About Me

Just out of high school, I began working in the automobile industry as a porter/mechanic's helper moving quickly into a position as a technician. I was soon promoted to service advisor. Then I Advanced to new and used car sales, until I moved into management. By the time I was 26 years old, me and Bryan had purchased 38% of Ken Cowden Chevrolet.Today, I'm a professional automotive sales trainer. My company works with salespeople, manager, and dealers to help them increase their productivity, make more money, and live more fulfilled lives. I am really good at helping salespeople create satisfied customers, and reap the many rewards that success brings. I wrote a book a few years ago called "Selling Cars: The Handbook of the Professional", one two years ago called "Automotive Sales A Career Opportunity for Higher Earnings, I have another out now called "Bryan the Business Manager"
