Russ Darrow Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Milwaukee

• Accounting

• General Sales Manager

  • Jul 2013 - Mar 2014

  Day to day and hands-on management of a multi - million dollar revolving inventory. I analyze and structure credit and risk based automobile loans for the largest, and continually growing, customer base in the state of Wisconsin. Ongoing daily prospect management and sales training with the goal of maximizing profit while maintaining the highest level of customer and sales force satisfaction. I am always available to my sales staff and supporting office staff when it comes to creative and efficient problem solving, whether on the sales floor personally structuring and closing a deal, or reviewing necessary paperwork and statements in the back office ensuring proper compliance, deal funding, and handling of continually changing dealership assets. I also will work with the many banks and lenders we retain relationships with to make sure that we get the most favorable and profitable loan structure that correlates or exceeds customer agreed purchase terms. I do my best to ensure my sales force can count on me to maximize and retain business for them within the dealership, with the capability to assist or take over at any point of the sales process when necessary. My goal is to talk to every potential prospect that walks into my dealership, so as to build the value and urgency of "right now", and turn a tire kicking shopper into a tried and true, completely satisfied, customer. I also try to help my staff learn and grow from every interaction, whether it results in a purchase or not. Show less

• Used Car Manager / New Car Manager

  • Nov 2012 - Jul 2013

  Managed and priced the used car inventory to be competitive and profitable using the many digital and electronic tools and data at my disposal. I appraised all trade vehicles and properly assessed any potential issues and problems as to determine the retail ability and potential performance of that specific make and model in the current marketplace. I would predict the initial cost of recon (reconditioning) to the best of my abilities and factor that into my active appraisal, also signing off on actual recon after the trade was acquired and inspected, making sure that when and if it hits the lot, it is in the best retail position both physically, mechanically, and financially. Also structuring deals, doing sales training, and one on one's with salespeople regarding current prospects, pending deals, and performance. Going to the auctions both physically and electronically was a key portion as well, as purchasing vehicles and liquidating non - retail assets (trades) was essential to business. Show less
