Due 90 Days After the Course, But You Don't Pay Unless They Perform and Stay
Our goal was to modernize and have all of our stores using the same sales system so we could more easily develop and promote our team members from within. FLOW Selling provides consistency with drastic improvements in sales, gross and pace of sale. I always attend and involve myself in group training. Onboarding new hires effectively has resulted in average of about 20 cars a month within their first 90 days.

Just before I met Duane I was already the #1 Hyundai sales person in the world. Attending his workshop I was a little intimidated by the over 100 people crowding around the doors to get in, but I sold FIFTEEN, yes 15 cars in the 3 days following your workshop as a result of what I learned!

Over the years I watched you evolve from step selling to menu selling to F&I FLOW Selling, attending so many of your classes I can’t count them. FLOW is undeniably the most logical, transparent, fast and easy process out there. Duane taught me how to turn my sales team into raving fans of F&I because if they don’t love me their customers most certainly won’t. Maintaining an average of $3000 to $4000 per copy wasn’t easy. I work and live in a very small community so ethics and word of mouth are everything. I’m always excited to come to your workshops to see what’s new and participate in the discussions!

After following Duane for some time online, I decided to bring him to Colorado to work with our entire management team of 13 stores. We had all managers from Sales, F&I, Service, Parts and Administration go through his management and leadership workshop. We found the information very valuable and received 100% positive feedback from all departments. His style of delivery was entertaining, respectful and memorable. Most importantly, his information is proving useful in our day-to-day operations. I highly recommend Duane to any group of Automotive managers and executives.

Duane's day with the entire executive team at our Auto Group Leadership Academy was amazing. The executable psychological management strategies suggested were not only usable but also very understandable and Duane's down to earth approach was very in line with our ethics and business Style. I saw Mr. Marino speak at the NADA conference in San Francisco and knew I had to bring him to our entire management team of 38 dealerships. We plan on having Duane work with us again in the near future
