Last week marked a significant milestone for the Price Family Dealerships as we ushered in a new era of excellence and learning. Our newly remodeled training facility at Toyota Sunnyvale was abuzz with energy and anticipation as we welcomed 15 newly hired employees from our Toyota Walnut Creek, Sunnyvale, and Marin locations. This special session was not just any ordinary training – it was the inaugural class led by our new Corporate Trainer, Rob Davis, under the prestigious Mike Levy Training Academy.
The week was dedicated to immersing our new team members in the Price Family philosophy, a cornerstone of our business that sets us apart in the automotive industry. At Price Family Dealerships, we pride ourselves on our open and transparent approach to selling vehicles. Our “Simple Price, Simple Process” motto means our customers enjoy a hassle-free experience, with our best price posted upfront, eliminating the need for negotiations. This philosophy is essential for our new hires to embrace and understand, as it is the foundation of the trust and loyalty we build with our customers.
Rob Davis, stepping into the significant shoes left by our beloved Mike Levy, led the training with a blend of wisdom, compassion, and expertise. Mike Levy, who had been our guiding light and corporate trainer for over a decade, left behind a legacy of excellence and dedication to education. His passing was a profound loss for our family, and finding someone who could carry forward his legacy was no small task. However, in Rob, we found a gem. With his extensive background as a Corporate Trainer for the Audi corporation, Rob brings a fresh perspective and a wealth of knowledge to our team. His first class at the helm of the Mike Levy Training Academy was not just a training session; it was a testament to our continued commitment to excellence and growth.
Held at our newly remodeled Training facility at Toyota Sunnyvale, the session was a blend of interactive learning experiences, practical insights, and heartfelt discussions about what it means to be part of the Price Family Dealerships. There were mini-sessions led by Kevin Pang, General Manager of Toyota Sunnyvale, and Brad Barnett, our new COO and GM at Toyota Walnut Creek, as well as phone training from corporate Digital Director, Alan Ziffer. The facility itself, equipped with the latest technology and designed to foster an environment of collaboration and learning, was the perfect backdrop for our new hires to begin their journey with us.
As we look to the future, we are inspired by the potential of our new team members and the direction in which Rob Davis is poised to lead our training programs. The legacy of Mike Levy lives on through our commitment to excellence, our dedication to our employees’ growth, and our unwavering focus on providing our customers with the best possible experience.
Welcome aboard to our new hires, and here’s to the beginning of a new chapter filled with success, growth, and the pursuit of excellence. At Price Family Dealerships, we’re not just selling cars – we’re building relationships, trust, and a community that feels like family.
