Eric ‘Frenchy’ Mélon Plans Coaching Session for Agent Summit
LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the upcoming Agent Summit announced that Eric “Frenchy” Mélon, president of sales at IAS, will serve as a featured speaker at the event, which is scheduled for May 9–11, 2016, at the Venetian Palazzo Las Vegas.
“The importance of training is not lost on agents, but the means to that end often can be,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur and F&I and Showroom. “Frenchy has the experience, the tools and the mindset agents need to take their dealer development skills to the next level and beyond.”
Mélon’s session, “Coaching for Success in Money and Mind,” will begin at 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday, May 10. A veteran trainer and executive, Mélon has built a reputation for challenging the status quo and not pulling punches. He said his session will go beyond the typical training seminar to educate agents on fresh techniques to improve performance, increase employee engagement and solve the everyday challenges that either drive or hinder personal growth.
By focusing on the right habits to develop and their impact on every aspect of the dealership, Mélon added, he will outline how the power of disciplined process drives sales by drastically improving customer experience and equip attendees with new tools that are simple, easy-to-implement and get results.
“Personnel turnover is at critical levels for our industry. It’s vital that we stop the bleeding and solve this profound problem,” Mélon said. “As the customer of today changes, so do the people working in dealerships. To finally drag our industry into the 21st century, we’re going to have to evolve, and it all starts with developing our people.”
Registration for Agent Summit is now open at the event’s website as well as by phone, fax and email. Attendees who register by April 4 will enjoy a $100 discount.
