If you’re interested in the background of Patrick Davis, one thing you might be interested to learn is that in addition to his success as a speaker trainer and consultant, he is also the author of a number of publications. Bryan the Business Manager was his seventh of seven publications, and it was published in 2004. Oh, yeah, and over there to the left—that is what he looked like 30 years ago.
Pat’s first publication was a monthly training newsletter specifically for automotive salespeople titled On the Lot, and it was published from 1997 through 1999. In 1999, Patrick decided to replace On the Lot with a new monthly training newsletter that would be helpful to all salespeople no matter their industry.
So in late 1999, Pat released The Progressive Professional. Then in 2000, Insight Publishing released the first book Pat Davis wrote. It was titled Selling Cars: The Handbook of the Professional. Patrick released the unabridged reading of the book a couple of months later. Selling Cars was the first book of its kind on Amazon. His competitors quickly took notice and published books of their own. At the same time, some competitors enlisted people who would write false reviews to try to drive down the popularity of his book, which was number one.
Realizing the corrupt nature of the Amazon review system, Patrick decided to only sell his future publications on his own website and at his training conferences, where he could offer a 100% money-back guarantee and communicate directly with his readers.
In 2001, Pat released Automotive Sales: A Career Opportunity. In 2003, he released Discover Eleven Proven Facts All Automotive Managers Must Know. And finally, in 2004, Bryan the Business Manager was published through Automax Publishing.

One thing you will quickly notice about the background of Pat Davis is that it goes back a long time, so the pictures you see on this page are old—they are a little pixelated. And the pictures of Pat are when he was much younger. The book was written in story format, so readers could be entertained by the story of Bryan the Business Manger’s professional life while at the same time learn how to climb the latter from sales to business manger.
It was a hit with salespeople learning to work their way up, as well as with F&I mangers looking to become better at their job. Unlike Patrick’s first book “Selling Cars The Handbook of the Professional” Bryan The Business Manager was only available through his sales training courses and his F&I training courses.

In 2004 a popular industry website wrote:
Nearly four years after his bestselling book, Selling Cars, Patrick Davis is changing the lives of many sales professionals. Patrick W. Davis, Consultant, Speaker, Author, and Trainer extraordinaire, fires out a book about the most in-demand topic in the business. In this fascinating book, readers learn how to advance from salesperson to finance manager through the eyes of Bryan, who is making the same journey. This book offers all the wisdom of a top-notch “how-to” book, and at the same time moves as quickly as a great novel. Reading about Bryan’s journey is sure to help many eager, hardworking salespeople take the next step in their career.
When the book was published over twenty years ago, it received praise from many industry professionals:
“Bryan the Business Manager is a ground-breaking book with a wealth of solid ideas, useful models, and a systematic approach. It should be required reading not only for Finance Managers, but every person who owns or operates a dealership.”
— Eddie Weathers, Lance Cunningham Ford
“Although this book is written for finance managers, dealers will also want to read it to ensure that their finance department is being managed effectively.”
For their own protection, finance managers should read this book before their dealers get hold of it.”
– Cindy Mullinax, Mullinax Lincoln Mercury
“If you are a professional salesperson who wants to work his way up, I would recommend reading this book once—more than once.”
– Chad Newton, Herb Newton Nissan
When asked why he wrote this book, Patrick explained that over the years he had seen many salespeople who wanted—and often deserved—a promotion long before the opportunity presented itself. And he realized that if salespeople who wanted to climb the ladder had the resources available to prepare themselves for the next step, it would benefit them and the company they work for.
In most cases, a person trying to climb the ladder from selling to business manager could not afford to spend thousands of dollars to pay for F&I school. And without that education, most people really don’t stand a chance of succeeding. So Pat wrote this book that is, in my opinion, a fascinating tale of a salesperson who earns a successful career as a business manager. The book not only entertains but also provides step-by-step instruction for promoting yourself and embracing success, rather than waiting around for someone else to promote you.
When I think back to over twenty years ago, I would definitely say that Patrick Davis was ahead of his time when he wrote this book, and I wish it was still in print.
Just out of high school, Patrick began working in the automobile industry, moving quickly into a position as a technician. He was soon promoted to service advisor. Advancing to new and used car sales, Patrick was the number one salesperson in his second month. He remained among the top salespeople until he moved into management. Today, Patrick works with companies to help them in a variety of incredible ways.
Patrick Davis is also known as Patrick W. Davis or Pat Davis. But however you know him, you may be interested to know that in addition to being an author, Pat also has a background as a speaker, trainer, and a consultant. Pat has been working with all types of sales organizations including car, boat, motorcycle, RV, and lending and construction for nearly forty years ago. After nearly forty years, his hair is thinner, and he has a few more wrinkles. But fantastic insight now comes with all of that experience.
