šŸŽ§ Some people close deals. Others change the game entirely. In this episode of On The Drive with Cindy Lawrence, meet the powerhouse behind some of the nation’s most successful dealership transformations—Linda Barnette.

From high-stakes sales training rooms to the strategic table of mergers and acquisitions, and all the way to the concrete foundation of new dealership builds, Linda’s career has spanned it all. But ask her the real secret? It’s not about a flashy pitch or the bottom line—it’s about truly caring about the other person’s business like it’s your own.

Linda opens up about how she consistently connects with the so-called ā€œunreachableā€ decision-makers, turning cold introductions into lifelong partnerships. Her approach isn’t about pushing demos—it’s about building authentic relationships that stand the test of time.
