WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY:

“When we planned our first Manager’s Retreat, we wanted to be sure to bring in speakers that we knew understood our industry and what it meant to be leaders. With our stores increasing in luxury loan balance and inventory, we knew Sean would be the perfect fit for our retreat. Hearing from a speaker who has personal experience in our industry, in our market, with stores similar to ours we were confident that our team would respect and value his insight.

We’ve had the opportunity to hear Sean speak before at various conventions and events. We appreciate his research backed presentations, real life experiences, and hard numbers that he is willing to share with our group. He also added a tailored touch to our session, making it more personalized and impactful.

It’s been months since the retreat and our team still brings up topics that were discussed during our time with Sean. Our team left the retreat feeling more confident in their abilities to buy, loan, sell and TEACH luxury to their respective teams while embodying the leadership topics discussed in our session.

We couldn’t recommend Sean enough if you’re looking for someone who you can trust with your team.
