My philosophy is to do much more than spend the day reciting motivational quotes and theory. I believe in "substance", not show. My training format is personalized. I will have direct interaction with each individual. Your salespeople will listen to me - they will relate. Relate is the key word. They will relate to me because I'm real. It's not only about how many cars you sell, it's also about how you sell your cars.

I've been hiring speakers for 36 years for Association Events. This was the best one day sales session I've ever participated in. Thanks.

CHIP THOMAS SETS ATTENDANCE RECORDS!
The Chip Thomas "Sail To Success" seminars hosted by SCADA in Charleston, Greenville, and Columbia have blown away the attendance records for any SCADA events ever held. Over 300 Dealers, Managers and Salespeople were on hand to experience the finest sales and customer satisfaction seminar that this writer has ever witnessed. Judging by the evaluation forms of the attendees, especially the Salespeople, the general consensus is "I have been to a lot of seminars and heard a lot of speakers, but never have I learned as much or been inspired as much as I was today. Chip Thomas is not just a trainer, he's a car salesman first and then a trainer. He has walked in my shoes before. Thanks Chip, your presentation was just awesome!"

INSPIRING! This is what we, here at San Francisco Toyota, think of you. What you have done in one day with my sales force has been truly amazing. INSPIRING! That's you, Chip Thomas!
Without a doubt, I can honestly say that your "Sail to Success" Seminar has reached each member of our sales force, unlike the many sales seminars we have had our sales force attend. By sharing your activities and habits, you have inspired and have motivated my team to "bring back the basics" into each of their day-to-day activities. More importantly, you have inspired each team member to be "true" professionals through time management, effective communication and creating a customer base that will develop into "advocates for life."
Already, I am seeing results. Hand-written notes are now being sent out; thus, discontinuing our "generic" dealership "thank you" letter; desk files are being reorganized to save time; balloons are on new car deliveries; and, more importantly, during the last few days, we're seeing an improvement in our new car grosses. You have taught them to have "no fear" when asking for the sale and for the price.
Dealerships spend thousands upon thousands of dollars to train their sales team to become professionals in an effort to improve sales volume and profit, with little and poor results. Based on the results I am seeing, we consider "Sail to Success" an excellent return on our investment.
