Don't Just Take Our Word For It
“When we decided looking for sales training for our team, I started doing some research among training companies. After much thought we decided to go with The Kintz Group and I must say it was the best choice we could have made. Not only is their content up to date and relevant with today’s buyer, but their support staff makes weekly coaching calls into my team and my staff has improved, gotten back to basics and now knows how to properly handle each customer who comes in our store. If you’re looking for training for your team I highly recommend The Kintz Group!”
"Since starting Kintz NOW 2 weeks ago I have been focusing on my greeting, rapport and investigative questions and doing a 5 point walk-around presentation, making the car the star. Those small changes drastically improved each interaction I have had with customers. Last month I sold a total of 4 units and this month I am up to 12.5 with 1 more day to go in the month! Thank you Tim!"
"We've been utilizing Tim Kintz online platform for our entire sales staff and have seen massive results. Using Tim's methods our sales team has mastered overcoming option, equipment and price objections resulting in a 63% increase in gross! With inventory issues caused by the pandemic, each deal counts more than ever right now and we are so thankful for Tim's training!"
