Train Your Reps to Speak Dealer

Real-World Sales Enablement for Distributors Who Want to Sell Smarter—Not Louder

The Problem: Great Reps. Wrong Language

Your reps know the catalog.
But do they know what gets a GM to say yes?
Do they know how service managers actually buy?
Do they understand what’s happening behind the parts counter on a Thursday at 4:30 PM?

Because that’s what closes the sale.

Why I’m the Expert

I’m not a theorist. I’m not just a speaker. And I’m definitely not another “trainer.”

I’ve been the person your reps are trying to sell to.

I spent 10+ years in the dealership—as an independent shop owner, a franchise manager, and for over 6 years as a Parts Manager inside a 6+ line dealership.

I’ve lived every part of the margin math your reps ignore:

  • Sat in Tuesday meetings being told to scale back parts inventory—even though we were 20% up year over year.

  • Juggled vendor terms with cash flow 

  • Rush ordering a missing gasket for a rebuild while the tech held up a bay to finish a motor rebuild

  • Sourced parts just in time so the sales manager could close the unit

I know what makes a parts manager say yes.
I know what makes a GM kill a deal.
I know what builds trust—and what gets reps ghosted.

I built this training to solve the exact disconnect I lived through.
Because when reps speak the dealer’s language, they stop selling—and start closing.

The Real Problem: Sales Teams That Don’t Know Fixed Ops

Your reps know product.
They can demo features and rattle off SKUs.

But if they don’t understand:

  • Dealer cash flow timing

  • Service department bottlenecks

  • Why a GM buys from emotion, not just margin

…they’ll keep missing the real sales opportunity.

Most reps sell the part.
I train them to sell into the department.

What I Teach Your Team

  • How to position parts as margin multipliers, not just inventory

  • What Fixed Ops teams actually care about (hint: it’s not the free lunch)

  • How to create reorder urgency without discounting, unless we are hitting sales tiers

  • How to earn trust, not tolerance from decision-makers

  • What it really takes to build long-term accounts—not just one-time sales

Who This Is For

✔️ Distributors with field reps who call on independent or franchise dealerships
✔️ National brands who sell into Fixed Ops and don’t want their reps treated like order takers
✔️ Sales leaders tired of watching teams pitch great products with zero relevance to what’s happening inside the store

If your reps have been trained in product—but not in dealer logic—this training fills the gap.
