Automax sales training is a scam and the dealers are in on it especially Priority Toyota at 2000 Walthal Center Drive Chester Va. 23834 phone 804-796-1800. Owner Dave Perno and General Manager Steve Cochrane is letting them use there conference room for the classes and knows Automax is charging MONEY to the students. They also have another another location at 910 Colonial Heights Boulavard and several in Cheasapeake and Virginia Beach. They recently ran this ad in the Richmond paper and on Monster. This is a cookie cutter ad. You can find this ad in papers all over the country and all over Monster.com. Check it out for yourself just go to Monster and search Automax Sales Training. Priority Toyota Scion of Richmond ran this same SCAM back in December as well so this is not their first time at it. The ads run in the paper and on Monster and are quickly removed after the dates have passed to cover there tracks. The ad below was cut and pasted directly from Monster. Read my entire update and see how the SCAM just goes on and on and on. I have the proof in the pudding and on paper so NO REBUTTALS CAN OVERCOME ACTUAL PROOF THAT YOU CAN RESEARCH FOR YOURSELF.
A guy named Bob Stevens (Robert F Stevens) was the Automax rep at this one. His Direct cell number is 609-377-1788. He wanted me to pay him directly for this training. Right to his Paypal account which is [email protected]. I caught a glimpse of his Paypal debit card in his wallet when he gave me change for a five. He's slick be carefull. All 20 plus students graduated well the ones that paid did. See ad below cut and pasted from Monster.com

You can expect to receive unparalleled support from the home office as soon as your career begins. From initial training and business set up, this support will continue with ongoing training provided by senior level trainers and home office leadership to assist you in managing any challenge that may arise.
Once selected, you will receive comprehensive training in our sales recruiting and training process.in addition to the client opportunities provided to you by AutoMax, our senior management and corporate office will assist you in identifying and developing additional clients of your own. Our mutual goal is for you to develop 10-15 clients in addition to those that are provided to you by AutoMax. As you develop these clients, you should expect first year earnings to be approximately $70,000 - $90,000. Typical second year earnings should be approximately $90,000 - $125,000, followed by third year earnings of $125,000 - $175,000. There is a very broad earnings range; because the trainers are Independent Contractors, they have control over which weeks they work, how often they work and ultimately what they earn through their individual efforts, talents and abilities. Our top income earning trainers have between 10-15 repeat clients and earn approximately $125,000 - $250,000 annually.
So which is it what the ad they placed says or what their website says. You must wonder about a company that contradicts itself!!! You can talk to the owner via a conference call if you like. Craig Lockerd has a call in every friday at 1pm eastern time the # 712-338-8900 then enter pin # 7741 and let him know how you really feel. You will not find this # anywhere on the site unless you have insider info like me or go to one of the training classes yourself they don't ask for the money till the end and don't give it up.
My advice stay away from automax sales training and any car dealer that has anything to do with them. Don't work for them or buy a car from them and tell everyone you know. Word of mouth is the best advertisment and the media won't help because they make to much money in ads from both dealers and automax. The only way to stop them is hit them where it counts right in the purse because all they want is your money however they can get it!!!
Priority Toyota Scion of Richmond uses automax to train their sales people unehtical sales tactics in the name of profit. They have an incredibly high turnover rate for their sales staff. Both the owner Dave Perno and general sales manager Steve Cochrane are aware and promote the use of Bait and Switch as well as the Monty split and several other questionable sales tricks to sell cars and increase their profit margins. They even go as far as moving the profit from the front end of the sale to the back end to lower the commisions paid to their sales people. They expect new salesmen to work there first 30 days for free and sell a minimum of 6 new cars at an average profit of $2000 per car in their first 15 days on the sales floor. Then at the end of 4 weeks of 12 hour days they will only pay you $1320 before taxes and ZERO comission on the cars you sold. This is not even minimum wage it should be illegal. No wonder they have such a high turnover rate! They do not care because they make more profit off new sales people who quit after a short time. They just train some more and keep going. They prey on the uneducated and unemployed to do their dirty work. If this is how they treat their employees imagine how they treat their customers.in my brief time there I saw numerous irritated customers some screaming and yelling at Steve Cochran personally. This is a bad place to work and an even worse place to buy a car. Pass this story on word of mouth counts and please do not buy a car here. The only way to let them know the public won't stand for this mistreatment is to hit them in their wallet...
