“My third time through and it gets better and I learn more each time!”
Scott Young, Senior Sales Consultant (three time graduate) – Beaverton Infiniti

“Time would have been better spent by narrowing the group to the same type of store/system. We do not turn or have crew chiefs. I found that I have been using some techniques that are outdated. I certainly learned some effective non-confrontational ways to help my customers.”

“State management will prove to be a lucrative tool. Thanks Michael. Good job. Keep it up!”

“I liked hearing other people’s answers about how they answer negatives and switch them to positives. (I liked) hearing about ourselves and not just how to sell cars because everything has to do with attitude. You do a great job getting the point across. Like you said, you can supply us with the tools but it is up to us to use them. How could we lose? You have a great attitude.”
Shari L. Cohn McCracken, Sales – Gresham Nissan

“I feel I’ve just touched the surface and the rest lies in my hands. From what I’ve learned at my dealership training, a lot of it was repetitious. I would of liked to have seen a little more creativity. More on personal motivation and NLP. But appendix A will help a lot. You can only lead a horse to water, he has to take the drink.”
