I am so excited about the competition between Wiygul and Same Day that I’m up at 3:00 AM working on the final details.
We have two very competitive teams in this contest. Dan Combs, GM of Same Day thinks that he has the best team and he’s been calling out Chris Burr.
Chris Burr, GM of Wiygul, is 100% certain that he has the best team and we all know how competitive Chris is! Look out Same Day!
FYI… In order to establish a starting point for the contest, we analyzed about 4500 calls for each team between January 1st and May 31st of this year. After analyzing about 9000 calls total, SalesMaxPlus calculated that Wiygul is ahead by only 1 point!!! INCREDIBLE!
Like I’ve been saying, “We have two evenly matched teams competing to see who communicates most effectively?”
Also, I realized the other day that ONE STORE could win two of the prizes, that is, one store could win both MOST IMPROVED STORE and BEST STORE during the competition. If they do, they will take home $5000 for the store staff.
In talking with Randy Calley over at Same Day, he’s already talking up the competition in a big way and Claremore store manager Dustin Garland told me yesterday that SAME DAY LIKES TO WIN!
We shall see… as Wiygul is a force to be reckoned with as their May Closing % of 74 indicates.
It’s going to come down to the wire! Every Sales Call Matters! A couple of sales calls could determine the winners.
Game On!
I’ll be posting news here on a regular basis during the competition.
