Attendee Comments – February ’06 – Fresno

“I have been to seminars about selling cars, but Michael brings it all home. Sales doesn’t end at the lot, it reaches home. After this workshop, you will not only become a better sales representative, but a better individual throughout your entire life. Be prepared to change the way you sell, think, and live!”
Daniel Rocha, Sales Rep. – Lithia Nissan

“This is my second experience in your workshop and I must say I look forward to the third. I forgot how much I forgot! Not only will this help me to be more successful in my career, but also in the training of my sales force. Thank you and see you next year!”
Stephen Fabris, Assistant Sales Manager – Lithia Ford of Fresno

“Michael: You have a real talent for connecting with your ‘audience’. Although I am not in sales directly, I found this workshop quite different than any other ‘self-help’ seminar, and was pleasantly surprised. I will see you again next year! Thanx again. I will have my homework done, that’s a promise! I see the value in doing it.”
Sandra Drzazga, BDC Manager – Mercedes Benz of Fresno

“I initially did not take well to Michael and his (training) style. I made a mistake. The workshop was powerful not only for my career but for my entire life. I still have the fire inside me, and I found it again today!”
Chris Dodson, Sales Manager – Honda North

“I am/was skeptical of ‘motivational speakers’ but I did promise to come here open minded. I was impressed with Michael and the information that was presented.”
Stanchain Green, Sales – Lithia Ford of Fresno

“A truly enriching experience for me. These principles will help me in both sales and my day to day life. This workshop was absolutely worth every penny.”

“Michael is an outstanding coach with superior delivery and presentation skills. This ‘one day workshop’ will have an immediate impact on my ability to close while maintaining high customer satisfaction ratings. The large crowd made it difficult for you to keep the back row (on the left side) engaged. They were distracting at times.”
David Tilbury, Sales Advisor – Fresno Acura

“I feel like I got some information that could help me but I don’t feel like it will help me sell more cars at the dealership I’m at because there is no traffic and the management is not putting enough effort and money into advertising to increase traffic; and thus giving me more chances to close sales.”
Robert Louis Warner, Jr., Sales – Fresno Dodge
