INDUSTRY INFORMATION AND TRAINING HOW TO PAY MORE FOR CARS AND SELL THE PARTS FOR LESS Most of us have found ourselves at the auto auction where a friendly competitor consistently pays more for vehicles than we can. When we call them on a common part, we find they want less for the part than we do. Do you ever wonder how they can stay in business? Yet they seem to grow and prosper. Your competitor may already know what we will discuss in this detail-packed seminar. Designed to be simple to understand and implement, this seminar can increase sales and change the way you run your business.
