“I have been through every imaginable training program and workshop available. I have worked for dealerships from coast to coast and have seen all sorts of different styles and techniques. Michael Hargrove put many of these “canned” quips into real world selling situations and made those situations comfortable and effective. I highly recommend it! I was very skeptical initially but once it started, I couldn’t leave my seat! It was great!!”
