1. Understand the AMSOIL Opportunity
Before you start selling, you need to understand what makes AMSOIL different:
- Premium synthetic oil and lubricants trusted for decades.
- Long change intervals up to 20,000 miles or one year.
- Strong customer loyalty once they try the products.
When you believe in the product, selling becomes natural. I’ve used AMSOIL in my own vehicles for decades, so I can confidently recommend it to others.
2. Set Up Your Dealer Account
Becoming a dealer is simple:
- Visit AMSOIL’s official website.
- Fill out the dealer application.
- Pay the small annual fee.
Once approved, you’ll get your dealer ID, training materials, and access to wholesale pricing. But remember, this is just the starting point.
3. Learn the Products Inside Out
The more you know, the more confident you’ll be.
- Read product data sheets.
- Watch AMSOIL training videos.
- Use AMSOIL in your own vehicles.
This allows you to answer customer questions without hesitation. People trust dealers who actually use the products they sell.
4. Find Your First Customers
Don’t wait for people to come to you.
Go out and find them:
- Friends, family, coworkers.
- Local repair shops and mechanics.
- Motorcycle, ATV, and classic car owners.
Offer to explain the benefits of AMSOIL. Share your own experience. It’s more powerful than any sales pitch.
5. Build Recurring Orders
The real success comes when customers buy again and again.
So…
- Set them up with AMSOIL’s Preferred Customer Program.
- Remind them when it’s time for their next oil change.
- Offer seasonal product suggestions (e.g., winter oils, fuel additives).
Repeat customers mean steady income without chasing new leads every time.
6. Promote Online
The internet makes selling easier than ever:
- Create a simple website or Facebook page.
- Post about AMSOIL benefits, maintenance tips, and special offers.
- Answer questions in car or motorcycle groups.
You don’t need to be a marketing expert. Just be consistent and helpful.
7. Keep Learning and Improving
Even after 20+ years, I’m still learning new ways to serve my customers better.
- Attend AMSOIL dealer events.
- Learn about new products.
- Stay up to date with automotive trends.
The more you grow, the more your business will grow.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pushing for a sale instead of listening.
- Ignoring follow-ups.
- Selling only to strangers and not building a network.
Remember, AMSOIL is not just about selling oil. It’s about building trust.
My Recommendation
If you want to succeed, treat your dealership like a real business.
Show up every day, keep learning, and focus on helping customers.
The sales will follow.
