“The best time and money I have ever invested in my life.”

“It was great!!! More smaller interactive games can be added. Seminar was too long and should be broken into 2 days. Both groups go 8-12 or 1-5 for 2 days rather than all in 1. Too much time on objections. Great speaker, best I’ve had so far in the last 2 ´ years.”
Trista Sullivan, Salesperson – Courtesy Ford

Rod Gergen, Sales Associate (two time graduate) – Gresham Toyota

“Having too many green peas talking about how to do things! I didn’t come here to listen to pre-mature “Dealer Plates” talking. Michael knows what he’s tlaking about. It seems to me the management at most stores are virtually worthless in the aspect of training their people. Michael you’re great!”

Melissa L. McMurrick, Sales – Gresham Toyota

“My second time here. I use this as an athlete uses a B-12 shot. It gets my mind back to basics, while using updated ideas as well. I only think that it was a bit too much like the first time I came. Maybe a few more changes would help, maybe not, what do I know? I do know I’ll return! Thanks.”
Jeff Harding, Auto Sales & Leasing (two time graduate) – Murray Chevrolet
