Gilbert Escalante, Sales (two time graduate) – Ron Smith Buick/Pontiac/GMC
“I came here with an open mind. I was under the impression I was going to learn more practical “hands-on” information. There was way too much new-age psychology. I do not believe reality is what you perceive it to be. I believe some people are right and some are wrong. There are standards and truths in this life whether you teach it or not. If there was anything I could do to get a refund, I would. I do not believe in evolution. I don’t appreciate the attitudes towards those who pray and I got weary hearing about your gods. You are teaching pure foolishness.”
Gregg Kortesma, Salesman – Ron Smith Buick/GMC/Jeep
“This is a program that I want to come back to every year, not so much for what I learn but for what it helps me remember. Michael’s sincerity and desire for us to succeed is obvious and greatly appreciated.”

Ronny Montgomery, Salesperson – Tiesiera Ford
“Everything was great but I think some consideration should have been put in preparing lunch. There were some vegetarians who couldn’t eat. This is the first seminar I have been to that didn’t ask if there were any eating restrictions.”
David Berg, Sales – Fresno Dodge
“It was a very good session. Michael was awesome throughout. There was no vegetarian food available. Therefore, I starved and it took twenty five minutes to get and that too: only fruits. Buffet will be a good option. It’s hard to attend session with an empty stomach.”
