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.

Though Smythe Volvo was a great place to purchase a Volvo, everyone was professional, no xxxxxxxx.

Overall the experience was a positive one. Mike Davie was outstanding, he was very responsive to my initial online inquiry and every request after that. After initial contact with Mike, it w Mike Davie was outstanding, he was very responsive to my initial online inquiry and every request after that. After initial contact with Mike, it was a little bit of challenge getting a sales person to call me back, maybe because I'm out of state and they didn't know I was a serious cash buyer? Or maybe it was due to covid short staffing? Regardless, once Alon in sales got involved the process moved along pretty well. Upon arrival at Smythe I had some questions about how the car was serviced and I got honest, thorough, no BS answers from the service department (Mark I think?) which is what I expect from a Volvo dealership. David Diken also was outstanding, he clearly understands Volvos, has a passion for cars and also provided knowledgeable no BS answers to my questions. Other than the initial slow response from sales, the experience was a very positive one. I really enjoyed the 8 hour test drive back to NC in my pre-owned (but new to me) XC90! More
