Between them all, the numbers reveal what separates us from the pack: about 70 people out in the field who do training for us, six state-of-the-art facilities where we provide in-classroom training, 24/7 online training, and the option of supplemental in-store coaching.

One thing you guys do real well is train. I love sending my people because I know they come back focused, and if they have issues with overcoming objections, I can send them back to school. I believe that separates your company from some of the other companies I've worked with or have knowledge of ... is your training process.
Michael Rentscheler
General Manager, Jim Norton Auto Group
It's not just F&I training. They train our BDC managers, our salespeople, and our sales managers. It's a total package of training. And they don't only just train and send you on your way. They come every week or two weeks to inspect and make sure all the processes we put in place are still being worked and still in place.
