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.

The dealership is well organized, transparent, and they truly focus on customer service rather than pressure sales tactics. Everything from the test drive to the final paperwork was handled efficiently. Highly recommend Smythe Volvo if you’re looking for a great dealership experience. More
