6/2019-09/2019 Texas Auto Tops Austin, TX
Outside Sales Manager
• I was responsible for visiting all major car dealership in the greater Austin area. The reason for the travel was because Texas Auto Tops is an aftermarket vehicle upgrade company. Accessory upgrades to vehicles were sold at the dealership leveland included our main accessory, leather, provided by Katzkin. There are only two authorized installers in the area this leather, creating high demand for our company to install.
• Being different from car dealerships, this was an outside contract company who for example, when I sold accessories at the dealership level, we would always use. Conveniently, they would pick up a vehicle from a dealership, or the sold vehicle, install the Katzkin leather or any other accessory upgrade, and return it back to the same dealership. Other accessories Texas Auto Tops sales and installs are electronic vehicular upgrades, rearview cameras, I 360 eagle eye cameras, audio upgrades, gooseneck hitches, as well as GPS systems.
• Once I heard that this company needed a sales manager, I was absolutely ecstatic to work with them because I’d work with them for years and dealerships and they are the best of the best. I worked for them for a while and absolutely enjoyed my job. 4/2018-10/2018 Nyle Maxwell Nissan Austin, TX
