I am currently looking for a change in environment. I have owned, operated and managed automated full service car washes. As well as full service hand washes, for the last 20+ years. I am used to a high volume & putting out a top quality product. Typically, I’ll take over or be hired to come in to see how the process can be improved upon. I’ll find production flaws, that I’ll then implement a new system or improve on the existing one. I implement a monthly sales plan, as well as train a team to sell long term membership’s as well professional automotive maintenance services, Ceramic Coating services ranging from hundreds of dollars to a few thousand dollars on just automotive detailing services. I am now looking to take my sales experience, problem solving and leadership skills over to a new industry. I have the abilities to not only articulate a plan of action but, also lead a team forward and have them feel confident in doing so.
