Have you ever felt like the odd one out in your dealership? Do you feel like you're not getting the respect you deserve from your colleagues, or that they don't listen to your input when it comes to how things should be done?
If so, then you might be the outlier of your dealership. And there's nothing wrong with that—it's just a matter of finding a way to work with what makes you different and use it to your advantage.
Today we'll discuss what it means to be an outlier, why it can be both difficult and rewarding and how you can use your outlier status to become a better leader.
An outlier is a term that's often used in statistics to describe data points that are far away from the main cluster of numbers. For example, if you're looking at a set of test scores and someone has an extremely high or low score compared to the rest of the class, they would be considered an outlier.
It means that you aren't like anyone else in your industry. You're the exception to the rule—the outlier. You're not just different from everyone else; you've taken a risk and done something that no one else has done before.
Being an outlier is a double-edged sword. On one hand, you have the ability to think outside of the box and come up with new ideas that no one else has considered. On the other hand, it can be difficult for people like you because your work will often be dismissed as too different from what everyone else is doing.
When it comes to being an outlier, there are a few ways that you can set yourself apart from other dealerships. Here are three ideas for you to consider.
You’re not a part of the herd; you’re a leader. You offer something unique that customers want. You can charge more for your products or services because customers will pay more for them due to their high quality and value. Being an outlier is a great way to stand out in the car dealership industry. By doing something different from what everyone else does, you can attract customers who are looking for something new and exciting.
It’s not enough to just be good at what you do. You have to be an outlier—someone who is better than everyone else in your industry. If you want to stand out from the crowd, here are some tips on how to be an Outlier:
So, are you the outlier of your dealership?
If you are, don't worry! There's nothing wrong with being different. In fact, we'd argue that it's actually better to be an outlier than a follower. It takes courage to stand out. You have to be willing to explore unpopular ideas that yield better results. But if you do, you'll find yourself differentiating your dealership in a way that sets it apart from the competition and makes it more successful.
