Frequently Asked Questions

Do we do live training in person?

While our core strength lies in our comprehensive online training platform, we provide flexible solutions that include both virtual and in-person training. We’ve found that combining online education with hands-on simulation creates the most effective learning environment.

Do we work with BDCs?

Absolutely. We understand that every dealership operates differently, which is why we’ve developed specialized processes for both BDC and non-BDC environments. Our program adapts to your specific organizational structure.

How do we get sales teams to buy into training?

Our approach focuses on making the training process engaging and results-driven. We’ve found that when salespeople see how our methods directly improve their performance and income, buy-in follows naturally. The key is helping them become unconsciously competent in their craft through daily practice and real-world application.

How do we get managers/owners/GMs on board?

We address one of the industry’s biggest challenges head-on: many successful salespeople become managers without receiving proper leadership training. Our program helps bridge this gap, providing management teams with the tools they need to effectively lead and develop their staff. We’ve seen that when managers actively participate, it creates a culture of continuous improvement throughout the organization.

What makes us different from other trainers in the space?

With over 30 years of experience and 500+ dealerships served, we’ve refined our approach to deliver measurable results. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions – whether you’re a major Toyota retailer or a smaller rural dealership, we tailor our program to your specific needs. Our focus extends beyond just sales techniques to include comprehensive management development, ensuring sustainable growth at every level of your organization.
