Okay… I’m just going to say what everyone else is too afraid to admit:
Car sales would be WAY more fun if we handed out championship belts.
Before you scroll away — listen.
As someone who spent years taking bumps, getting superkicked into backflips, and getting slammed through just about everything except a Ford Explorer… I know a thing or two about championships.
And I’m telling you right now…
This car lot is missing some gold.
Let me explain.
🥇 1. The Monthly Sales Champion Belt
Every dealership has a “top salesperson,” but let’s be honest — it hits different when you can wear a 15-pound gold-plated belt while signing paperwork.
Imagine this:
You walk in, and I’m sitting there behind my desk with a giant belt resting on my shoulder like I’m cutting a promo.
Customer: “So, uh… is that real?”
Me: “As real as these interest rates, brother.”
Instant icebreaker.
🥊 2. The Test Drive Tag Team Titles
This one goes to the duo who works together so perfectly, they could be the Young Bucks of the car lot.
You know — the salesperson + finance manager combo who just can’t miss.
Smooth handoffs.
Double-team strategies.
Perfect timing.
Someone tries to back out?
BAM — hot tag.
The closer jumps in like they’re saving the match.
Beautiful.
🚗💨 3. The “Most Creative Delivery” Belt
Oh, this would be my specialty.
Who can hype up a car delivery in the most ridiculous, over-the-top, wrestling-style way possible?
Fog machine?
Laser pointers?
Entrance music?
Yes, yes, and absolutely yes.
I want a full-blown entrance ramp next to the showroom.
Let me hit my pose.
Let the people cheer.
Give me the belt.
😎 4. The “Showroom Showstopper” Belt
Awarded to the person who’s basically the people’s champ of the workplace — the one who makes customers laugh, makes coworkers smile, and knows how to keep the energy fun even on slow days.
Spoiler alert:
This might already be me.
Just saying.
🏆 5. Why Belts Would Actually Help Us Sell Cars
Here’s the serious part — and I can’t believe I’m saying “serious part” in a blog about championship belts…
People love energy.
People love fun.
People love someone who shows up like they actually enjoy what they do.
A championship belt is more than a prop — it’s a vibe.
A confidence booster.
A conversation starter.
A reminder that even though buying a car can be stressful… it doesn’t have to feel like it.
I’m all about making this process lighter, smoother, and a whole lot more fun.
If I could hand out belts with every vehicle, I’d do it.
(Well… depending on management’s face when I bring that up.)
Until then?
I’m carrying my own imaginary belt — and every customer who walks out smiling feels like a win in the main event.
🤝 So if you want a championship-level car buying experience…
Come see me at Homer Skelton Ford.
I’ll treat you like a superstar — no belts required.
But if you want a belt for the photo?
I won’t say no. 😎
