Started off as a Volvo Technician in 2004. In 2005 I joined the Paul’s Volvo Sales team as a Master Salesperson till August 2019. Joined Smythe Volvo in September 2019. My 14 years of Sales Experience have taught me to listen more to the customers’ needs and then answer these needs directly. As a product of Dale Carnegie training, winning friends & influencing people is a core concept of my Sales process. Understanding my customer’s point of view helps me to answer their vehicle needs/wants effectively.

Zero pressure, made us feel completely at ease, and we got a great deal on our new XC90. Justin McKinney is incredibly knowledgable and has tremendous patience, having spent nearly an hour with us demonstrating all the new features and configuring our car to my wife's liking. Buying a car is usually an unpleasant activity, but Smythe has mastered the art of the customer experience. These are high-integrity people who know their product and are committed to your satisfaction. We couldn't be happier with the car and the experience. Highly recommended! More
