths about "self-cleaning coatings" to giving straightforward answers customers can trust, Ercan shares why transparency leads to loyalty.

  • The Power of Presentation: Andrew breaks down why image is everything. From how you answer the phone to what your shop looks like—customers notice. And they remember who followed up.

  • Tools That Work: Discover how sending detailed proposals, creating a professional online presence, and using systems like Able can turn interest into booked appointments.

  • Follow Up or Fail: One of the biggest takeaways? Most businesses don’t even follow up. Andrew explains why being the first to reply (even hours later!) has landed him contracts worth thousands.

  • Customer Experience is Everything: From making them laugh to “summoning an Uber” for a customer’s wife, it's the little moments that make people choose—and stick with—you.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

  • You don’t need to live in a big city to sell high-ticket coatings.

  • Be clear, be confident, and be human.

  • Stop pricing based on your own wallet—your customers value their cars and will pay for the right service.

  • Systems win. A website, a CRM, a sales script, and stock on hand are non-negotiables.

  • And finally… just answer the phone like a pro. Seriously.
