Lou Shapiro Email & Phone Number

The key to a successful sales relationship begins and ends with the customer.This is the leading principle that has guided me throughout my 20+ years in sales across the automotive industry, including detailing, new car sales, and financing. I dedicate myself to not only intimately understanding the products that I sell, but also learning the current and future needs of my customers. As a result, I can effectively sell to C-suite customers, foster long-term relationships that boost revenue, and network for new pipeline advancement.As the Sales Manager for Mercedes-Benz USA in Manhattan, I oversee a team, guiding business development strategies that consistently hit the target. Since joining M-B Manhattan, I have led my team to unprecedented success, increasing the aggregate client satisfaction score and obtaining multiple Best of the Best Awards.I am a leader and team player within any sales team. I always look for opportunities to optimize sales processes, mentor and develop the skills of my team members, and support bottom-line growth. Furthermore, I am a passionate problem solver focused on team-wide strategy alignment to bolster streamlined business and sales operations. Throughout my tenure in sales, I have never lost sight of the big picture and remain diligent in my quest for innovation to continuously improve myself, my team, and our client's experiences. My goal in any client or prospect interaction is to sincerely understand their pain points and needs, consultatively assisting them to achieve their goals.If you would like to connect or know more about my professional story, please send me an InMail message or email me at loushapiro@me.com.
