“I haven personally attended training classes and Manufacturer dealer meetings that Dan has facilitated, and would highly recommend his programs to others. He has extensive business experience and his programs are very different from his competitors, in that they are structured around academic business concepts, rather than just skill development. He is a highly educated executive and brings significant value to any boardroom or training room discussion. “

“Rather than bulk classroom training, our needs required a more hands-on on-site assessment approach. While we had some very unique challenges, very quickly our business needs were understood and assessed. While the solutions made sense, implementation was the concern. It required building relationships, trust, and mentoring with different team members in order to make the transitions. The implementation was very smooth and surprisingly we were able to change the necessary behaviors and processes without losing any of our valuable staff, and maintaining their engagement through the process.”

“After a substantial management career, I personally attended several of the manager training programs that Dan facilitated and found them to be surprisingly beneficial. While he certainly knows how to deliver an enthusiastic program and engage an audience, his programs are substantially different from commonplace motivational seminars that create short-term excitement but have little long-lasting benefits. The content development and delivery are more like university courses, where business concepts are taught, discussed, and then applied to current and relevant business problems that managers are confronted with. I would highly recommend Dan’s firm for business development consulting or team development training to any business looking to improve their bottom line.
One of the specific programs that my sales team and I benefited from, was the DISC Personality Profiling program. The program teaches sales people how to quickly identify common consumer personality types and adjust our processes and behaviors to match the consumer buying habits and motives. This ultimately improved our sales abilities, increased our sales closure rate, and led to giving the consumer a higher level of customer service experience. Dan suggests it will improve sales closure rate by 30%, and on reflection I would say that is probably accurate. My whole sales team took the program in various stages and was highly motivated from the learning. After receiving the management version of the course, I received enough instruction to be able to support and maintain the new learnings moving forward. Understanding personality typing myself, has led to improved hiring practises as I am able to read people better in the interview process, and better employee retention as I know how to modify my management techniques relevant to the personalities of my team. I would highly recommend the program for any managers interested in improving their team’s sales performance.“

“In my 20-year career in the automotive industry, working with multiple manufacturers and retail facilities, I’ve had the opportunity to attend many training events hosted by Dan Karasz. I have found great value in time spent not only for my own personal growth, but huge benefits for my team as well. Dan’s team truly have an in-depth understanding of business needs, and always seem to have the ability to turn course content into real-world applications and strategies that I can employ for immediate results. If you really want to dive deep into your challenges and make some impactful changes, Dan is your guy. I’ve referred him to many of my business colleagues and will continue to do so.”

“Over the years during my career, I have attended several of the programs that Dan has facilitated. The training has always been different and significantly better value than all the other manufacturer sponsored training I have attended. While the content is always current and interesting, the programs go well beyond information share, and use case study examples to bring to the fore the relevant business principles to consider in effecting change. These learned principles haves stuck with me over the years and given me the confidence, support, and motivation I needed to make some of the more challenging business decisions. I have always found great value in the programs for my own personal development, and as such felt the exposure was necessary critical development for my team. Dan is a strong relationship builder and many of my team consider him a mentor. “

“When we invest in training, one of the biggest concerns I have is whether the program will translate to action. From my experience, it is one thing to engage an audience, but something completely different to alter behavior once someone returns to the routine of the job. This firm can successfully do both. The workshops are very interactive, with activities and dialogues rather than lectures, case study analysis to solidify new learnings, and mixtures of topics and technology to keep it interesting. The programs are exceptional at selling the value of change and encouraging application of the concepts which translates to actions.”

“I have attended several of the courses that Dan facilitates through different positions in my career growth, and I would highly recommend him for training all levels within the dealership. He has the ability to control the training room, go above and beyond the course content, make the content exciting, and make sure everyone is getting the best out of the program. I even found value in taking some of the courses more than once, even though that might appear to be a waste of time. Dan is confident, energetic, caring, and I have yet to see a business problem that he cannot advise a way around.“

“I have personally attended several of the classroom training programs facilitated for my dealers. They would readily suggest that the programs were exceptional in delivery, impactful in content, and provided practical and innovative solutions to real-time business challenges that were applicable long after the program was over. I would highly recommend these training programs to other buisness leaders serious about getting traction in their business.”
