Ford Escape In Winston Salem Finds A Happy Home

Posted on by

https://www.FrankMyersAutoReviews.com – This incredible post showed up on Facebook April 28th, 2012. It was intended for a member of our Non-Commissioned Sales Team. I saw it, took a screen shot of it and had to share it.

“I told you the Ford Escape I’m driving I bought from there. I’ve experienced my name called out over the loud speaker and everyone clapping. Here’s a true story sales pitch for ya. During the carolina cash for clunkers last year they gave me something like 4,100 for a car I paid 300.00 for. AWESOME, right!!!”

Thank you for those kind words. It’s an honor to have another Uncle Frank Fanatic in the family.

How This Car Dealer Gets Clean

Posted on by

There are 2 kinds of people in the world. The organized and the rest of us. For those of you who fall into the organized category, all of us “regular” people surely envy your ability to make order out of chaos. Your ability to command clutter and control chaos is admirable.

And for everyone else, keep reading. This month, I’ve put together a Spring Clean Strategy For Dummies. Do these steps and watch control fall over your life and household, at least for a little while.

Ok, time to get started:

Purge!

*Take the Trash Out – Spend one day with a garbage bag in your hand and get rid of everything you don’t need and things that are broken and unsalvageable. Don’t stop at your house. Go out to your car and throw away everything that isn’t serving a purpose (or move it back into the house). Think of yourself as a trash superhero – you are conquering the clutter, one garbage can at a time.

*Donate – Gather together anything you can donate to charity or friends. Most of us could get rid of 30% our belongings and be just fine. Often the most organized are those with the least amount of stuff. They know when to move stuff out. Take a clue from the masters of clean and clear out your unused items.

* Out with the old, in with new. Store away winter coats, sports equipment, etc. Take time to organize closets. Don’t attempt to do this all in one day. Plan to organize one closet a week until you are done.

Shine, Sweep & Suck!

*Clean surfaces. Declutter shelves. Dust and windex like a mad man. Wipe away fingerprints and watch the sun come in through those clear windows. After you’ve rid yourself of dust bunnies, break out the broom and vacuum and get those floors clean. Ok, you’re almost done. Time to mop those floors. If you have a steamer, you can steam the grime away. With floors and counters clean, you should start feeling a little crisper. Might be time to invite a few friends over but first . . .

Make Your Bed!

*Studies have shown that people who make their bed everyday have a stronger feeling of control. Start your day organized and you are more likely to stay that way. So make your bed, every day. It might even be time to invest in some new sheets for spring!

Control Your Clutter!

*Control the clutter as it comes into your house. This means sorting your mail immediately and tossing items that are unnecessary. Whenever you bring in a new item, immediately get rid of something else. These easy strategies will keep the chaos from piling up around you.

Ok, all done. Doesn’t it feel good to be clean? Now in a few months when you’ve forgotten this brief lesson, you can do it all over again. Yeah, right!

Snooze Button

Posted on by

Daylight Savings Time again? Really?

It’s a sneaky little thing that snuck up on me yet again just a few weeks ago!

Remind me again why we do this twice a year?

Oh yes, this clock switching business all began during World War I – a valiant effort to conserve precious fuel that was needed to create electric power. A good cause at the time, no doubt.

But if you’re anything like me, losing a precious hour of sleep once a year is enough to turn me into a bit of a grump. Then, after a few days of adjustment, it is possible for me to rise up and actually get excited about the changing of season. Now you can imagine me standing on the hilltop singing at the top of my lungs, “Spring, Glorious Spring! Welcome Back!” Ok, not really, that would be a little overboard (I’m a little too manly to play Julie Andrews) but I am genuinely excited about the promise of sunshine ahead.

Sunshine gets me thinking about Spring Break. Spring Break gets me thinking about vacation. Hmmm. This year why not consider vacationing at home? Staycations can be a great way to save a few bucks and to keep yourself from the exhaustion that can set in after a week of travel. You know that feeling of needing “a vacation from your vacation!”

Rather than dealing with airports and long car trips this spring, why not save your energy and stay close to home? But don’t spend the week on the couch (unless of course you really want to) – here’s a few ideas to make your STAYCATION fun and memorable – so this Spring Break why don’t you . . .

Visit a Farmers Market.

Plant a family garden.

Plan a field day.

Turn your home into a spa.

Throw a spring-themed cocktail party.

Embark on a cycling adventure.

Attend a concert in the park.

Go hiking.

Go to a ballgame.

Be a tourist for a day in your hometown.

Reserve a room at a local bed and breakfast.

Be artsy – visit a museum to see the latest installation!

Get creative – plan an arts and crafts day.

Volunteer your time.

Plan a lazy day (stay in your pajamas and watch movies all day).

Use these apps to save money and time over Spring Break:

Gas Buddy – Find the cheapest gas on the go for free
Urban Spoon – Search for local restaurants by neighborhood, cuisine or price (with reviews)
Living Social – Save money on everything you do from dining to working out.

By the way, have I told you how much I dislike Daylight Savings Time? 😉

Posted on by

Winston Salem NC used car dealer, Frank Myers Auto Maxx, is excited to announce Mr. Eddie Long as “Non-Commissioned Sales Pro” for the month of February 2012; he sold an astounding 33 cars! Long has been back with Frank Myers Auto for almost six months after having previously serving his customers there for two years. In the small amount of time that he has been in this field, he has strived for the best and has been very successful. “I strive to show my customers how to buy the car of their dreams; this is my main objective. Everyone else sells cars and that’s easy. However, I offer my customers solutions. That’s why they keep coming back. It’s by design,” said Eddie.

Eddie Long was chosen the “Non-Commissioned Sales Pro” for the month of February 2012 for his extraordinary performance, customer service and dedication to the Frank Myers Auto Maxx. Long is currently second place for the record of most vehicles sold in a month; an astonishing 33 cars! Holding first place is Mr. Robert Thomas, who is still serving the dealership. Mr. Long utilizes his free time by spending it with his family.

“When I wake up every morning, my goal is to provide the ultimate car shopping and buying experience. It doesn’t matter what language you speak, how bad your credit is, or what culture you are from, I treat all of my guests  with the utmost respect, care, and professionalism,” Said Eddie. When asked what Eddie loves most about his career he responded by saying “I love my career at Frank Myers Auto Maxx because it allows me to help people. I have time to spend with my family, have a personal life, and it doesn’t impact my business life. Not a lot of individuals can say that nowadays.”

Eddie is an integral part of the Frank Myers team. He is a hard working individual that has accomplished a lot in his personal and business life. “This is the best team in the automotive industry and the funnest working environment in the world other than maybe Disney World. The initiative and motivation everyone has makes you strive for the top each and every time. The positive energy always keeps me going,” says Eddie.

Frank Myers Auto Presents: Slow Down Strategies

Posted on by

In a rush today? Me too. Seems I’m always rushing here and there, with no time to stop and smell the roses. These days, most people think of multi-tasking as a good thing. In some cases, it does seem necessary and harmless. I mean who hasn’t skimmed through a magazine while watching the news and eating breakfast? It doesn’t really hurt anybody and for most of us, we are so used to it that we actually enjoy it.

But news is now emerging that too much multi-tasking and over-scheduling can eventually take a toll on our emotional health so if we’re not careful, we can soon find ourselves in a state of burn-out and exhaustion.On that note, I’ve put together a few ways that we can all SLOW DOWN today . . . let’s try it together – can’t promise I’ll keep it up but for now, I’ll take a trip on the slow boat to happiness.
SLOW DOWN STRATEGIES . . .
1. Slow your morning routine down by getting ready the night before. Give yourself plenty of time to roll out of bed by going to bed earlier – this way you will have plenty of snooze time in the a.m. Plan out what you will wear, what you will eat and what you need to bring with you as you head out the door. Not going anywhere, you can still slow down your morning routine. Savor that shower. Linger over that bagel. Take time to enjoy the quiet still of the morning.
2. Drive slow. No answering your cell phone or texting and driving. Leave with plenty of time to make it to your next destination. (Then you can laugh at the people who race you to the next inevitable stoplight.)
3. Make mealtime a time to slow down. Chew slowly and take the time to enjoy every bite. This will help you feel full quicker and eat less. Also, you won’t need Pepto-Bismol at the end of the day either. An added plus!
4. Single task at work. Pick one task and refuse to be interrupted until you finish it. Focus on it. Don’t check your email. Don’t pick up the phone (I know, easier said than done). Work from home? Work with kids? Focus on one thing at a time, even if that means coloring with the kids without checking your phone.After you try these slow down strategies, you may be inspired to add more to the list For some reason, I’m feeling inspired to add one right now. I think I’m getting sleepy. ZZZZ. Just kidding, I’m not even on #1 yet.
