It is no co-incidence in my view that the dealerships under your control were No 1 with Volkswagen. This enviable sales position was earned as a result of your direct input, and there can be no doubt that the consistency of this number 1 position for Volkswagen in Australia was brought about by your professionalism, product knowledge and leadership.

John Heerings can be tedious to work for, to work with he shoulders more than his share of the load, to have him working for you simply takes a load of worry off your mind.
John is an exacting task master making no apology for attention to detail in all aspects of Automotive retail. Whether you are working on the visual presentation of a dealership, formatting administrative procedures or addressing sales processes John is a perfectionist. Better than that his personable manner and relaxed style gets the job done with a minimum of stress.
If you are looking for someone to beat the drum, ring the bell and generally make a racket, especially about themselves John is NOT your guy. If however you wish to empower your entire staff to work to their ability, receive thoughtful and balanced input in all aspects of your dealership go no further than John Heerings.
John not only is highly regarded in the know how department, he is a very accomplished dealer in his own right, having turned around many struggling dealerships in most franchises.
In tough times he is the perfect ally to have in your corner, remember you can’t do it all yourself.
Peter Spratt Dealer Principal Mighty River Group
John was employed by Eargers Retail and Holden Australia to develop a Business Fleet Development Program.
John has provided invaluable assistance to Eagers Retail over the last ten months, in which he implemented a training program aimed at developing our Business Development Managers processes and procedures. This program provided the BDM’s with a formal structure to assist them with prospecting new SME customers through direct mail, face to face contact and enhancing their telephone and presentation skills.
Over the course of this program we have seen a marked improvement in our SME results despite experiencing the financial crisis during this period. There can be no doubt that our team has reacted positively to John’s program.
I would not hesitate in referring John or seeking his assistance in any future development that we may undertake. John’s professionalism and his knowledge and skills have assisted us greatly during this time.
