What is Sellchology?
Sellchology is selling through psychology. There are proven principles that influence and impact the way people think, communicate, buy, sell, set goals or perform daily tasks.
I believe that if salespeople and managers understand why a sales technique works or what motivates customers to take action, they will be more empowered, motivated and effective.
I teach dealership sales teams how to use these principles to create a truly unique shopping experience for customers. This experience-based philosophy of selling generates incredible results for dealers and creates raving fans.
The most common areas that Sellchology will impact:
These areas will increase:
- Raving fans and advocates
- Energy and excitement about helping customers
- Confidence and consistency in sales staff
- Referral generation and outside prospecting by salespeople
- Unit production and profit per sale
These areas will decrease:
- Reliance on traditional media to get traffic (shrink your ad budget)
- Objections, hesitation and hostility from the customer
- Time it takes to help customers buy
- Stress in the sales process
- Sales staff turnover

‘Teaching your people how to think like a customer and make more money doing it!’
As one of the largest dealerships in the country we get hit with every possible training company and training vendor out there and I’ve see them all. Jonathan is by far the smartest and most real-world of them all. Not hype, not boring, his Sellchology just makes sense. He understands customers and he understands salespeople. I’m convinced he’s the best out there for teaching your people how to think like a customer and make more money doing it!
‘His stuff is real world because he still sells in the real world’
When was the last time you saw a sales trainer actually go out there and close a deal? Or when was the last time your managers actually wanted to get trained? That’s Jonathan! He still sells cars, closes deals, and that’s why his stuff just makes so much sense. His stuff is real world because he still sells in the real world. And that’s why my people respect him
and that’s why I use Sellchology.
‘Overall our gross is up $870 per unit on the last 47 units.’
I just wanted to let you know that since you showed us the desking ideas two weeks ago we have already had a noticeable difference in our gross. On trades we have been able to hold an average of $500 per unit on the last 47 units. I’ve been desking deals for over 8 years now and I didn’t know what to expect from the class. I always knew the psychology of a customer was important I just didn’t know how to turn that information into gross profit. Thanks!
‘Jonathan has helped us increase our gross
while growing volume.’Jonathan has helped us increase our gross while growing volume. I use to believe that they were mutually exclusive ideas and I had to choose which one I wanted, volume or gross. Now I understand why investing in my people is so important… Thanks Jonathan for all that you have done, I am proud to say I am one of your clients.
‘Will pay back the cost of the training on the first day if not the first deal.’
Loved it. Many useful techniques to employ at the store. Will pay back the cost of the training on the first day if not the first deal.
‘The information is fresh, it’s new, it works and it’s making us a lot of money.’
We have used Plan B [Sellchology] several times over the last 4 and a half years and it has worked great for us. The salespeople love it and the managers love it!… The information is fresh, it’s new, it works and it’s making us a lot of money.
