The Would-You-Take Man by Bill Vann shares the story of a principled but hardnosed car salesman who rises to run his own dealership
ALBION, Mich. (MMD Newswire) February 22, 2010 -- The Would-You-Take Man by car salesman and dealership owner Bill Vann is a story of determined entrepreneurialism set in the dog-eat-dog world of automobile sales. Mike Flynn becomes a successful new car dealer, who is haunted by failure but propelled by ambition and good luck. Mike later loses his dealership because of an unscrupulous car manufacturer. By executing a devious caper, he sues and settles with the manufacturer but becomes dissatisfied with his existence. Because of his feelings about success and failure, his tenacity, and his indignation of being a middle aged retiree, he becomes an advocate for change in the way car dealers, including himself, have unethically treated the buying public. With numerous characters, including a senator, lobbyists, and two women who have been a part of his past, he forges a plan for government intervention on behalf of the American car buyer. A dealership owner himself, Vann offers a unique perspective on the inner workings of the automotive industry and the pressures that can motivate salesmen and manufacturers. The book is intended to portray contemporary car sales in a realistic setting, complete with industry terminology and customer interactions taken from real life experiences. "In the old days there were three kinds of people who became car dealers, those with lots of money and influence, those with some money and a little influence, and those with no money and no influence," says Vann. "I was one of the latter! This book was inspired by my experiences." Written as fiction but based on fact, The Would-You-Take Man is a story anyone can relate to, notes Vann, because car buying, to many, can be one of the enduring experiences of life, be it good or bad. The Would-You-Take Man is available for sale online at Amazon.com and through additional wholesale and retail channels worldwide.
