From Step Zero
to Success
Build Skills, Drive Results,
Lead with Impact.
Buy Center Training
The Buy Center technologies have been perfected over the past 12 years and continue to evolve as the market grows more competitive. Every section of the process, every word track, and every technique is designed to be both associate- and customer-friendly while delivering industry-leading results.
In development, every script, email, and process was extensively A/B tested by two MBA students from MIT. Dealer groups that have fully implemented the system have exceeded expectations — some buying thousands of vehicles annually and generating over millions in additional gross profit.
These private party purchase vehicles are often unavailable at auction and usually come from customers the dealer would have never reached otherwise. A high-performing Buy Center impacts far more than the sales department — it transforms acquisition, profitability, and customer relationships.

Step Zero: Attitude, Energy, and Approach
Step Zero is a foundational guide for automotive professionals who want to win before the first word is spoken. Written by David J. Long, the book focuses on the mindset, energy, and approach that determine success long before the meet-and-greet, the interview, or the selection process. It’s not about scripts or tactics — it’s about building the internal framework that drives consistent, world-class performance in every interaction.
“I could not be prouder of this amazing team of buyers!! We set out with a goal, and with some help (David J. Long), we were able to reach it!! 1010 vehicles purchased from private party sellers in 2025!!
We are here and ready to make the car-selling process as safe and easy as ever!!”
