Even with successful mentors, his growth was organic and he had to make his own way in an increasingly competitive and difficult environment. He had to fall, get up and fall again. He had to make mistakes, learn from them and make new ones.

 

Chris never set out to be a dealership manager. He set out to be the number one salesperson and receive a respectable paycheck in order to feed his family, never realizing that he could earn $20,000-$25,000 a month selling cars. As proof that you don’t have to be the greatest salesperson in the world, you only have to be willing to learn and apply yourself.
