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.

This entire experience was truly pleasant and absolutely painless, from start to finish. Alon, my salesperson, was so patient and kind about my many questions - and Abood from finance walked me through each painless, from start to finish. Alon, my salesperson, was so patient and kind about my many questions - and Abood from finance walked me through each option and document in lay person’s language, making it straightforward and therefore making me extremely comfortable with each step. Finally, Henry did an extraordinary job walking me through my new car - knowing when and how much to explain so I understand the features, but didn’t get overwhelmed. I commend Smythe - I was dreading this process and it was seamless - if you’re feeling the same and in the market for a Volvo, go see them. More

Keep up the great wor explaining the features of the new car. This is my first Volvo and I appreciate his attention to answering all of my questions. Keep up the great work, Jeff! Alon exudes professionalism with a dynamic personality. He is skilled at his craft and dedicated time and patience assisting me with purchasing my first Volvo. Alon’s service during my first visit to Smythe is why I returned to the dealership and chose Smythe to handle business. Buying a car is one of my least favorite things to do. However, I thank the team at Smythe for your efficient service. More
