Chip Thomas' "Sail to Success" Seminars... A Huge Success!

Last week, OADA in conjunction with Chip Thomas Consulting, held two 1- day training seminars in Columbus , OH featuring Chip Thomas’ “Create a Business Within a Business.”  There were over 125 salespersons, general managers, department heads and dealers in attendance.

 

To give you some background on Chip…he was a featured speaker at the OADA Convention.  Because of the overwhelming response from the dealers at the Convention...OADA negotiated a special rate for OADA members.  Chip Thomas has been the number one salesperson at Gatton Honda-Mazda-Nissan in Tennessee for the past 25 years.  Chip brings a unique “real world” perspective to his sales training seminar.  His goal is to change and reshape the culture that currently exists inside most dealerships.
