Are any "salesperson" training systems worth their weight? [NEWBIE QUESTION]

AI Summary

A new VW dealer in the Northeast seeking training systems for three new salespeople asks the community for recommendations after having no formal training program in place. The discussion yields suggestions for Jennifer Suzuki as a comprehensive program and Phone Ninjas for lead follow-up, though the thread doesn't develop into a detailed comparison or consensus on system effectiveness. The conversation primarily focuses on how the poster discovered DealerRefresh rather than exploring training solutions in depth.

Hi, forums!

Found this place from a comment in a car sales subreddit, and it's great to see so much info in one location.

DISCLAIMER: We have never used any sort of training system in the past (well, some video-based Joe Verde stuff fifteen years ago). Most of the people I have seen with clips on YouTube and such all seem a little either aggressive or plain old-fashioned hokey. I'm a NE United States franchise store, but I have 3 greenpeas at once and I feel like I'm not able to give them all my attention.

Thoughts? Anyone have a recommendation?

I second @Alex Snyder response and I'm also curious to what subreddit mentioned DealerRefresh?
 
Thanks for the feedback, I'm starting to look her up now. I should clarify it wasn't a direct mention - I was in the r/askcarsales forum looking up feedback on JM%A from stores using it, on one post someone mentioned seeing something in "the forums", I googled "forums for dealership employees", and then ended up here.
