Mike Waller, Saturn of Puyallup

“I’ve been in the auto industry for a long time. I was a tech first and then moved into sales.

I would travel anywhere to see him teach. Thanks again!”

Greg Chomik, Sales – Hinshaw’s Honda

“Thank you!! This is my 3rd visit and I can honestly say that I am going to attend this program every year you come (regardless of my line of work). It is a great thing to experience and I will vouge for my growth and directly connect it to your course. Thank you Michael, CeCe, and all.”
Jeff McDonald, Salesperson/Trainer – Dodge of Bellevue

“I came to polish my skills and it definitely has the cutting edge.”
Eli Liske, Sales Associate – Hinshaw’s Honda

“General presentation was good in content & topics. The presentation was geared to a much different type of audience (colleague) than my associates. Overall presentation is often too flip or inappropriate for many/most of my customers.”
Mark Charles, Sales & Leasing – Lexus of Bellevue

“I’ve been here before and I plan on attending again. This is a course every sales rep should take annually. The content is great, but the interaction between the students and trainer is critical. There were a lot of excellent ideas!”
Eric Goebel, Sales (two time graduate) – Hinshaw’s Honda

“For the registrar and assistant rating, I was on the list but there was not a name tag for me and the assistants acted as if I didn’t belong here. It wasn’t a great way to start the morning. Michael, however, was great and I learned a lot today and took a look inside. I hope to attend another workshop in the future.”
Jeff Matison, Sales – Saturn of Puyallup

“Thank you for reigniting my attitude that has been faltering lately. I know this field is good for me and I can be one of the best. I just need a better blue print and reminder sometimes. This will help a lot.”

“I feel a lot of this stuff I can readily apply to my style. I was thankful for all the ideas and I’m walking away with a truly different attitude towards my own life and my priorities (“The Call”).

“I was a privileged participant! Thank you!”
Michael A. Reyes, Sales & Leasing – Kirkland Pontiac

“I’m new to the auto industry and I feel that the ideas and content of this seminar should enable me to double my income within the next two months.”
Chris Estrada, Sales Consultant – Saturn of Puyallup

“The man has given me passion because of his overflow of it. People might have heard some things offered today but knowing it and doing it are two different things. He makes you see the reason why you should and it’s like he puts you in the boat and even pushes you off and all you have to do is start paddling!”
Jeramy Cook, Sales – Auto Plus

Glenn Barnhart, Sales – Auto Plus
