EP 2... Michael Banjanin - Ferntree Gully Nissan
Michael Banjanin has been in the car game for 36 years, working his way up from a 24 year old sales cadet in the mid 1980's, to a consistently polished performer and now the Dealer Principal of Ferntree Gully Nissan, Australia's most awarded Nissan dealer ever - nothing given, all earned. A keen learner, with a natural curiosity on getting better all the time, Michael quickly worked out at every turn, what it was going to take for him to succeed. He is a wonderful husband, outstanding father to two beautiful daughters and somebody that is looked up to by his industry peers.
