AutoKnerd: Where the Sales Floor Gets Smarter
Dealerships don’t need more hype, they need more humanity. AutoKnerd is the podcast for automotive pros who believe great sales start with empathy, trust, and genuine curiosity about the customer.
Hosted by veteran trainer Andrew Sardone, we break down the modern Road to the Sale through real-world stories, science-backed strategies, and honest conversations about what works and what doesn’t. Expect smart talk, sharp humor, and the occasional trip through car history or behavioral psychology.
Each Thursday, we explore how kindness and competence can actually move metal, boost CSI, and build careers that last.
Bring your brain. Leave the burnout.
Kindness sells. Let’s prove it.
