About Mel Craig, Founder and President

Mel Craig, founder and president of The Total Pros Training Center, is a Southern California native. At the young age of 19 he launched his first successful business endeavor based on principles he had been developing since childhood. Mel's passion, commitment, and work ethic, along with his successful business track record, have earned him a solid reputation as a highly-acclaimed motivational speaker, entrepreneur, businessman, and industry leader.

Throughout his thirty years as an entrepreneur, Mel has owned and operated numerous types of auto detailing businesses—both shop and mobile. He started each of his businesses on a shoe string budget and built them to million-dollar levels. His charisma and ability to attract clients and demonstrate his services has earned him a reputation as one of Southern California's premier auto detailers. This outstanding reputation allowed him to create an income that set precedence for detailers nationwide.

Mel started training and speaking in the auto reconditioning business back in 1998, fulfilling a demand in a very hungry industry. "This is an un-regulated business with no training whatsoever, and I felt this industry needed structure, support, and some sort of a company or training institute that people could turn to for further education," says Mel. "This business has so much to offer both from a financial and business standpoint. There are not many things you can do today to create this type of an income, especially with a small investment and no college education. Most professionally trained detailing and reconditioning professionals can earn a six-figure income their very first year."

Mel served as the Director of New Business Development for a leading company in the auto reconditioning industry growing it to a multi million dollar operation. In addition to developing new business, he also created top-tier training programs aimed at instructing entrepreneurs interested in the auto reconditioning business. Mel hosted and broadcasted a successful global podcast, which provided detailed discussions of the auto reconditioning business for hundreds of thousands of people interested in learning more about the industry.

Today he is following his dream and continues to assist people worldwide to develop their own businesses through The Total Pros Training Center. Continually endorsing the auto reconditioning industry, he travels the country as a professional speaker and training professional and hosts one of the most successful detailing seminars available today. He and his staff provide training in multiple areas of detailing and reconditioning, including customized business programs, informative presentations, private consultations, and energetic coaching techniques.

Always willing to share his business savvy and enthusiastic personality, Mel continues to attract people worldwide who wish to improve their strategic business plans and build successful auto detailing and reconditioning companies.
