Tell the ADM Community about your background, where you are from, or who you are:

For the last 10 years I have worked at developing and delivering focused training curriculums and management initiatives for OEMs, Suppliers, franchised and independent automotive retailers. Services are usually conveyed via seminars, workshops and in many cases hands-on in-store training directly with the dealership team members. My over 30 years of experience in the industry including holding executive and ownership positions in dealerships has provided me with an in depth knowledge of the retail automotive landscape. This brings a real world perspective to all of my training and consulting services.
The Seminar format makes the broadest impact in a casual learning environment, highlighting many of the changing sales techniques and processes with special emphasis on eCommerce initiatives. After a recent 17 city training tour focusing on Internet opportunities, development is underway on additional training for dealership staff in the Business Development area and in creating a smooth buying process for Internet customers.
Most of my consulting career consisted of in store consulting and training that focused on building relationships and in identifying the dealers pain points regarding Internet Sales Process, Business Development and eCommerce. I find dealers often need help with website analysis, lead generation, best practices, personnel, pay plans, tools, and templates, scripts, processes and ROI.
