Steve Dorfman
Before founding Driven to Excel, Inc in 2006, Steve spent 11 years as an Acura Sales Consultant. Yes, the car business ... a business with a reputation for impeccable customer service, right? On the contrary, in case you weren't aware, most consumers carry a very negative stigma about car salespeople and the car business in general. So when Steve entered the business at 23 he was determined to make a positive difference by creating remarkable client experiences. -- More often than not, his unwavering commitment to impeccable service resulted in raving fans and increased profits. Steve went on to earn "Salesman of the Year" 7 years in a row, while maintaining a CSI (Customer Satisfaction Index) rating in the top 1% nationally. He worked by appointment only as his repeat and referral business rocketed to unprecedented levels and ultimately translated into 70% of his sales. All of this earned Steve a comfy six-figure income from his 35-hour workweek ... which proves that by subscribing to a culture of impeccability, you're ultimately rewarded with working smarter, not harder.
Today, clients hire Steve to motivate, educate, engage, and develop frontline staff with interactive trainings and continuous development programs that result in:
