What I'm looking for
I am a sales and business development professional with 10 years of experience across automotive wholesale, account management, digital lead generation, and luxury dealership operations.
Most recently, I worked as a Business Development Representative with Fletcher Jones, supporting Audi and Mercedes-Benz dealerships. I managed inbound and outbound customer inquiries through phone, text, email, and CRM platforms; qualified prospective buyers; handled objections; and scheduled showroom appointments, with performance tied to appointment shows and completed vehicle sales.
Earlier in my career at R1 Concepts, I managed 200 wholesale accounts across the United States, Canada, Japan, and Uniter Arab Emirates. I built long-term client relationships, generated new business through strategic outreach, and supported revenue growth across domestic and international markets.
My strengths include business development, consultative selling, account management, lead qualification, CRM management, customer retention, and cross-functional collaboration. I am currently exploring opportunities in account management, business development, automotive sales, and customer success where I can build strong client relationships and contribute to sustainable revenue growth.
