About

Yanni Thanas — Appointment Culture Specialist

Over 24 years in automotive. Proven across domestic, import, luxury, and pre-owned operations. As a BMW / MINI Canada Authorized National Trainer, Yanni has taken the same appointment-first system into 80+ dealerships and put it in the hands of 700+ salespeople — on their own phones, with their own leads, in their own stores.

This isn’t motivation. It’s a system. Appointment Culture™ turns the leads and CRM opportunities a dealership already owns into booked appointments, higher show rates, and delivered units — without another dollar of marketing spend.

Testimonials

From the Showroom Floor

Not only did we get an extra 12 deals for the month of November, but my sales consultants’ skill on the phone and booking appointments has greatly improved.

Sergio Amate Rodriguez

General Sales Manager, West Coast Mazda

Whatever I need, he seems to hit the mark every time. He has helped us reach record goals in multiple months — whether it’s volume or appointments.

Jason Wandler

General Manager, Kelowna Chevrolet (#1 GM dealer in BC)

Since the training, we’ve seen an increase in overall sales activity, particularly in outbound efforts and appointment setting, which has translated into more opportunities for the team.

Sandro Mati

General Manager, Mercedes-Benz Vancouver (#1 AMG retailer in Canada)

Most dealerships work fewer than three appointments per salesperson each week — less than one a day.

Every unworked opportunity is a missed sale. Let’s find out how many appointments and deliveries your team is leaving on the table — using the opportunities you already have.
