About Us

Commercial Truck Success

Commercial Truck Success
is a company of people who have a serious passion for selling commercial trucks. Through that passion, we have created systems and programs to help dealers be more successful in this unique market.

Today, there are quite a number of dealers who stock a few commercial trucks, but few of them are really successful in this market. Many dealerships have a fleet department who happens to sell commercial trucks and we promote a commercial truck department that happens to sell fleet. The difference is pure profit. The commercial truck market is a retail market, not fleet, but it is unique and does require a slightly different approach. At Commercial Truck Success, our systems and programs will help you be very successful and profitable in this unique market and have it be something that works well within your dealership scope. This is one of the greatest values of our system.
Entire Dealership Growth

In addition, this system will create substantial growth for your other departments like service and parts. It becomes like a dealership within a dealership. The department brings business to your store that does not come in now. This is another unique value: an operation within your dealership that is continually bringing fresh business through your doors for all of your products and services, not just commercial trucks. With the commercial truck focus, we have a unique opportunity to grow all of your business by our business to business marketing approach.
We Guarantee Results

What is best about Commercial Truck Success is that we are bold enough to guarantee results. If you follow the program and do what is necessary, we guarantee that you will produce results. Here is how we can do this:

We have started two commercial truck departments from scratch in two different dealerships beginning in 1989 and made them number one in their regional market for that make. In the last case, the regional market was from Alaska to Bakersfield, CA, including northern Nevada and Hawaii. That is a large area. In addition, we have taught this program to others who have had similar results.

Our systems focus on effective daily activities that produce results over time. Accountability for activities is designed into the system. It is a manageable system. The best part is that it has been proven time and again and it produces results. And, last, the system is complete from start to finish to cover the entire operation of the commercial truck department.

We build this department based on your goals. When we learn your goals, we can design our program to help you achieve them. Whether your goals are large or small, our system is flexible to match. We also have a Turn Key Program where a dealer may be very aggressive and build a large commercial truck department from scratch (or from the ashes) in the quickest time frame. This program is full on, full time, full profit and guaranteed to produce those results.
Training Materials

We also offer training materials and in dealership training programs. We have developed training materials from our own experiences since 1995. Over 1,000 salespeople and managers have been through our Commercial Trucks 101 class alone. We have a complete line of training classes.
Inventory Management System

Commercial truck inventory management is one of our specialties. We have developed this system since 1989 and it is well proven and used by many dealerships. This inventory system makes sense to a dealer and is designed to maximize turn and profits while keeping flooring costs at a minimum. This system also adapts to a complete database for statistics and effective forecasting.
