LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the annual Agent Summit have announced that motivational speaker George Dans, variously known as “The World’s Greatest Closer” and “The Human Torch,” has agreed to deliver the keynote address at the 2015 event, which will take place March 2–4, 2015, at the Venetian Palazzo Las Vegas.
“George Dans was the first name on our list,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur and F&I and Showroom. “He is guaranteed, through sheer force of personality, to energize and invigorate agents to succeed beyond their wildest ambitions.”
Dans will take the stage on Tuesday, March 3, at 9:10 a.m., to kick off Day Two of Agent Summit. A high-profile speaker within and outside the automotive industry, Dans has delivered motivational speeches to crowds as large as 30,000. He has appeared at the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA)’s annual conference, multiple state dealer association meetings and gatherings of dealers and executives from General Motors, Honda, Toyota and more. He has also consulted privately with leading OEM executives, professional football coach Mike Singletary and former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
“I was pumped at the suggestion of bringing Dans in for the Summit,” said Randy Crisorio, president and CEO of United Development Systems Inc. (UDS) and chair of the Agent Summit advisory board. “And now that we’ve signed him up – Well, lets just say Tuesday morning will take off like a ROCKETSHIP!”
