About Us

At Peak Performance Team, our core philosophy is that leaders should have the freedom to make their own decisions regarding the products they offer and how they handle claims.

We accomplish this by creating customized, wealth-building purchase and protection products, previously available only to administrators and the largest franchise dealer groups and bring them to all dealerships.

and we’ll train your staff in the best ways to present and sell the products to maximize your profits and create a satisfied customer-base who will not only return for future purchases but will also sell YOU to their families and friends.

We’ll make you their hero!

PPT staff is comprised of industry experts dedicated to their craft. As real-world professionals who have spent years working in dealerships, insurance companies, and TPA’s;

we have become true subject matter experts in sales and marketing, captive and risk management, product design, and more.

We understand the complexities and challenges that dealers face. That’s why we’ve made it our revenue rather than lining the pockets of a corporate administrator.
