To deal with this new reality, Duane is rolling out his fast, revolutionary, and trademarked sales solution called “FLOW Selling”. Consider it a “Road To A Sale” and “The Basics” on steroids. FLOW Selling lays out a simple, easy to follow, 4-step template that allows everyone to align with the customer and shorten the sales cycle. “Twice the Sales in Half the Time™” is a motto that is truly proving itself for his outstanding clients. Everyone else is talking about how they have a more engaging, faster sales process, but when you really look at it, all they suggest you do is rush through “The Basics” and speed up the same long “Road To A Sale”. That is not a solution. A new sales process is needed from the Meet & Greet to the Close, and FLOW Selling hits the mark for your Sales Professionals, F&I Managers and Service Advisors. They need to all FLOW.
FLOW Selling is an end-to-end solution that acknowledges everyone’s role with the customer experience, overall sales and profitability.
Please read ABOUT DUANE for his more complete bio and to better appreciate his approaches.
In her second year at the University of Regina, with the intention of becoming a teacher, she realized she couldn’t shake the automotive bug so her father got her busy in the shop doing detailing, changing oil, rotating tires and much more. It was not long before chatty Kathy started selling cars in her overalls! Her automotive life then grew into purchasing inventory, doing F&I, website management and every odd job in between (accept for accounting, as that was her mom’s area of expertise).[/ultimate_heading]

After several years of learning and success her family sold their business, so she started to sell new vehicles and become a Sales Manager by her mid 20’s. As a Sales Manager for almost 4 years she changed not only her own quality of life but also the quality of life for her entire sales team. She showed them what she learned from her dad – take care of your customers they will take care of you! Years of studying, learning, training, hard work, working smart and being honest allowed her and her team to excel in both good times and tough times.
Her strong point in management was training her sales staff and interacting with customers. Through training and improving her sales team she realized she still had a passion for teaching and her meetings were more like informative and practical entertainment sessions. Once she found Duane’s processes and psychology she was instantly hooked on his training style and delivery and made her entire team “drink the Kool-Aid” as she found his style, language, processes, values, beliefs and much more all gave her team a learnable and repeatable way to sell vehicles and how to live / thrive in this wonderful industry.
With passion and compassion Kathy can hold a board room, a training room and a showroom. Don’t miss the chance to catch her live at one of her events!

Duane invited me to attend his 3-day Sales Champion Training (which I self-funded). It was truly a life changing experience! I put Duane’s processes into action and the results were incredible. My sales instantly catapulted from 10 cars a month to 25-40 cars a month, with my best month closing at 52 cars (pretty cool when you are only 24 years old)! I would sit in the showroom and watch as others lost sale after sale, giving up unnecessary gross by working the old “Road To A Sale” and “The Basics” while I was posting record month after record month. The dealership next door did take notice of my performance, and asked me to join their team as a Sales Manager. It quickly became apparent that this new store lacked training and process. With the help of my GSM, we immediately ceased all advertising and diverted this budget into training, sending the entire team to Duane Marino. By building the skills of our team, we increased sales from an average of 40 vehicles to consistently over 100-120 within a few months. At one point we were the highest grossing dealership in Canada for the brand. As most of you know, I am proud to say that I am now part of the Marino organization.
J.C. entered the automotive industry in 1994. He has rotated tires, changed oil, detailed cars, sold cars, managed inventory, positioned himself as a closer, negotiated with lenders, excelled in F&I, and new and pre-loved car management. J.C. still sells cars today, does F&I and sales management, so you won’t be learning what “used to work” but will be mastering what “does work” from a master sales professional.[/ultimate_heading]

With some customers the answer is yes it can, and does. Why lose business to something as easy to fix as your perceived image. You can over dress, or under dress for our business, and what you need to portray to your market place depends on your business philosophy and brand. And there are some things that are non-negotiable.[/ultimate_heading]

OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The mission statement of the company is reflective of both the personal and professional values of our team. Simply:
- We have a passion for helping people and maximizing potential. We must all identify and strive for continuous improvement. Honest reflection while moving towards new goals; not letting fear, bad habits or complacency slow progress.
- We always leave everything and everyone better than when we found them. By definition, we must all make contact with others during the regular course of life and business – in this small world, every point of contact must have a straight intention with conclusions as positive as possible.
- We must be careful not to let strengths become weaknesses. Often, the same qualities that contribute to initial greatness are the same qualities that lead to eventual failure. Self-awareness is everything.
