The Clear Path to Sales Manager – 14 Modules for Sales Killers Ready to Lead

This is the most real, tactical, dealership-specific Sales Manager training you’ve ever seen. No fluff. No nonsense.

Just a 14-step system to turn closers into leaders built by someone who's sat in every chair.

What they will learn:

  1. Why Being the Top Rep Doesn’t Make You a Leader

    You can sell 40 cars a month and still not be ready. Learn the mindset shift from assassin to general because managing others requires a whole new level of control, patience, and power.

  2. How Sales Managers Actually Spend Their Day

    You think they just take TOs and desk deals? Think again. Get behind the glass and see the real daily grind of multitasking, coaching, pressure, and heat from every direction.

  3. What Makes a Sales Team Run (and Fall Apart)

    You think it’s all about deals? It’s about rhythm. Learn the floor pacing, daily huddles, deal flow, and energy management that make or break a sales department.

  4. How to Earn Respect Without Acting Like a Boss

    You can’t just walk in and start barking orders. Learn how to lead peers you used to compete with without becoming a joke or a tyrant.

  5. Your New Job: Teach the Process, Don’t Just Use It

    You know how to sell. That’s not enough anymore. You need to train, inspect, and reinforce the process across an entire team. Learn how to teach what comes naturally to you.

  6. TOs, Closes & Playing Middleman Without Losing Control

    It’s no longer your deal, it’s theirs. Learn when to jump in, when to back off, and how to guide a close without stepping on toes or killing morale.

  7. The CRM Isn’t Just for Reps Anymore. It’s Your Playbook Now

    If you don’t know what’s happening in the pipeline, you’re not managing. Learn how to inspect activity, coach off data, and run your floor with clarity and control.

  8. Training, Coaching & Getting Buy-In From Day One

    You can’t lead a team you haven’t poured into. Learn how to run quick trainings, do targeted coaching, and build trust that turns reps into believers.

  9. How to Handle Drama, Excuses, and Weak Mindsets

    You’re not a babysitter but you better know how to deal with babies. Learn how to shut down gossip, excuses, and lazy thinking without blowing up your floor.

  10. How to Hold People Accountable Without Being a Tyrant

    No one respects a soft manager but no one follows a dictator either. Learn the line between leadership and control, and how to enforce standards with buy-in.

  11. What Sales Managers Know About Gross That You Don’t

    You’re used to chasing your number. Now you protect the whole store’s. Understand how to hold gross, support F&I, and control the back-end without killing the deal.

  12. Understanding the Bigger Picture: Inventory, Trades & the Desk

    You thought it was just about closing? Learn how desking, aging units, auction strategy, and trades all affect your team and why you’ll never succeed unless you understand them.

  13. How to Become the Leader They Trust When Shit Hits the Fan

    The team is watching you when it’s hard, not when it’s easy. Learn how to stay calm, make decisions fast, and lead from the front when the heat’s on.

  14. How to Prove You’re Ready Before You Get the Title

    The best promotions happen before the promotion. Learn how to think, act, and contribute like a Sales Manager now so when the chair opens up, no one else is even in the conversation.
