What Makes Us Unique
We at Dealer Synergy take great pride in being the leaders of change. We are proud of the organization we have built and embrace our constant desire to be different, to possess cutting-edge thinking, to never become complacent, to always stay well ahead of the curve, and to bring all of our passions and skills to life through our services. There is no other automotive sales training and consulting firm quite like us, and for that we are grateful, and also for that, we have more nationally recognized success stories than any other automotive internet sales training and consulting firm in automotive internet sales history. There are many factors that make us unique, including our people, our history, our experience, our skills, our diversity, our approach, our network, our resources, our technology, and our results.
Our People
Synergy is defined as the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects. It is the very thing from which our organization was built and the very thing from which our team is comprised. We believe that our people are our greatest differentiator and our synergy and diversity, in skillset and experience, make us quite like no other automotive sales training and consulting firm. We have made it our mission to align ourselves with the most forward-thinking, progressive individuals that share our values and passion to win, and work each day with the sole purpose to serve our dealership clients, and feed their success.
Our History
In 2004, Sean V. Bradley, our President and founder, founded Dealer Synergy out of pure progressiveness. Sean started selling cars on the showroom floor and immediately became a 30 car guy. He was salesman of the month, month after month after month. Shortly after, he realized that there was a whole new opportunity with Internet Sales. He was taking faxed in leads and converting them to sales-LOTS of sales! The dealer principal decided that this was brand new territory and decided to have faith in Sean’s ideas and processes. He developed a small team and went from selling 0 cars from Internet leads to 110 cars, back in 2000! Dealerships still today are only now seeing the value of the internet. Can you imagine selling over 100 units a month out of an internet department back in 2000? Sean soon realized that he had a gift for automotive internet sales and after working on the frontlines for about 5 years made the decision to share his skills, knowledge, practices, processes, tactics, and strategies with the rest of the automotive world. Sean’s history and being the creator of change has allowed us to be well ahead of the curve and the thought leaders in automotive internet sales.
