Become Unstoppable

Sell Twice As Much In Half The Time

Being successful today isn’t just about what to do, it’s also knowing what not to do. Less sales failures mean more sales successes. Today’s transaction ready buyers are often ready to buy at the first point of contact. Are you closing most of them? If not, why not?

For over 40 years, we have hand-picked and co-created the careers of the best trainers and speakers such as Jackie B.Cooper, Grant Cardone, Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy and many, many more.  Duane Marino is the automotive trainer of today and embodies the best traits of the best in his field, past and present. He not only understands the market and the inner workings of a store, he can actually do what he teaches in a store personally and does so regularly at stores across the nation. I can say that every salesperson, manager and dealer should take advantage of what he has to offer, from phone to sales to closing skills, management training, F&I and sales psychology. HE’S YOUR MAN.

While in the midst of the worst economic downturn and automotive contraction the United States has ever seen, we knew we needed something different, fresh, motivating and effective to help our dealers get out of the slump. So we sought the best we could find and found Duane, flew him to our Washington studio and he did a 2 Hour Power Talk, broadcast across the nation. The feedback was instant, awesome and unanimous. He’ll be back soon for another show.

We have been using Duane’s sales programs for my sales people for years, so when he described his Dealer Group Program it only made sense. Open access to the Academy Programs for Sales, F&I, Service and Management, MarinoTV, his books, in-dealership and group training has streamlined our training efforts, reduced my training expenses, and helped my team maximize their potential!

What I have found most about Duane’s (training) is that he’s a study of the best parts of all the best philosophies. He’s got certain aspects that you’d find in other types of training, but he’s blended them new things and modern methodologies that make it completely his own. And if you are not taking his training, you’re really only getting a fragmented version of what could be a better training, which would be his!
