Lessons on Life, Leadership and the Art of Business

Tom Maoli

Tom Maoli was born and raised in Nutley NJ. He has become one of New Jersey’s top entrepreneurs. He built and sold a global logistics company servicing medical technology companies in 700 cities around the world. He built multiple high end luxury car dealerships including Mercedes Benz, BMW, Lexus. Maserati and Alpha Romeo. He is a commercial realestate developer, also an antique and Classic Car collector, founder of the JoeZone Coffee company, radio host and more.

This month I sat down with Tom and asked him to share his success strategies.

Barry Farber: What’s your definition of success?

Tom Maoli: Achieving a goal you have set for yourself or your organization and becoming number one. BF: What are the elements you put into play to achieve the goal of a number one status?

TM: The first thing is clearly that I don’t know everything and I learn and hire the right people around me to educate me on what I need to learn. Driving sales in a car dealership is all about customer service and hospitality. You have to understand what the customer wants. Everybody thinks they want a car, and yes they do, but that’s not what they really want. They want to feel like their money has value.

BF: How do you differentiate yourself so people see that in your actions and in your environment?

TM: Everything we do in the dealership is based on hospitality. It’s about understanding who you are, what your needs are, what your family’s about, everything you like and what you do and building a bond between us and the customer.

BF: How does this strategy apply across all fields of business and in general?

TM: We are implementing the same strategy in JoeZone, a new coffee franchise built around a sports theme and hospitality mentality. When you walk into a sports bar they throw a beer up on the bar...well we’re different. First of all we don’t have alcohol, we’re a coffee shop. And then we are going to know everything about the customer. We’re going to know what teams they like, what players they like and we are going to feed them information through their smart phone on updates on their players and teams and trades. When they walk in we aren’t just going to talk to the customer about the weather but about everything that they like and are interested in.

BF: What are some key tips you’d like to share? TM: When you’re in business you need to make sure you’re making a profit. If you don’t make a profit you can’t provide that service, that value because you won’t have enough money to support that important function. You’ve got to pay good people to execute that business plan. You can’t give stuff away for free. I’m not saying gauge them, I’m saying you have to make a fair profit to reinvest back into the service. Also, knowing your customer is key. Anybody can get business. It’s knowing your customer that’s important. It doesn’t matter what business you’re in. If I was in the construction business or landscaping business...if I know my customer and I know how to make my customer happy they’re going to tell their neighbors, they’re going to tell the people in the supermarket and it spreads like wildfire.

BF: When you started in the car business what did you do from the beginning?

TM: As soon as we took over we started implementing a hospitality approach that we instilled into our staff, we empowered the staff to be able to take care of the customer and give the customer what they need. For instance, if you’re working and you can’t get your car serviced we send someone to pick it up and drop off a loaner car and then bring your car back to you. When you come into the dealership our goal is to tell you what you don’t need not what you need. Because if we tell you what you don’t need we build trust. And once we build trust with you you’re a lifetime customer. It’s not about selling one car, it’s about selling multiple cars to your family and your friends and everyone that you associate with. Create that positive lifetime luxury experience. That’s what it’s all about.
