We build identity-first personal brands for high-trust operators and founders.

Not for attention. For alignment.

Using our  proprietary Polaris Method™, we extract who you really are...then build the systems, presence, and voice to match.

This isn’t branding. It’s personal sovereignty, packaged.

Bob Manor: The Deals Got Bigger, But the Game Stayed the Same

I didn’t take the traditional route into the car business. Hell, most people don’t. I dropped out of university to sell cars—not because it was my dream, but because I needed to survive. 

Along the way, I figured out something that changed everything:

The only thing that ever changes is the size of the deal.

Whether I was selling Jeeps on the lot, closing the first-ever Enterprise Canada fleet deal, or building a business that helped hundreds of dealers move cars across borders, the fundamentals stayed the same.

You learn how to read people, how to solve problems, how to create opportunity.

I built my career on finding the angles others miss. I found ways to make markets where others saw none. I learned that the best deals don’t happen in auction lanes—they happen in conversations.

What I Do Now

-Can-Am Dealer Services – Built the first real solution for cross-border warranty gaps between Canada & the U.S. Nearly 1,000 dealers now use it.
-AutoAuctionReview.com – Co-founded a startup to bring transparency to dealer auctions (because let’s be honest—some of them need it).
-VIN Syndicate – A community for dealers who know there’s more to wholesale than overpaying at auction.
-Wholesale & Dealer Development – I work with select partners to structure deals, build networks, and create strategies that actually work in the real world—not just on a whiteboard.

If You’re in the Business, You’ll Get This

This industry is full of misfits, underdogs, and people who made their own way. I respect that. If you’re looking for someone who’s spent decades doing exactly that—and helping others do the same—then let’s talk.
