“Luxury Isn’t About Price” How to Deliver Premium Experiences That Raise Gross | Marion Cain, Founder of ACE & Creator of Kharisma Mastery

Guest Marion Cain (ACE founder; creator of Kharisma Mastery) breaks down a science-based playbook for dealership sales and F&I teams to own the room, deliver luxury touchpoints (on any brand), and turn trust into revenue. We cover the first 90 seconds, nonverbal cues, “portable stories,” True Cost of Ownership framing, and how to use GPT/AI to tailor your pitch to any buyer’s personality, without losing the human.

You’ll learn

• Why buyers now follow salespeople and how to stand out in a saturated market

• The luxury experience blueprint (even if you don’t sell a luxury marque)

• The first 90 seconds: posture, eye contact, tone, cadence, confident welcome

• Status framing that stops margin compression (people pay more when status rises)

• “Portable stories” that customers retell (and why they convert better than features)

• True Cost of Ownership: simple math that moves logical buyers today

• Personality-based selling with GPT: your type + their type → custom talk-track in minutes

• The Dominoes Method to stack actions and create 3-car days + F&I platinum wins
