- Always worth a listen
I used to work with Adam so only started listening to the podcast as I knew him, I’ve now started from the beginning and they are superb. If we need any training then I will use these guys, Adam has been in the trade 20 odd years and has helped & coached me from my early days, the fact they took on a guy for the trade rather than just another sales trainer speaks volumes.

Anyone remotely connected with the motor trade from service advisers to DPs and owners will benefit from giving these podcasts. Skippy has not necessarily re-invented the wheel but he’s had it completely refurbished and put a high quality tyre on it! All put in terms that those who have been in the trade for a while will appreciate and learn from plus great insights for newbies. Some really interesting guests too covering a range of topics
