Sally Whitesell

Sally Whitesell has spent over 25 years providing service advisor training in service departments across the country. Her professional training products and processes have been successful in automotive dealerships and independent repair facilities.
After spending time as a service manager herself, and working with many others, Sally found that service managers do not have time to develop service advisor training materials and implement training processes. The need for continued service advisor training and the constant request for practical and specific information has been the inspiration for sw Service Solutions.
Sally has created an engaging and informative online training program that will turn your service advisors into selling professionals. She is available for in-store training, seminars, and speaking engagements.

“The service advisor training that the sw Service Solutions team provides is among the best I have received in my 16 year career.
As both a service advisor and a service advisor manager, I was able to see you provide the necessary tools to help multiple service advisors improve their skills and more importantly their income. You taught old dogs and young dogs new tricks. Very impressive!
Please know that what I learned from you is invaluable and I will continue to utilize it all throughout my career.”
