2020-Present Used Car Manager Teton Motors
I was in charge appraising new and used trade in’s keeping leads followed up. When I took the department over they were averaging $1,300 to $1,500 front end gross. After 3 months I took the front end gross average to $2,800-
$3,300. Some of the things I implemented to turn the department around was proper inventory sourcing which lead to a quick turn on used cars and kept average used inventory to 28-35 days. I used V-Auto daily to focus on my inventory and reprice inventory frequently up or down. Besides utilizing vin solutions to ensure sales people were doing proper follow up. I would also focus on last 30 days of vehicles appraised but not taken in. When we obtained new inventory I would have my detail department do a quick wash and get some pictures online while they were waiting to go through the service department.

I was in charge of new and used car departments. My 5 years there I helped train sales and finance departments to implement new processes to sell more units and average higher grosses. When I took over as Sales Manager the store was only averaging 25 used units and 8 new units a month. With implementing a new process and daily training with departments, by the second year we were averaging 35 used units and 15 new units per month. Before I left the dealership we were up to 50 used units and 17 new units a month. Other duties at the dealership included being responsible for marketing, inventory control, inventory purchase, inventory orders, dealer trades and new vehicle incentive management. I was also responsible for handling all internet leads, as well as making sure websites stayed current with proper photos, prices, and vehicle descriptions. I achieved several General Motors certificates for new car sales manager, used car sales manager, and Mark of Excellence winner. 2003-2008 Finance Manager / Salesman
