What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a job with structured and routine days. Simple and clear objectives and goals are laid out daily. Looking to establish long-term success and structure rather than resetting from scratch every month in the dealership.

I’m an automotive sales consultant who stays quick and adaptive—listening closely to what customers want, then using the information I gather to match them with the right vehicle. At Anderson Toyota, I focus on prime (good credit) customers and build trust by staying in touch to drive referrals and future sales.

Before that, I represented Kunes GMC, where I worked with subprime customers—qualifying needs, pulling stipulations, finding the right options, and closing deals with support from cosigners and budget-based guidance. I also set, met, and exceeded sales goals while qualifying pressure and moving deals forward.

My sales background started with AT&T, promoting and distributing products with a marketing team and closing deals in-store for phones and services like internet packages and DirectTV. Earlier, as an Assistant Shop Manager at Take 5 Oil Change, I helped run the shop—handling inventory, leading the team when needed, and supporting hiring and training—alongside a foundation in Web Design and programming (HTML, CSS, Python, and TensorFlow).
