About Dealer Wins
About Us
We are veteran automotive industry experts with over two decades of collective experience, including team members who began their retail careers in 2003 selling cars, with some advancing to become General Managers of high volume metro Hyundai stores by 2015. In March of 2015, we made the decision to focus our energy on the parts of the industry that we truly enjoyed. We found satisfaction in spending time with people who wanted to get better at what they do, wanted to advance in their careers, and were willing to try different things, so we started with Automotive Development Group, (later becoming part of Brown & Brown Dealer Services), where we thrived in an environment that allowed us to make connections, and more importantly, make a difference at multiple rooftops with various cultures and philosophies. It was here that we determined that “One Size Fits One” applies to the world of coaching & training more than a company using a “Big Box” approach might want you to believe. We discovered that everyone learns differently, and there is no magic formula or process that guarantees success. There is, however, a bit of magic that you can only experience when you cross paths with a team who has the necessary experience required to be helpful, has a passion for growth & improvement, and not only commits to your success, they use it to measure their own.
