• 6:28
  Speaker 3: sometimes summers are a little different.

• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, back to school is a bit of our our
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: super Bowl. Time schools are coming in, we usually go
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: to the back to school nights, re engage with the
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: kids in the community. Who's interesting because the kids are there,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: the parents are there, really get a lot of information
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: out quickly. And so yeah, we'll probably see our waiting
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: list spike here pretty soon. That's that's really Typically, it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Really starts with the kids who say, hey, i'd be
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: I'd like to be a part of that program, and
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: and they volunteer first, and then you have you're trying
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: to match them up with a with a big.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Exactly how it works. Now, We'll bring them in, We'll
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: do an interview. We'll really find out what's the kid into,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: what are they like, what are they not like. We
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: do the same thing with a volunteer that says, hey,
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: I'm interested in pouring back into the community. I want
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: to get back to a kid, We'll ask you the
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: same things. What are you into, what do you like?
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Are you introverted? Are you extroverted? And we find a
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: kid that's going to match same personalities and just start
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: that relationship off and then support it the whole time.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: We make sure we do monthly check ins and how's
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: it going? You know, is there anything you have any questions?
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Is there any way we can support you so that
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: you don't fill alone. That's that's kind of the process.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: That's awesome, and you know it's gets going.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: How do people get involved if they're listening to the show,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: let's assume they're potentially a mentor a big How would
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: they get involved. What's the process for them?
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the fastest way is to go to our website.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: It's big Oklahoma dot org. There'll be a button says
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: I'm looking to volunteer. It's a really short questionnaire. Then
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: somebody's gonna call you. Typically is gonna be Daniel, and
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: then we'll schedule an in person interview. Well, how'd you
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: come in? Really get to know you, and then we'll
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: get you on the on the waiting list. At some
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: point we'll call you, Hey, we have a couple of
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: kids we think could fit really well, what do you
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: think about these kids? And kind of go over that,
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: and then if it looks like a match, we bring
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: both the volunteer in. We'll bring the kid in. We'll
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: help you get your first outing set up together and
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: then kick it off right.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: How does the commitment work? How much time is involved
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: in it?
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: You know, what are their expectations commitment?
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: We ask for either one hour a week or two
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: hours every other week, but very short, you know, two
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: to four hours a month, and we're really flexible. We
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: understand things happen summertime gets busy, or I'm gonna be
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: on vacation for a week, Hey, yeah, just let us know.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it's not a huge commitment. We do ask
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: a minimum time frame of twelve months. That's kind of
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: what it takes to build that deep relationship and you.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Kind of evolves, right First of all, you're getting to
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: know each other at first, and then you know, kind
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: of goes from there. I know a lot of times,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: so go do things, go to activities, all kinds of
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: things going on in the community all the time.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: What else do you see?
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: What are some of the best things that they do together?
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, best things. Just spending time is number one. That's
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: what kids want so much, just somebody to listen to them.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: So if you if you can spend time just listening
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: to a kid, and that happens just driving in the car.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: I have a little brother myself. One thing we love
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: to do is just cruise around town. We just drive
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: around and he gets to tell me this is what's
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: going on or I'm kind of nervous about schools starting,
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: and just give him a little bit of insight, just
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: build that confidence for him. So time's number one. But
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, having dinner with them, going out, we
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: have a lot of great community partners, go bowling with
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: them or just small things. Take them shopping, if you
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: want to go buy a car, take them and show
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: them how to buy a that's a you know, a
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: great way.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point.
• 10:03

• 10:06
  Speaker 3: been exposed to.

• 10:29
  Speaker 4: those free tickets to the shows and letting those littles
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: experience the arts or a show things like that, that's
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: really it opens their horizons, shows them maybe what they're
• 10:39

• 10:41
  Speaker 4: exposed to.

  Speaker 3: we have and the and the way that our team works.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: You know, we do have no dock fees, no very
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: transparent sales process. We don't do it incentives where if
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: you do that then you can't have this, or you
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: do think requirements on how you how you buy a car.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: No one wanted dealer add ons that you need to negotiate.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: A lot of dealers have gone to this now or
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: go out of package, and you know, and that's in
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: the price, and it just kind of changes the.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Dynamic of buying the car.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: You may not want that stuff, it may be stuff
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: you want, just that it should be your choice and
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: you'll see some things. You know, some folks offer lifetime
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: warranties that are really a product of We offer the
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: BG lifetime warranty at the dealership, but we don't advertise
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: as as it comes with the new cars because there's
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: a lot of requirements to maintain that. You have to
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: do the BG services over time to keep the warranty.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: And you know that's available to you.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: You can do that if you like, and we just
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: we keep it simple and straightforward. We'll explain everything to you.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: We have a great digital retailing tool which is actually
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: the same tool that the sales management and sales team use.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: That's available on our website, so you can go in
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: and to kind of work your own cardial so you
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: calculate payments, add your trade, do your credit. Everything is
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: up there and kind of at your fingertips on the website.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Just allow you to go in.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: And you know, if you know, these days, people do
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: so much research in buying a car, and that's they should,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: of course. There's a lot of selection, a lot of
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: different powertrain choices, different kinds of vehicles, and with the
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: you know, the price of everything these days, getting a
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: good deal and the right kind of vehicle, we see
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: people these days really be an interested in long term
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: value of the vehicle and you know, not wanting to
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: spend extra money on the car and being sure that
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: it's going to have the reliability and value over time.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: And Toyota just just knocks it out of the park
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: in that way. The you know, the resale value on
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: toyotas it's one of the best resale brands in the market.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: We have great incentives, you great leases Toyota because of
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: the resale value. Leases you know you can and you know,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: when you purchase a car, you buy the whole thing.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: You know, if you're going to keep it for fifteen
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: or twenty years, that makes sense, but if you trade
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: every few years at leasing can allow you just to
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: buy that part of it that you're going to use,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: and you really, you know, can get it for a
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: significantly lower payment than often you're going to pay, even
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: with a longer term loan and low interest rates. They
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: you can get about a half of the payment on
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: a Tacoma right now, which is really you know, I.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Mean, we see a lot of people making that choice
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: more than they were a few years ago.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: And you know, at leasing, it's not the most popular
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: thing in our market, I admit that, but it's something
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: you want to look.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: At if your payment driven and wanting to get a
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: great value for your vehicle in Toyota has great lease programs.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Another thing about dealing at DUNGEUS is our team is
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: completely noncommissioned. The sales managers and salespeople they're pay is
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: based on how well they take care of our customers.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: And the volume that we sell.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Their team focused, they want to help us reach our
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: goals as a dealership and that takes a lot of
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: the pressure out of the car purchase. And we're always
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: trying to learn from our customers.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: You know this.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: We're not perfect. We are people, and we sometimes we
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: may come off wrong. You know, I had a customer
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: give us a bad review a couple of weeks ago,
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: and he put it on Google and put it on Facebook.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: And we've been trying to reach out to him. I
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: just remind everybody you know, please communicate with their business.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: If they frustrate you, we want to know. If they don't.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, I can't speak for others, but certainly a Dungeons,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: if we've done something wrong, we want to know. We
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: want to understand what we did wrong and how we
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: can do better. We can't learn unless you tell us.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: And it's you know, we know we're not perfect, and
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: if we drop the ball or do something that comes
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: off from we certainly want to know it and be
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: able to work with our team to do better next
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: time or for the next person. And it's not a
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: you know, we don't want to judge you or be
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: defensive about that. It's really from my point of view,
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: it's super important in how we.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Have survived for all these years.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: And you know, our business is hyper competitive, just like
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: every business in today's world. And we're a small dealership
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: in one community. We don't have dealerships all over the
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: country or any you know, there's the only one.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: We have here in Barnsville.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: And we're family operated, have been for since nineteen twenty
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: nine now, Todd, and that's a long time. And that
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: was the Ford dealership. We've got Toyota in nineteen sixty eight.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: We're the oldest Toyota dealer at this point in the
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: state of Oklahoma.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: And you know, we just want to be around in.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: The future and if we can't do it without our customers,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: and so that's what that is.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I wanting to make that point today.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: A shout out to the Dungeons Toyota Indians for their
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: state championship and American Legie in baseball moving on to
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: the regionals.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Big time stuff. Big time stuff. Been a long time
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: since we had that kind of success.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: It's really really a great testament to the to the
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: young men that are.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Playing baseball, and to the coaches.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: And very young coaches, the home coaches, and we had
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: them on at the beginning of the season.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: They've been pretty busy in the last.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Few months, but it's it's great for those who've been
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: out to watch them.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm talking about. They're really competitive.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Team this year and and they played great in the
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: state tournament and really are are reaching the peak right
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: now at the right time. And hope and wish them
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: success as they move on to regionals and throughout the
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: hopefully as the rest of this and it keeps going.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: That sponsorship started when my grandfather came to Bartlesville too,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: so and we've been recognized by the Guinness Records as
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: the longest corporate sponsor of a sports team in the
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: world right there in Bartlesville. The Dungeons family and Dunder
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Stealerships sponsoring American Legion Baseball.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: And we're really proud of that. And that goes back
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: to that, you.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Know why I want input from our customers, right, we
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: can't do stuff like that and stay involved in the
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: community at the level we do, and we try to
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: support all the great organizations like the Big Brothers and
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Big Sisters, and you know, that's I think is one
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: of the best things about Bartlesville for a city our size.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: You know, we have such strength and resilience and so
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: many great organizations that you can plug into.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: And I know you know that, and you know nonprofit
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: world here is so it's connected to it.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: And and yeah, I love how how that you all
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: work together, and you know, because it's it's hard. I mean,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: it's you know, you you have to all find a
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: way to raise the money you need to operate and
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: do what you do Luckily, the community is extremely generous
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: and I am supporting those that really do make a difference.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: And you know, and everybody has their little niche and uh,
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: you know, and and so much of it is based
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: on on our young people, on the kids in town
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: and giving them the support they need to be successful
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: early in life and then later on.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: And a big brothers Big.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Sisters is such a great example of that.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Like you talked about the way that.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: These relationships you guys developed can last over a lifetime.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: And I I know so many mentors who talk about
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: their their kids worked.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: With and.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: How you know, while it's a minimum of a twelve
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: month commitment, a lot of times it goes a lot.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Longer than our average right now is just over three
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: years the average.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when does it start or when does can a
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: child become involved?
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: First?
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: You you can roll when the child's six years old.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: We don't have any neither six. Most of the time
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: we see him coming in eight, nine, ten, that's kind
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: of general when it comes in, and then they go
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: all the way through. We don't kick you out until
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: you either graduate or nineteen eighteen years old, So whichever's longest.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Okay, And do you have a partnership with the Low
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: of where there used to be the Low.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Family Scholar, Young Scholars, Young Scholars.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Anybody that's a part of Young Scholars also is a
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: part of Big Brother, Big Sister. So yeah, part of
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: Young Scholars is to have a mentor, and we supplied
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: that part of that.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, and that that connects it on into the college life,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: into getting a scholarship funded by the Young Scholars program,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: and you know, so we can go in a way
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: beyond what happens here.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: And that's that's.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Another great way you guys partner with other organizations here.
• 24:14
