When asked about the courses, Kirk Manzo stated, “AUL’s training program integrates the use of Virtual Round Tables to provide a unique ‘peer to peer’ learning and accountability component unlike anything in the industry. It’s like having your own private F&I 20 group to support and encourage your performance improvement.”
