Reviews
"Leadership in Sales & Management is excellent for the new manager, the seasoned manager, and the prospective manager. Experiencing the course has changed my mind in how managers need to b e trained. I'm a veteran of this very tough business. My original thought was, "what can I possibly learn? I know everything there is to know!" Leadership in Sales Management gets the student to think. I have actually gone back to individual lessons, printed them out and used them to train my team. This is a priceless collection of lessons for the businessman, the parent, and the game changer. I have already made so many changes to my own personal management technique. While I am an advocate of so many of the principles and doctrines of this course already, the details of real leadership have been re - defined in my mind. "

"Leadership in Sales and Management. Good course. I think that a leader doesn't say that he knows everything but demonstrates what he knows by jumping in and assisting whenever needed. This course has helped me to remember that assisting both the salesperson and customer greatly benefits all of us and helps to build the company up by creating a positive customer relationship and better more confident salesperson.

Dennis Yamamoto - F&I Manager
"I am currently training with the F&I department, learning the dealership's F&I program. I was moved to this function from Straight/Floor Sales. I rate the Leadership in Sales and Management course an excellent one. The subjects covered are specific and presented in simple but very effective manner, easy to comprehend, and helpful in real life situations. I believe that handling these management problem scenarios utilizing the pointers from this course will result in very productive achievements. My management appreciates the fact that I took the initiative to study this F&I certification on my own volition at my own expense. This is one of the reasons why I have been moved from Floor to F&I. I have learned a lot to put into action where I am at right now. I would highly recommend this course to everyone."
Wilfred Solancho, Airport Marina Honda - Sales/F&I Hybrid
"Excellent rating for Leadership in Sales & management. I definitely think a dealership should offer this course to anyone going into management. It shows & teaches a different side of the business that is important to keep a happy workplace while still growing the company. Very solid course that teaches what to do in certain situations that are bound to come up as a manager. I strongly believe this course could help with turnover rates & creating happier employees."
John Dreyer, Jaguar Land-Rover - Internet Sales Manager
"I rate the course, Leadership in Sales & Management" as EXCELLENT. The course has been a "good look into myself" and towards others. It has given me the strength and confidence needed to make decisions, to help motivate others, to give praise when deserved and often, to know when to correct and to know when to replace. It has also reminded me that being a servant leader and to love others and to put others first is the key to success. It was thoughtful, motivating and inspiring. Thank you for that. My favorite line was to "count your blessings, not your troubles". If we could remind ourselves of this several times per day, I think we all would be in a better place in our lives. I know firsthand how this attitude has changed my life. "
Kari Schwear, Euroclassic Porsche - F&I Manager
"My position at my dealership is Floor manager /Internet Lead Director I was promoted for my skills on great communication and phone skills in my store, I was very impressed with this last course and it in depth information on how to be a professional manager. The course Leadership in Sales and Management was excellent. I was very excited about taking these classes, because I felt there was more to management than a title and those classes made a big difference in the way I handle myself in my position at my dealership now. I am always looking to expand my knowledge so I can do the best at my job and to be of service to my fellow man and this program has helped me do that."
Robert Thompson, Carbone Honda - Floor Manager
"Leadership in Sales & Management was Excellent Training Content. I would highly recommend to others. Every dealer should implement this training at their dealerships. It is very important to have proper leadership to grow the dealership from within. I have seen many dealers who have great management but poor leadership skills that hold them back from being great places to work. I would prefer to work for a dealer who uses this training over a dealer who does not any day. If you do not have great leadership your ship will stay anchored no matter how good the crew on board is."
Dan Trammil - F&I Manager
"I will rate the Leadership in Sales & Management course as Excellent. It's very simple, a leader is made and not only by experience, but a good leader will also investigate and try to learn new ways to be better and help everyone be better. This course will give you tools that if really internalized, they will help you become a good leader, to understand what a leader means and how to take the best out of your team. My employer will see the benefits of the Leadership in Sales & Management Course those days where I'm at the dealership by myself and they rely on my decisions and ability to face different types of situations. "
Pedro Mora Romero, I Drive Auto Sales - GM

Vincent Tolbert, Internet Sales Manager
"I am an Owner/Operator. Excellent Leadership in Sales and Management. I have been in sales and management in some form or fashion for over 20 years.

Joe Moss, Owner
"Currently I work as a sales consultant at First Kia at Simi Valley. I rate this course (Leadership in Sales & Management) very high (Excellent) What I have learned is to be a different salesman and now I can be a great leader; this course gave me all the tools to deal with any situation. And trained me to deal with the Customers, to love them and make them a friend, and for the sales team, how to train them, how to set the standard for sales people, how to hire and fire. And manage and coach and use their talent. And work like a team and not to be a selfish Leader. I can see my improvement already. I am a top producer and had the highest gross profit this month. I was first place in June and again in August. (Leading the board!) I am closing more deals, and have a better closing ratio, holding more gross, have a very good CSI, and keeping my customer happy. I feel great. I've been selling cars for 14 years, but never felt this way before."
