Grant Cardone and The Cardone Group Awarded the "Dealers' Choice Award 2011"

April 1, 2011 - PRLog -- “The Cardone Group” is being recognized again by the Automotive Sector as the #1 sales training company in the automotive industry with The Dealers' Choice Award for 2011 sponsored by Auto Dealer Monthly. This marks the 5th year in a row in which “The Cardone Group” has been awarded by the dealers.

The Cardone Group is located in Orlando, FL where its primary focus is to provide automotive sales and automotive management training at their four-day training institute, a full technology-support team, and 15 trainers that travel the country year-round to work with auto dealers in store. With over 600 dealers as client, they also customize training programs with many of the major manufacturers.

Grant Cardone has worked in the automotive sector for over 20 years and has been a long-time advocate for auto dealers. He was the first to introduce non-confrontational, information-assisted selling to the automotive sector. He can regularly be seen on CNBC, MSNBC, and Fox News delivering professional advice on the economy, government regulation, and the automotive industry. Most recently, Cardone, worked with the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) to pass the Brownback Amendment which successfully excluded auto dealers from the bank reform bill.

Cardone states, "I founded the Cardone Group with Scott Morgan, president, and the goal of this company was to bring automotive dealers new and innovative tools to improve the customer experience.  We were first to market with negotiating software to improve the purchase process, trademarked EPencil. This tool makes the purchase process transparent, the sales team credible, and the buyer able to get everything they want on the first presentation. No one wants to spend four hours going back and forth to negotiate their best deal!"

Cardone Group is also a partner with the National Automobile Dealers Association on a number of projects. Cardone recently customized a state-of-the art Virtual, 'ON DEMAND' Sales Training site specifically for automobile sales training, sales management training, finance training and automotive service training. This on-line, web based training platform provides auto dealers with sales meetings, sales training, sales motivation and even sales solutions 24/7 can be found at http://www.SalesTrainingVT.com.  

Cardone recently spoke at the NADA 2011 Convention in San Francisco to over 1,200 auto dealers, Digital Dealer in Las Vegas, The Innovative Dealer Conference in Denver, and then spoke at the Automotive Leadership Roundtable to a very exclusive audience limited to the #1 Franchise Dealers from all brands in the United States.
