__ Desking Deals: We assist in culminating the purchase process and assuring the customer experience.__ Internet Leads: Our staff makes a quality contact ASAP to set the appointment.__ Digital Marketing: Directing our website operations, 3rd party sites, and our SEO efforts.__ Service & Owner-Base: We create realistic offers to bring customers into the buying market.__ Customer-Centric Culture: While my primary mission is to help lead our team in driving new business, a true Customer-Centric culture is a necessity for long-term, stable success with today’s customer.

By both, "tweeking" existing and installing some key new processes--with most importantly, working these processes, our mission is to help drive our dealership to the next level of growth. This includes but is not limited to capturing new business, earning the repeat and referral business, and of equal importance, growing the customer experience. Our primary goal is to serve both the McConnell family and our phenomenal customers by developing and leading our staff to treat every opportunity, whether it be in New-Car, Pre-Owned, Existing customers, and Service Dept. customers as a precious resource and opportunity--demanding our most excellent efforts. This is absolutely essential in today's business environment, for any sustained success.

I gained a great deal during our time at Chris Myers AutoMall--both in learning and relationships. If not for a superior opportunity for my family and the expedited door to get back into a leadership role, I would likely still be there. I am privileged to still have good friends there.

Alabama, Texas, And Oklahoma

Identity Theft Education & Protection and Legal Service Memberships--both for Small Business & Personal/Family. Also educated and worked with Small Business--to help them get into compliance with Privacy/ID Theft Laws. At the height of our business, we had outlets in Alabama, Texas, and Oklahoma. Due primarily to our over-expanding when under capitalized, and further complicated by a dramatic downturn in the economy in 2008-2009, we eventually lost the business along with a large percentage of our personal assets. What a success story, right? Still, the lessons we learned through all that were literally priceless. Firstly, NEVER go into business without at least forming a LLC or incorporating. This would have protected not only my business, but also my personal finances, and most importantly, my family. I never--ever take success for granted. I now know that, in business--especially sales & marketing, you MUST work--though planned and competent, with a true sense of urgency. We also learned that, to really grow a business in sales, one must become a true leader of a sales force. It is not enough to "manage." We must LEAD them to become successful, disciplined, to a great extent self-reliant consistent producers. That is multiplying one's efforts in any business. And this demands consistency with a process--while when needed, flexible in our methodology.

Bay Minette, Al

We were privileged to work with some of the greatest, long-time faithful/committed people we'd ever met. However, it was here that I realized that I was not very good at "splitting" my time-loyalties. Due to some crushing medical debt from all the surgeries, I went back into business "bi-vocationally." For a while, we did incredibly well; however, due to there being such a demand from both the church needs and our business, we were less than successful--based on our goals and business plan. In April, 2007, I resigned from the church and went full-time in the business.

Trinidad, Tx

This was a true "learning experience." We worked with some very special and committed people, and while the church almost doubled in membership, I've never really looked at that as a true measure of "success" in this line of work.

Bullard, Tx

We were blessed and fortunate to be able to continue our work here--however, with my intensive focus. Rather than working with five high schools over four different towns/cities, we were able to focus on one high school in this one town, and the results were truly exciting. Here too we led a phenomenal staff of youth sponsors/counselors--as well as some talented teachers, and saw a great impact over those years.

Lewisville, Tx

We left business in January, 1990 to work full-time in ministry--leading a fantastic staff of youth sponsors/counselors. While this was a huge cut financially, it was many-times-over well worth it--having the privilege of seeing hundreds of teens impacted by the work and ministry. Now many of these--stretched out literally all over the globe are now impacting others.

Dallas/Fort Worth Area

In the business of--along with the explosive era of "Life Insurance Replacement" with Mutual Fund Sales ("Buy Term and Invest the Difference) I was one of the youngest RVP's in the fast-growing company. I was fortunate to lead a splendid team of managers and salespeople--having outlets in four states, Through both our successes and failures over those years, I was able to grow exceptionally in both people and leadership skills. I was privileged to work with some of the best business and sales-leadership minds of that era, and many of those lessons and developed skills have benefited us for almost three decades.
