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.

From the moment we walked in, we received excellent customer service. Alon was tremendous and attentive to our needs. Not pushy at all. I’d recommend this location to anyone looking to buy or lease a customer service. Alon was tremendous and attentive to our needs. Not pushy at all.

I visited Smythe Volvo today to look at a possible new lease for my next car. I do not drive a Volvo today but like the look of the small SUV. Alon was my sales contact and was informative, respectful, pr lease for my next car. I do not drive a Volvo today but like the look of the small SUV. Alon was my sales contact and was informative, respectful, professional and made me feel like a friend. I test drove a car and was pleased. Alon answered all my questions. He introduced me to Tom, the Sales Manager, as I was leaving and again, Tom made me feel welcome and valued. To contrast, I visited another dealer that same day (not Volvo) and the experience was horrendous. When I compare the 2 experiences today, it was like day and night and Smythe Volvo was the winner! I feel so strongly about how pleasant and impressive my experience was today with Alon and Tom I am happy to write this review. Thanks to Smythe for being what the client wants and needs. Very impressive!!!! Much appreciated!!! More
