Objective
My objective is to create the top producing Internet Sales Department in the area. I want to share my experience with any team member that’s willing to learn more about becoming an excellent Internet Sales Consultant. I also would like to be sure that all competition are looking to the store that I’m a part of as the store that they would like to be and/or be a part of.
Qualifications
I have been in the automotive retail business since 1994. I started at Beaman Automotive Group in April of 2001. I was introduced to Internet Sales in 2002 and I became a part of the Internet Department full time in 2003. I remain in the Internet Sales Department until my departure from Beaman in July of 2006 when I accepted an Internet Sales Manager’s position at another location. Since I left Beaman I have completed GM Certification as a Sales Manager and Certified Internet Sales Manager. During my tenure at Beaman as an Internet Sales Consultant we accomplished rankings in the top 100 Internet Sales Departments for 3 consecutive years. I also became an Internet Sales Director with two stores under my authority while employed with Dunn Pontiac Buick GMC/ Gary Mathews of Jackson. I was able to take the Dunn location from averaging 8 sales per month to averaging 25 to 32 a month with gross profit amounts of $40k to $70k per month. I was able to get the Jackson location up from averaging 12 sales per month to averaging 33 per month with gross profit amounts of $60k to $75k per month. For the past year I’ve helped keep the doors open for a dropped GM Franchise store after which we became an Independent dealer. I became the Sales Manager/Internet Sales Manager/Desk Manager at that location, yes I were 3 caps simultaneously. My duties included overseeing the Internet Sales, Desking deals, Overseeing sales personnel, and overseeing our pre-owned inventory (appraising, reconditioning).
