Work Experience
Used Car Sales Manager
Passport Nissan - Marlow Heights, MD
June 2021 to Present
• Appraised 90% of all trades and service
• Mastered V-Auto, profit time and P'S
• Priced vehicle's correctly from day 1
• This kept our old aged used car inventory to under 10 units per month.
• Used Rapid Recon after the fact to move the trade to frontline in less then 7 days (usually)
• Mastered Reynolds Ignite and e-leads to work and structure deals.
• Submitted all deals with dealertrack
• However my main job was getting cars, thru trades, Service lane, ACV, OVE & Car Offer, KBB leads and thru a few wholesaler friends. Averaged 5 street buys a week alone.
• My goal was to be positive at the end of every day. If we sold 5 cars then I needed 6 cars from trades or street purchases to be +1. (Which is very hard)
• I am looking to make 125k to 175k per yr
