To lead dealership staffs, Breckenridge draws on his years of experience training his employees. When he was in the auto industry, Breckenridge served as the trainer for a 2,000staff dealership group. It was memories of working with those salespeople that drove his new career. "To me, the fun part of the business was getting out and dealing with my employees one-on-one. I spent a lot of one-on-one time with my group," he said. When at each dealership, Breckenridge not only works with employees, but he also consults with management to assure that the finance salespeople will absorb the education that will help the store succeed. His goal is to leave the dealership with the strategies they'll actually use going forward. "You have to look at: What does the general manager want? What does the owner want?" he said. "You have to take what they're interested in, look at their staff and see what works for them." Having been part of both the powersports and automotive industries allows Breckenridge to easily step into a dealership and teach best practices because he's been in the GMs' shoes. "I think that's the big bonus. I've had customers curse and yell at me. I've had employees sue their employer. I've had employees fight me on sales process," he explained. "When you throw this out — 'I can't get my salespeople out of their seats to talk to their customers,' — I've been there."
