Cross Training Benefits Everyone On the Team





From the Assignment: Your Turn - Finance Calculations and Deal Structuring Calculations.



"As a Sales associate, it is good to understand how the finance department does their end of the deal. knowing how they operate will help me work with them for future deals. If I can better understand how they do their job, I can help make their job easier by knowing what information they need and I can help the process run more smoothly, keeping everyone involved happy. Also, by showing an understanding, perhaps the finance manager will see that I have potential to someday do their job which would be a great advance in my career in the auto industry."  Thomas B., Professional Salesperson, CA

What is Your Purpose?



            “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
Confucius

“When I realized that the best asset that we have is ourselves and the long term relationships that we can build by showing others that we truly care for them and their needs, then the next big step will be to master the art of loving the prospect/buyer and be able to express that love in such a natural and contagious way that will make them love you back by buying from us or referring their friends and family members.. I believe that this improved way of selling or “loving” the customers comes from the heart, is memorable, and will create such a great synergy that will translate into living a meaningful life of purpose. For me…that's a way of living!!”  Walter M., IL
