What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a new home where I can use strategic sales leadership and profit-architecture skills to drive sustainable dealership growth—through disciplined process management, strong F&I results, and measurable multi-site performance.

I’m a results-driven Vehicle Sales Manager with 16+ years of progressive automotive experience across VW, Audi, Renault, and Peugeot. I specialize in executing rapid sales turnarounds, boosting F&I penetration, protecting gross profit, and rebuilding momentum through disciplined sales process management.

In my recent role at NTT Volkswagen Potchefstroom, I consistently exceeded monthly sales targets using disciplined prospecting and value-based selling, while building a robust client pipeline through systematic follow-up rhythms. I also led teams across multiple dealerships—revitalizing an inherited, underperforming unit (from 2 to 8 monthly sales) by implementing daily KPI huddles, focused training, and transparent goal-setting. Across my career, I’ve increased unit sales by 300% and cleared multi-million Rand aged inventory, with full accountability for sales operations, strategic planning, and customer satisfaction.
