Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast

This week on the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley and L.A. Williams sit down with Sebastian Ibanez, a blind car salesman, and Tim Brown, dealer principal at Brown Brothers Automotive in Arizona. Sebastian’s story begins with him selling mops, bikes, blankets, selling anything. Still, after ten years of selling anything he could get his hands on, Sebastian finally landed his dream job selling cars! What makes a good salesperson? What are Sebastian’s fundamental skills? Tim Brown breaks down how Sebastian has taken the position by storm! Sebastian has been able to harness his network, his social media, and the dealership’s team to promote his brand as a car salesman. Life is a team sport, and finding the right teammates can make the most of all opportunities.

About Sebastian Ibanez

Sebastian Ibanez is a true salesman. He’s been selling things his whole life, not allowing his blindness to stop him. Sebastian put himself out there to provide for his family, using humor and his personal skills. Selling everything from mops to blankets to bikes on the corner, after getting local news attention, Sebastian was connected to Tim Brown, who gave Sebastian his first car salesman job. Sebastian is excited to begin the next chapter of his life.

About Tim Brown

Tim Brown is 4th generation owner of a used car dealership. Tim and his seven brothers grew up doing part-time summer jobs in the detail department, body shop, and parts department every summer. At 17 years old, Tim got married and started working in shipping and receiving before moving to new and used car inventory. Tim recalls his dad did NOT want him in the car industry, but Tim begged his dad’s partner every time he saw him give him a chance to sell cars. Since then, Tim has worked on the sales floor, in the finance department, until landing his store in 2010. Tim’s been fortunate enough to be part of the #1 retail Chevy store in the nation and the #2 Nissan store in the country.

EP 7:11 Retired Teacher (28+ years) makes $275,000 Selling Cars in His 2nd Year

This week on the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley tackles the topic of entering the automotive industry as a second career in life. Is it possible to do? How can someone use their previous career experience to excel at selling cars? How much could you be making as a car salesman? How could being in the automotive industry change your life? Your family’s life?

Kelly Mercer is joining Sean V. Bradley this week because he made the jump into the automotive industry after being a teacher for 28 years! Kelly Mercer worked as a high school head coach and math teacher for 28 years, but during the pandemic, he took that leap of faith - retiring from teaching to start a career as a car salesman. Kelly was the #1 in gross for the entire Covert Auto Group in 2022! What techniques have helped him succeed? Listen in to find out!!

About Kelly Mercer

Kelly Mercer started in the business in June of 2020 after being a coach and math teacher for 28 years here in Texas. He started as an assistant coach for many years, then became an Athletic Director and Head Football Coach. Coaching and teaching in Texas is a 14-16 hour day, 7 days a week job, especially during the football season. WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR THE WORLD, THOUGH!! However, when Covid hit in 2020, Kelly realized how much he missed time with his family, so Kelly looked at other avenues for jobs that led him to Covert Auto Group (Chevy and Ford stores) in Hutto. 2 years later, they kept letting him come back! In 2021 Kelly was named #2 overall salesperson, using a metric that included volume, gross, surveys, etc. In 2022, he was #3 in volume for the Covert Auto group complex and #1 in gross for the entire Covert Auto Group, which includes 5 stores.
