ESTIMONIAL“We believe in the Philadelphia Training Center’s curriculum. It works! All new employees must attend the Entry Level Sales course. The 5 days of uninterrupted curriculum helps the employee understand what our business is all about and includes learning the steps to the sale, overcoming objections, prospecting and phone skills. Our partnership with DLA gives them the start they need to be productive sales associates. Additionally, our management team makes sure that each associate reads David’s book “Secrets of Inspirational Selling” and we read excerpts of the book during sales meetings.” Bruce Carlino, Sales Manager, Chapman Ford Mazda Lincoln Mercury “The Internet/BDC Class was awesome! It was a great experience and I learned a lot of new things that we will definitely use at the Dealership. I would definitely attend another class and recommend these classes to others.” Mehraan Moosa, Internet/BDC Manager, Brenner Nissan Dodge “I have been in the car business for 16 years and have attended many F&I training classes. This F&I course was the most informative I have ever attended. I learned more in 2 days than I have in all the others I have attended combined. This course will now be mandatory for all of our F&I Managers.” Sandy Adams, Finance Director, Mike Piazza Honda “I have enjoyed myself this week! I feel as though it was highly inspirational and different than anything I even imagined. I think I will be able to take a lot of this material back to the dealership and be successful implementing it in my daily life. I am excited to show my new knowledge with fellow coworkers and hopefully start a new culture of sales people at I.G. Burton! Thank you all for putting up with the I.G. Burton crew this week...We can be a handful!” Mary Helen Waltjen, Sales at I.G. Burton Mercedes – Benz “The Advanced Sales Class was the best sales training class I have been to. I am convinced that the things I learned will help me raise my personal income another $20,000. I thought I was good at selling cars, but now I know I will be great.” Lauren Potchak, Conicelli Honda “Why would you not take the time? Whether you’ve been doing this one week, one year or ten years – customer expectations is an evolution. Having a partner like David Lewis to support your business is monumental!” Carolyn Shoop, BDC Director at Bergey’s Chevrolet 19
