“Great to see you once again. I picked up some new things that will help me become a better manager and husband.”
Jerry Gibson, Sales Manager (two time graduate) – Larson Dodge
“Michael’s use of techniques combined with people skills borders on brilliant. This is my second attendance and through the application of a large majority of the assets I acquired here, I’ve moved from the bottom 3rd in our store to the top three, and I am only into my 20th month in the auto retail business.”
Chris Estrada, Sales Consultant (two time graduate) – Saturn of Puyallup
“Michael, it is always a pleasure to get a re-affirmation into the more sophisticated side of car sales and to reinforce one of the main keys to my success in the car business: the fact that at my age (48) I can continue to absorb and embrace new ideas and remain a student.”
Rick Thompson, Sales Manager (three time graduate) – Hinshaw’s Acura
“Michael has a unique way of delivering his teachings in a way where it’s as if he is speaking directly to you. His use of humor and real life stories keeps the 8 hour class fresh and exciting. It is obvious his seminars are focused on his sincere love of human beings and he is truly intent on improving our lives both personally and professionally.”
Bill White, Sales (two time graduate) – Hinshaw’s Acura
“I’ve heard the tape set and was impressed. Seeing it live clarified the questions and helped make more sense of everything. It was simple and to the point, which is a very hard thing to do with the load of information taken in.”
Robbie Davidson, Salesman – Auto Plus Superstore
“Incredible ideas to use at work and in my home life. This workshop is the only one I have experienced that has changed the way in which I will live my life. Sincerely, there are some major personal home problems that I will be able to deal with in a new and positive way. There truly was a reason I was in this seat today – more than I could ever tell you!”
Pat Dillon, General Sales Manager – Burien Toyota
“I’ve been to many workshops and this one touched bases on most of the things I learned in the past, all in one day!”

Eric Davis, Sales Manager – Friendly Chevrolet

Dave Seeman, Salesman (two time graduate)- Mallon Ford
“Very fulfilling!”
Robert Ziegler, Sales & Leasing – Hinshaw’s Honda

Darnell Carter, Sales Consultant – Friendly Chevrolet
“This was very helpful and I will apply as much as possible.”
Therron Horne, Car Sales – Hinshaw’s Honda

Cindy Beckwith, Sales (two time graduate) – Friendly Chevrolet
“This has helped me refocus ideas I have learned in the past and developed new ones!”
Darren Matthews, Sales – Dwayne Lane’s Chrysler

Joe Kobeski, Sales Consultant (two time Graduate) – Saturn of Puyallup
“I thought there was a great amount of useful information. The only thing I would recommend is to possibly have 2 seminars at different times for half a day and half the price. It was difficult to keep my attention to where it needed to be to absorb all the information you had to offer over a whole day.”
Vince Falda, Sales – Burien Toyota
“I personally did not come to the event seeking any great revelation, rather to find an idea or two to help me along my path. At this time I am not sure that I have achieved this. That will require time for study and reflection. But I don’t feel my day had been misused. Thanks.”
Brian Appleby, Sales/Mentor – Dwayne Lane’s Chrysler/Plymouth
“Very motivating, less “training” than I expected. Instilled compassion and a real feel good program. Would love to listen for days.”
Bill Allen, Sales – Gene Pankey Motor Company
“Forgive me for noticing, but you did not address my question on prostitution at all. The root cause of it and what can be done to sell the car instead of price. You segued to low balling (good stuff) and missed my point completely (or avoided it). My point is why be afraid to sell the value and not only price! Rather it is typical for weak sales people to quickly stoop to an invoice based buying experience. This is not price fixing – it’s give away fixing!”
Mike Cook, Professional Sales – Harnish Lincoln/Mercury
“I really enjoyed the parts of the program about State Management and Empowering Self Talk and Emotional Control. I feel this will be my area of greatest improvement. I have often wondered about why I was feeling down and sometimes up for no apparent reason. Now I have a better understanding and the tools to control my thoughts and emotions.”
Charlie Albert, Sales Rep. – Dwayne Lane’s Chrysler
“Good refresher of existing basics.”

Ted Klarich, Sales Manager (two time graduate) – Burien Toyota
“Great learning and re-learning experience! Class size was okay. I think I liked the size of the class last year better, it was smaller. It’s about time Michael came back! The overall delivery of today’s workshop helped me regain focus. I want the tapes on “CD” format.”
Duane Cruz, Internet Sales Manager (two time graduate) – Hinshaw’s Acura
“Great! Even better then the last one! A+ job! Thanks very much.”
Michael Deocampo, Internet Sales Manager (two time graduate) – Harnish Automotive Group

Kieran Regan, Sales Consultant – Hinshaw’s Honda

Wil Blackmon, Salesman – Hinshaw’s Honda

Sterling Alexander, Sales – Auto Plus
“It was something that I needed to save me. God sent it to me at the last moment. It is an inspiring experience and I feel obligated, emotionally and as a person who loves people, to pass this on to those that are important to me. A+! It was great! BRAVO!”
Milica Micic, Sales Person – Tacoma Dodge
“Customers wanted: will train. So often we lose track of how to fulfill our job requirements. We really blame the customer for not wanting to buy a car, when in actuality, it is us that needs to sell, not clerk.”
Paul H. Pineda, Sales – Tacoma Dodge
“This is my second visit and I find Michael very informative. I like the way he ties work and play together.”
Mike Luddington, Sales Consultant (two time graduate) – Saturn of Puyallup
“Management should have their own day or preview separately. Also they should come with sales staff. They won’t release in front of their staff.”
Kele Kanno, Sales – Larson Group
