Up Country Motors

Over stressed NYC sales manager Jack Matthews moves to a small car dealership in VT to manage a team of misfits owned by a walking blonde joke. You can see a video of the winning cold read at http://youtu.be/cFOs3jxXtKY. Think Cheers selling cars.

Six years of 12 hour days. Working with salespeople who haven’t got the foggiest idea of how to sell and are dealing with customers who think the movie “Used Cars” was a documentary. Jack Matthews has had it. He was putting all of his energy into finding a way out. Then the phone call. She sounded nice enough. Her dad left the dealership to her and she needed someone to get business going in the right direction. Up. And that’s where the dealership was located – up in the small town of Enosville, Vermont. Could he right the sinking ship while regaining his sanity? Remember, it’s not the deal; it’s the deal you think you got.
