Automotive Leadership Retreat | Louisville, KY | September 13-15, 2022
Build Strong Relationships Fast with Dealership Decision Makers
Mastermind sessions where you help dealers become "Industry Leaders"
What Dealer Members are Saying
Listen... We get It.
One of your biggest challenges is getting the time and the opportunity to talk with decision-makers. Getting quality appointments is frustrating for most sales teams.
The same market force that is making dealers change how they market and sell to clients has impacted vendors. Consumers research a dealership’s inventory and pricing online. Dealers now save time and effort by researching potential vendor solutions online.
There’s nothing worse for you than investing in big trade shows and conferences, looking for ways to grow your business, but wasting your time and money.
The reality is that dealers still attend these conferences for networking and manufacturer meetings. BUT they DON’T walk the exhibit halls with the same intent to listen and buy from you the way they used to.
There’s a much better way.
What would happen if you participated in the same mastermind methods taught by Napoleon Hill and used by business icons like Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Elizabeth Arden, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk?
Imagine working hand in hand with dealership decision-makers, helping them achieve the best results in their dealerships’ most important profit performance growth areas.
That’s what you’ll do at Business Bourbon & Cigars. You’ll unite with top-performing Dealers, General Managers, Fixed Ops Directors, and Marketing Managers from single-point stores to large dealer groups representing all brands.
During mastermind sessions, you will work together to help each other grow faster and solve each other’s business struggles – infused with bourbon, cigars, and fun.
Dealers will respond to your calls, texts, and emails when you’re a trusted friend, especially when you demonstrate your expertise, credibility, and authority made available through cooperation with others (your mastermind alliance).
Business, Bourbon, and Cigars – what more could you want?
