Sales Professional in the Internet Department. My responsibilities include contacting customers via incoming emails, chat line, internet leads, phone calls, and service history reports. My goal is to convince the customer to schedule an appointment to meet with me. Once they come in, I help them select a car, highlight the dealership, negotiate price of the new car and trade; and start the necessary paperwork. I also send prospective internet customers: “Vehicle Consumer Sheets”, product brochures, price range information and quotes on both new and pre-owned vehicles. Toyota was my initial focus, but I currently have been selling a the Chevrolet Dealership. I also sell a full range of other Pre-Owned vehicles including: Lexus, VW, Hyundai, Ford, GMC, Chevrolet and BMW. Through our chat line, I answer questions about the four local David Maus dealerships, service department, rental cars, and maintenance contracts. Although I was relatively new to the automotive business, I’ve learned quickly and have met or exceeded the sales goals I was given. For the past three months, I have been ranked first or second in sales. I am now helping train and assign internet leads to new Sales Professionals, coming into the new Chevrolet Dealership.

I was hired as the Regional Manager to set up a local sales presence in Florida. When I first started with Technologent our sales were slightly above $300K, mainly from remote sales of service contracts and some hardware. I sold Sun Microsystems high-end servers and storage, to commercial and state/local government customers. I completed the local team by hiring a systems engineer and Enterprise Service Manager. I grew the Hardware and Service Contract business to $6M before we added two additional sales reps in South Florida and Atlanta, GA. I helped them during the transition of accounts and assessing new opportunities. The products that I sold were: Sun/Oracle, IBM, HP, EMC, NetApp Hardware and others. I was recognized at our 2009 Annual Sales Meeting with the “President’s Summit Award”.

As the primary contact for MOCA' s Florida Sun Resellers, I directed our Account Team for each Reseller in all areas. These areas include: Sales, Marketing, Training and Technical Support. I shared ownership of each of our VAR's success with Sun; making sure the Reseller remained compliant with their Sun contract & kept their Sales Staff and SE's competency certification up-to-date. I also was responsible for selling MOCA’s Sun Complimentary products (Hitachi Data Systems, Veritas, Computer Associates, Oracle, Procom, NAI, IBM DB2 & E-Commerce Software, and others), into each account. I assisted my resellers recruit new Sales Reps and SE's, expand their business by using MOCA's marketing programs; and coordinated MOCA's & SUN's efforts at trade shows & conventions. I recruited 6 new SUN resellers and 5 new Complimentary Product Resellers. I consistently retained all of my resellers during renewal. I increased the Florida territory from $13M to $22M. I was recognized for obtaining the highest percent over quarterly goal on 5 occasions. MOCA was awarded Harris Corporation’s “Vendor of the Year – 2000 Award” for my account management efforts.
