Dealer

At JMIS we believe that the cornerstones of all successful training are the development of the critical disciplines of self-management and self-motivation

Over the years, both as Dealer Principal of dealerships, and as General Manager of a distributorship, Jason has observed and analysed multi-franchise and standalone dealerships all over New Zealand, both successful and unsuccessful, learning that there are 3 common denominators behind any successful dealership:

  1. They have the best developed and trained staff
  2. Those staff members believe in and follow a proven process
  3. Everyone in those dealerships has huge passion for their brands

Having worked with both volume and luxury brands, Jason understands that while the same fundamental skills are required when selling and servicing either types of vehicles, there are subtle differences between the two that must be acknowledged.


The JARVIS Motor Industry Services Wheel signifies the relationship and reliance that each department has on the other. Without this department synergy, your dealership will forever be under achieving.

We commit to monthly follow-up discussions with all course attendees for a minimum of 6 months after the completion of the course

JMIS will work with your dealership and design training to suit. Courses can be delivered onsite and in-person, or by online platforms.

We also offer structured courses as below
