In 2005, Toyota partnered with the marketing/training firm AIMA to address one the largest causes of teen death in America: automobile crashes. Created by two friends of Jim, the two organizations sought to do something about this epidemic, realizing that teens and their parents needed to be educated on the perils of the road as well as techniques for safe driving. The program, Toyota Driving Expectations, educated tens of thousands of teens and parents about driver’s safety.

At the time, Toyota Driving Expectations was the only teen driving safety program in the country that involved parents by requiring them to go through a parent curriculum. The parent sessions included coaching techniques they could use with their teens.

The director of AIMA, David Tarabochia, had the following to say about Jim Million’s talent: “Jim is the quintessential business partner with unparalleled passion to working with and through others with the clear purpose to bring guidance, direction and expertise to your initiatives. Jim is a great instructional designer and the most outstanding lead facilitator I have had the fortune to work with, however that only scratches the surface; Jim is the Ambassador of Quan, meaning he can integrate into the business and cultural fabric of your initiative with respect, patience and integrity for the people and the goals of your business – an SME that is honest to a fault.”

In 1994, Chrysler/Plymouth Dodge launched the Neon, which was an all new compact car based on new “cab forward” design technology. This launch required training thousands of salesmen at dealerships across the nation on the features and selling points of the new vehicle. Jim stepped up to the plate and helped Plymouth/Dodge train tens of thousands of employees in only 45 days.

When General Motors (GM) noticed their accessory sales were lower than they desired, they decided to implement training to boost their numbers at the dealership level. With a multi-facted approach, Jim tackled the challenge of boosting accessory sales at GM dealerships in over 120 stores. Per New Unit Retail, these 120 stores increased their sales from $37 dollars to $137. GM was so happy with the results that they extended the training program to every GM dealership in the nation.

In 2015 Amway reached out to Jim Million as a Master Facilitator/Teacher to assist in the development, delivery and production of a video based series called “Teaching Techniques Series” Amway’s Teaching Techniques Series has been implemented as a component of Amway South
East Asia Train the Trainer Certification program and is posed to be launched in other Amway markets around the world.
