Ryan Stewman (a.k.a Hardcore Closer) has never had a salaried job in his life. He has a real 'eat-what-you-hunt' mentality which fosters his consistent entrepreneurial approach to sales.
In this special rewind episode, we revisit a timeless conversation with Ryan Stewman. Ryan walks through the best way to navigate negotiating and closing a car deal. Using real examples from his life as a car sales professional, he shares a unique way of viewing everyday challenges that every car pro faces.
What We Discuss in This Episode:
We start by digging into what really sets a closer apart from just a salesperson. Trust me, there's a big difference. Ryan shares why being a closer is about more than just making the sale—it's about sealing the deal and getting paid.
Ryan doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to the stereotypes that plague our industry. He talks about how to rise above the negative perceptions and build genuine trust with your customers. His approach is all about honesty and transparency—being real with people so they can be real with you.
One of the standout moments in our chat is when Ryan breaks down the art of persistence. He shares some killer examples of how sticking to your guns can turn a no into a yes. This is about mastering those tough conversations and never shying away from asking for the business.
Play the game
Not only is it vital to know the game you're playing, but you need to be willing to play it.
It's crazy how many car pros complain about the negotiation process when working a car deal, but that's just part of the game. If you take the time needed to know how to navigate the game, your chances of winning increase exponentially.
Thanks, Ryan Stewman!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
