Hey Mike, welcome to the podcast. Mike Olari:         00:36          Hey John, how are you doing? John Haggard:       00:37          Doing well. Glad to have you along with us. You know, people always want to know who’s behind the scenes. Let’s find out a little bit about Mike before we get into your role as commercial fleet manager at Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. So did you grow up here in Nashville area? Right? Where are you from? Mike Olari:         00:53          I did not. I’m actually born and raised in California. John Haggard:       00:56          California. California. So how long have you been in this area? Mike Olari:         01:01          I’ve been here almost five years. John Haggard:       01:04          All right. So what got you to Nashville? Mike Olari:         01:07          Well, my parents actually moved out here almost 15 years ago and decided it was time to go. John Haggard:       01:14          All right. Wanted to be closer to family? So where did you go to high school in California? Mike Olari:         01:19          Went to high school at Alto Loma high school. John Haggard:       01:22          All right, so that Alto Loma California as well then? Mike Olari:         01:25          Yes sir. John Haggard:       01:26          All right. All right. And so when you’re not working, what do you like to do on your time off? Mike Olari:         01:31          I’m a big sports fanatic. I love to watch football, baseball, everything. John Haggard:       01:37          Gotcha, Gotcha. So you go to games, watch primarily. Are you one of those that has like eight games up on your television set where you can look at all eight of them? Mike Olari:         01:45          Do I have to answer that one? John Haggard:       01:49          Ha, I hear you. So what other hobbies do you have when you’re not doing sports? Mike Olari:         01:53          I like to go out and just hang out with friends and I actually do like to do my yard work and kind of keeps me level-headed. John Haggard:       02:01          Gotcha. Absolutely. So how did you get started in the car and fleet business, Mike? Mike Olari:         02:07          Well, I got started in the car business about six and a half years agom=, out in California. A buddy of mine called and said he needed some help. I told him I’d never been a salesman before. He said, give me six months. If you don’t like it, we’ll part ways. We’re still friends now. Six and a half years later, I’m still doing it. I enjoy what I do. John Haggard:       02:24          Well, so now before you got in automotive, what did you do before? Mike Olari:         02:28          I did construction for almost 20 years. I’m electrical for 15 to 16 years of that. Enjoyed what I did, loved it. Just had some health issues come about, which ended up putting me out of that business. John Haggard:       02:47          Understand. And so then what brought you to Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram? Mike Olari:         02:51          Well, I actually came out here to visit my mom one time, and drove by, and I’d been wanting to get out here. Mike Olari:         02:58          So I in and talked to one of the sales reps that was here and found out how many cars they’ve sold and how many, you know, salesman they had. It was pretty much what I had out in California at the time, so I made a jump. John Haggard:       03:11          There you go. So as the commercial fleet manager, what does your day typically look like? Mike Olari:         03:17          As you know, I am over the Ram store, but I am also over the Ford store as well. So I do a lot of running back and forth, have bids that I’ve got to get out almost daily now. And you know, if I get a phone call, hey, we’ve got a customer over here that’s looking at a van, I run back over and, and help that customer out and you know, do the best I can to, to make sure everybody is helped quickly. John Haggard:       03:45          All right. So now how long have you had a fleet department at Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram? Mike Olari:         03:51          We’ve had a fleet department here for right at about a year and a half. John Haggard:       03:56          Okay, so relatively new. Mike Olari:         03:58          Yes. John Haggard:       03:59          And then so what, what was the decision, tell me about how that came about where obviously you’re sitting around a table I guess one day talking with people and they say, you know what, we need to do a fleet department here. How did that come about? Mike Olari:         04:11          Well, they had, they had already kind of been working on it. In a sense already. And I just brought up the fact that there is a lot of, you know, a lot of businesses out here, and I watched a friend of mine out in California build his up out there. I know there’s plenty of people that we can help out here in this area and that’s what I like to do. Mike Olari:         04:33          So that’s why we ended up doing it. As soon as we started talking about it, built the back end of the building on, they went gung ho, we got business link and we been blowing and going ever since. John Haggard:       04:44          All right. Then you said you also handle Miracle Ford as well as for their fleet department and how long has that been going on? Mike Olari:         04:52          But two to three months. They’ve done fleet before in the past, but never really had anybody to take the grasp and just run with it. So right now that’s what’s going on. John Haggard:       05:02          So you’re doing both stores… Are you getting any sleep? Mike Olari:         05:06          It doesn’t feel like it. No. John Haggard:       05:09          Ha, I hear you. Now, what are some of the companies that you work with, those who have are doing fleet management with you? Mike Olari:         05:15          One of the biggest ones. We have Servpro. We’ve got them, we’ve got people, US Pest is another huge one, Assure Heating and Air. There’s quite a few that we actually work with, but the two big ones that we do are a Servpro and US Pest. Those are the ones that they do purchase a lot of vehicles. John Haggard:       05:36          You know, today people are sensitive about pricing. They say, Hey Mike I could use 10, 20, 30 vehicles. You know, how can somebody get a good deal with a commercial fleet today? Mike Olari:         05:48          In that aspect that they’ve got that many vehicles that they’re looking at. What I do is I go through and I set them up with a Fan number at Ram or a Fin number at Ford. What that is, it’s a fleet number that they get from the manufacturers and whatever they get off on, on the vehicles, that’s what they get. So it’s already a set in stone number. Say it’s $5,000 per vehicle that they get off. That’s what they get. John Haggard:       06:15          And that comes directly from the manufacturers, is that right? Mike Olari:         06:19          Yes sir. John Haggard:       06:20          Got It. All right. And would you say it’s better in a fleet situation to purchase or to lease? Mike Olari:         06:26          Most of the time it’s better for them to purchase. There are some times that the lease will work out better for them because there’s a program called track lease, and what that is, is it’ll give them the ability to set their own residual at the beginning and at the end of it, when it’s sent to auction, if they owe less than what it got at auction, they actually get money back. If it gets less than what they owe, then they got to pay. At that point. You got to make your decision on if that’s good for your company, but it is 100% tax write off. So that’s the way things are starting to go is to that track lease. John Haggard:       07:04          What about trade in’s on fleets at the end of that term, do you take those vehicles you mentioned earlier or do you take them all to auction? How does that work? Mike Olari:         07:13          Well a lot a lot of them will keep their old vehicles because they’re still running. So they say, no, I’m just going to write you a check. I’m not trading nothing in. And that’s mostly what I’ve been dealing with. Do they trade them in? Yes. most of the time they are going to be the auction vehicles. Cause you’ve got 250, 300,000 miles on a vehicle. John Haggard:       07:36          Is there any one question that customers ask you, Mike? A lot to clear up confusion on what they thought or understood or do understand or they’ve heard about? Maybe they’ve never done a fleet purchase, but just a typical question or two that most people will ask you. Mike Olari:         07:52          Well, most of the questions I get asked is what’s the difference between commercial and fleet? You kind of run those two departments. You say, I, you know we’ve got a commercial fleet department. Well, the commercial side is, it’s going to be your heavy trucks. Your 350s, 450s, 550s is 3500s it’s 4500s 5500s now with the fleet, what a lot of people think is, well, I’ve got a full fleet of five. Well, if you have less than a fleet of 15 there’s some manufacturers that go, well that’s not a fleet of five is not a fleet unless you buy them all in one year, and that’s what a lot of people don’t understand it as. They go, I have five in my fleet, I should get a number. Well, it’s hard for me to say no, I can’t give you that number, but I kind of have to at a point in time, they got to understand that there’s, you have to have a certain amount of vehicles to be a fleet account. John Haggard:       08:49          All right. To qualify as what you’re seeing there, Mike Olari:         08:51          Yes sir. John Haggard:       08:52          Got You. Now everybody of course looking for discounts if they buy in volume. It’s kind of like, you know, the more I buy the better price I should get. Tell me about discounts on parts and service with fleets. Mike Olari:         09:04          Well, we have, we have a program that goes through Ram that what they do is they have a thing called business link. And what business link does is that gives you 5% off of your parks and 5% off your labor, your service, but it gives you an extra added bonus with, you get the next available bay when you do bring your vehicle in. John Haggard:       09:26          What about pickup and delivery service for fleets? Mike Olari:         09:29          I will do that, and again, if they are signed up for business link, I will actually take a vehicle to them, let them use it and I will bring it back and then take my art, take our vehicle back. So we do have a program that that sets that up. Makes it a lot easier on the customer. Now if it’s just an oil change, normally they sit and wait, and that’s fine. They’re fine with that. But if it’s something that we got to have the truck for, you know, a day or two to fix something on it or we have parts that we’ve got to order, I will put them in in a vehicle to where their business is not down. John Haggard:       10:03          So for Miracle Ford, is it pretty much the same in terms of the discounts and the way that’s done? Just like Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. Mike Olari:         10:12          They do have a similar program. Yes, they do. John Haggard:       10:16          Hey, just a curious question. When you think about the Miracle family, is there anything that’s there I guess or something that’s unusual or something that’s like, here’s something that’s really neat about Miracle? If most folks maybe don’t know about, unless they come here. Mike Olari:         10:32          Being that I’ve worked here as long as I have on the Ram side, I’ve worked under the Galvin’s for quite a while in my head and they do care about their community. They have shown that to me and if something needs to be fixed, they do everything in their power to fix it. They’re a family owned business and to me, they run it like that. John Haggard:       10:54          And so what is it that just makes you get up out of bed every day that says, you know what, I love this business. I want to go, I want to go do this. What is it that gets you going? Mike Olari:         11:03          Knowing that I’m going to be able to help somebody out if, whether it’s a new business or a business has been there for 50 years. What gets me out of bed is I do love my job. You know, helping out people that that’s the biggest thing. John Haggard:       11:16          So what’s the one thing about Mike Olari? What is the, what is the one thing that people would be very surprised if they knew about you? Mike Olari:         11:24          I guess I could say the one thing is, is came real close to going professional baseball. A lot of people don’t know that. John Haggard:       11:31          Really. Okay. So tell us a little bit about that. That’s interesting. You said real close. So obviously you were very good to get up to the point to even be considered. Mike Olari:         11:40          I was, I was a decent pitcher. I don’t, I don’t pat myself on the back, but you know, I pitch between 96 and 98 and had seven pitches. So my pitching coach taught me very well. John Haggard:       11:55          What about your prediction for the Tennessee Titans this season? Mike Olari:         12:01          Oh, well, the way they looked last Sunday, if they keep that up. They’re gonna, they’re gonna go far John Haggard:       12:07          And you think they can make it, you think you can make it at least to the playoffs? I mean, what, what do you see out there? What do you see the positives and the negatives on what you’ve seen so far? Mike Olari:         12:15          I do think they can make it to the playoffs this year. Long as they can keep the quarterback healthy and keep him in the game and his head in the game, I think they will do very well and they will at least make it to the playoffs. John Haggard:       12:31          All right. You heard it folks. That’s the prediction for Michael Olari. Now he’s the commercial fleet manager at Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. Also at Miracle Ford. Join us again right here for other topics on the podcast. Throughout each month. Our goal here is to help you purchase lease service and maintain, accessorize and sell your vehicle, or if it’s fleet that you need to do as well for the highest resale value possible. When you’re ready. John Haggard:       12:55          By the way, Mike, is there any one tip you would give those who own a fleet now that they’ve gotten from you? How do they get that highest resale value possible? Any quick tips that you would say, hey look, you know, when it comes time, if you’ll keep these things in mind, your vehicle will be worth more money. Mike Olari:         13:12          Well, the biggest thing I tell people is, you know, take care of your vehicle like you take care of yourself. Give it a tune up, do all the oil changes, everything it needs to have. Just keep it, keep it, keep it up and you’ll get a higher resale value. John Haggard:       13:27          All right. Just treat it like you treat yourself. I think that’s pretty good advice. That’s Mike Olari, everybody. Once again, the commercial fleet manager at Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Gallatin and also Miracle Ford. I’m your host John Haggard. We’ll see you next time.

Mike Olari: 02:51 Well, I actually came out here to visit my mom one time, and drove by, and I’d been wanting to get out here.

It was pretty much what I had out in California at the time, so I made a jump. John Haggard: 03:11 There you go. So as the commercial fleet manager, what does your day typically look like?

John Haggard: 03:45 All right. So now how long have you had a fleet department at Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram? Mike Olari: 03:51 We’ve had a fleet department here for right at about a year and a half. John Haggard: 03:56 Okay, so relatively new. Mike Olari: 03:58 Yes.

How did that come about? Mike Olari: 04:11 Well, they had, they had already kind of been working on it. In a sense already. And I just brought up the fact that there is a lot of, you know, a lot of businesses out here, and I watched a friend of mine out in California build his up out there. I know there’s plenty of people that we can help out here in this area and that’s what I like to do. Mike Olari: 04:33 So that’s why we ended up doing it. As soon as we started talking about it, built the back end of the building on, they went gung ho, we got business link and we been blowing and going ever since. John Haggard: 04:44 All right. Then you said you also handle Miracle Ford as well as for their fleet department and how long has that been going on? Mike Olari: 04:52 But two to three months. They’ve done fleet before in the past, but never really had anybody to take the grasp and just run with it. So right now that’s what’s going on. John Haggard: 05:02 So you’re doing both stores… Are you getting any sleep? Mike Olari: 05:06 It doesn’t feel like it. No. John Haggard: 05:09 Ha, I hear you. Now, what are some of the companies that you work with, those who have are doing fleet management with you? Mike Olari: 05:15 One of the biggest ones. We have Servpro. We’ve got them, we’ve got people, US Pest is another huge one, Assure Heating and Air. There’s quite a few that we actually work with, but the two big ones that we do are a Servpro and US Pest. Those are the ones that they do purchase a lot of vehicles. John Haggard: 05:36 You know, today people are sensitive about pricing. They say, Hey Mike I could use 10, 20, 30 vehicles.

And that’s mostly what I’ve been dealing with. Do they trade them in? Yes. most of the time they are going to be the auction vehicles. Cause you’ve got 250, 300,000 miles on a vehicle. John Haggard: 07:36 Is there any one question that customers ask you, Mike? A lot to clear up confusion on what they thought or understood or do understand or they’ve heard about? Maybe they’ve never done a fleet purchase, but just a typical question or two that most people will ask you. Mike Olari: 07:52 Well, most of the questions I get asked is what’s the difference between commercial and fleet? You kind of run those two departments. You say, I, you know we’ve got a commercial fleet department. Well, the commercial side is, it’s going to be your heavy trucks. Your 350s, 450s, 550s is 3500s it’s 4500s 5500s now with the fleet, what a lot of people think is, well, I’ve got a full fleet of five. Well, if you have less than a fleet of 15 there’s some manufacturers that go, well that’s not a fleet of five is not a fleet unless you buy them all in one year, and that’s what a lot of people don’t understand it as. They go, I have five in my fleet, I should get a number. Well, it’s hard for me to say no, I can’t give you that number, but I kind of have to at a point in time, they got to understand that there’s, you have to have a certain amount of vehicles to be a fleet account. John Haggard: 08:49 All right. To qualify as what you’re seeing there, Mike Olari: 08:51 Yes sir. John Haggard: 08:52 Got You. Now everybody of course looking for discounts if they buy in volume. It’s kind of like, you know, the more I buy the better price I should get. Tell me about discounts on parts and service with fleets. Mike Olari: 09:04 Well, we have, we have a program that goes through Ram that what they do is they have a thing called business link. And what business link does is that gives you 5% off of your parks and 5% off your labor, your service, but it gives you an extra added bonus with, you get the next available bay when you do bring your vehicle in. John Haggard: 09:26 What about pickup and delivery service for fleets? Mike Olari: 09:29 I will do that, and again, if they are signed up for business link, I will actually take a vehicle to them, let them use it and I will bring it back and then take my art, take our vehicle back. So we do have a program that that sets that up. Makes it a lot easier on the customer. Now if it’s just an oil change, normally they sit and wait, and that’s fine. They’re fine with that. But if it’s something that we got to have the truck for, you know, a day or two to fix something on it or we have parts that we’ve got to order, I will put them in in a vehicle to where their business is not down. John Haggard: 10:03 So for Miracle Ford, is it pretty much the same in terms of the discounts and the way that’s done? Just like Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. Mike Olari: 10:12 They do have a similar program. Yes, they do. John Haggard: 10:16 Hey, just a curious question. When you think about the Miracle family, is there anything that’s there I guess or something that’s unusual or something that’s like, here’s something that’s really neat about Miracle? If most folks maybe don’t know about, unless they come here. Mike Olari: 10:32 Being that I’ve worked here as long as I have on the Ram side, I’ve worked under the Galvin’s for quite a while in my head and they do care about their community. They have shown that to me and if something needs to be fixed, they do everything in their power to fix it. They’re a family owned business and to me, they run it like that. John Haggard: 10:54 And so what is it that just makes you get up out of bed every day that says, you know what, I love this business. I want to go, I want to go do this. What is it that gets you going? Mike Olari: 11:03 Knowing that I’m going to be able to help somebody out if, whether it’s a new business or a business has been there for 50 years. What gets me out of bed is I do love my job. You know, helping out people that that’s the biggest thing. John Haggard: 11:16 So what’s the one thing about Mike Olari? What is the, what is the one thing that people would be very surprised if they knew about you? Mike Olari: 11:24 I guess I could say the one thing is, is came real close to going professional baseball. A lot of people don’t know that. John Haggard: 11:31 Really. Okay. So tell us a little bit about that. That’s interesting. You said real close. So obviously you were very good to get up to the point to even be considered. Mike Olari: 11:40 I was, I was a decent pitcher. I don’t, I don’t pat myself on the back, but you know, I pitch between 96 and 98 and had seven pitches. So my pitching coach taught me very well. John Haggard: 11:55 What about your prediction for the Tennessee Titans this season? Mike Olari: 12:01 Oh, well, the way they looked last Sunday, if they keep that up. They’re gonna, they’re gonna go far John Haggard: 12:07 And you think they can make it, you think you can make it at least to the playoffs? I mean, what, what do you see out there? What do you see the positives and the negatives on what you’ve seen so far? Mike Olari: 12:15 I do think they can make it to the playoffs this year. Long as they can keep the quarterback healthy and keep him in the game and his head in the game, I think they will do very well and they will at least make it to the playoffs. John Haggard: 12:31 All right. You heard it folks. That’s the prediction for Michael Olari. Now he’s the commercial fleet manager at Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. Also at Miracle Ford. Join us again right here for other topics on the podcast. Throughout each month. Our goal here is to help you purchase lease service and maintain, accessorize and sell your vehicle, or if it’s fleet that you need to do as well for the highest resale value possible. When you’re ready. John Haggard: 12:55 By the way, Mike, is there any one tip you would give those who own a fleet now that they’ve gotten from you? How do they get that highest resale value possible? Any quick tips that you would say, hey look, you know, when it comes time, if you’ll keep these things in mind, your vehicle will be worth more money. Mike Olari: 13:12 Well, the biggest thing I tell people is, you know, take care of your vehicle like you take care of yourself. Give it a tune up, do all the oil changes, everything it needs to have. Just keep it, keep it, keep it up and you’ll get a higher resale value. John Haggard: 13:27 All right. Just treat it like you treat yourself. I think that’s pretty good advice. That’s Mike Olari, everybody. Once again, the commercial fleet manager at Miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Gallatin and also Miracle Ford. I’m your host John Haggard. We’ll see you next time.
