Sally Whitesell- President and Founder

 Sally Whitesell has over 29 years of service experience. After spending time as a service manager and working with many others, she found that this position does not allow the necessary time for developing and implementing training materials and proven processes. Providing the resources to help service professionals reach their full potential has been the inspiration for sw Service Solutions training programs. Sally has created engaging and informative training programs that will turn your management team, service advisors, and service BDC staff into successful, selling professionals. This training has been implemented with great results in automotive dealerships as well as independent shops, and heavy equipment repair facilities.

Sally is available for phone consultations, seminars, and speaking engagements.

What our clients say:

“We have been working with SW for a long time. Sally and her group are a collection of top talent in our industry and it shows when it comes to training. Recently we have had group training as well as in-store training with Brandon. I have been in the business over 20 years and I was very impressed with the work Brandon did with my team and the communication I received along the way! I am easily entertained but not easily impressed. I am impressed and would recommend SW to anyone looking to get more performance from your current group!”
