Sales Training

Building a successful sales team

The most effective way to improve your sales department’s performance is to have a consistent training program. Utilizing our training services will insure your sales team has the tools necessary to be successful in today’s very competitive market. We have programs to assist your dealership in recruiting new salespeople as well as polishing the skill set of your sales team veterans. Our programs are economical and are customized for your dealership.

Today’s tight employment market makes it even more important to insure the success of your salespeople. No longer can you hire new salespeople anytime you need them. You must develop your own sales team. Your sales team’s success is directly related to their ability to market automobiles on a consistent basis. By offering your salespeople a consistent training program you are polishing their selling skills and providing them with the tools necessary to compete in this ever changing marketplace. If salespeople are selling automobiles and making money they are less likely to leave for greener pastures or get out of the business.

We offer 14 modules that are taught in 2 hour seminars. We believe that a 2 hour late morning seminar is the least disruptive and most beneficial. You will select a module on a monthly basis. The following is a list of available modules.
