Attendee Comments – December ’00 – Phoenix

“This is the first workshop I’ve attended that the trainer wasn’t simply an “I man.” I like the idea of touching on emotions and personal values (I.E., family attention) during the day and not just grilling fundamentals the whole time. Thanks Michael! See ya in one year!”
Skip Beeswy, Sales Manager – Coury Buick/Pontiac/GMC

“I learned far more than how to sell cars. You reminded me how to be a better person, which seems far more important. Thank you for a great and possibly pivotal day.”
Michael Cook, Sales Consultant – Big Two Toyota/Oldsmobile

“Truly an integration of advanced principles and techniques for the automotive professional. Michael Hargrove lays out the concepts in an enlightening way with earnest effort and interest. The hearts of champions will applaud his material. The aspiring champion will be better! Everyone will benefit.”
Mark Pace, Fleet/Internet Manager – Budget Car & Truck Sales

“I planned to just come to make more money. I’m sure if I apply (these skills), this could change some things I don’t like about myself and my personal life! Thanks!”
James Haas, Sales/Leasing – Berge Mazda/VW

“I not only learned some new things after 8 « years in the car business but the speaker, Michael, was very sincere and real, and that’s refreshing. Thanks.”
Troy Mercer, Sales – Budget and Daewoo of Glendale

“When you came to my dealership, I didn’t think it would be a good idea to expend $300 I didn’t have but your passion for your work was very apparent and you were able to connect with me individually which most trainers do not. I have several things to take home with me and a new found desire and strength to better myself. Thank you!”
Shanna Stewart, Sales – Big Two Toyota

“Phenomenal experience, loved it!”
Travis Scott, Sales Consultant – Bell Road Automall

“Fantastic! This put the rules of success into easy, usable categories that I can relate to. Usually, things look so difficult that I’m defeated before I start, but I feel I can actually succeed at this.”

“I got more out of my third time than I did the first two times combined. I wish my management valued this opportunity for training as much as I do. Training leads to professionalism, which leads to a higher percentage of closes and to a potential for higher gross. The humor segment needs an example of each type of joke. Great start though.”
Rick Martin, Sales (three time graduate) – Bell Road Automall

“Unlike most seminars, Michael Hargrove doesn’t just give us lines to use, but makes us self- evaluate ourselves. By doing these exercises we better ourselves, which makes for a better salesperson.”
Bill Himes, Sales – Big Two Toyota
