Sam Sweis: Immigrant Work Ethic, Selling Exotics from Indiana, and Why Your Team IS the Strategy

Sam Sweis went from washing cars at a California Dodge store to owning Sweis Infiniti in Indiana — with 27 acquisitions along the way. In this episode, Sam and Bart dig into what actually drives long-term success in the car business: building your bench from within, understanding that every customer walks in with an unidentified problem, and knowing that used cars are the one department the factory doesn't control. Sam talks COVID strategy, the exotic car market, why he'll never buy a high-performing store, and the advice he'd give any dealer getting started — including the question most people don't want to answer: what are you willing to give up?Whether you're a green pea or a seasoned dealer, this conversation is packed with real talk on leadership, culture, and what you have to be willing to give up to own the building.Connect with Sam: Email: [email protected] Instagram: @sam_sweisSubscribe and share Keep the Change for more conversations with the people shaping the car business.
