Paul Smit Email and Phone Number

Negotiated pricing to wholesale buyers for every property we sold. Worked with Director of Acquisitions to ensure profitable purchase price, and Operations Manager to ensure property updates and repairs were completed on time and above expectations.

Developed our brand through strategic industry partnerships. Added value to our software partners by providing a low cost vehicle history report alternative to their dealership clients nationwide. Helped CA dealers comply with AB1215 requiring an NMVTIS report to accompany every used car sold at retail.

Outperformed all 52 of my Southern California counterparts in 2010 and 2011, managing 9 locations with 30+ employees, and 1100+ cars. I successfully pushed my team to consistently reach our goals in all four core areas of the business: customer service, fleet growth, employee retention, and profitability. Developed outside sales plans, inside sales training, and an environment of continuous competition with substantial recognition and rewards for my top performers. Expectations were that everyone was responsible for raising the bar and crushing our competition. A culture of coaching, training, and developing was organically grown in each and every office.

Handled all Pacific Rim aerospace and airline accounts. Researched and replied to requests for quotes for raw materials, parts, and chemicals.
