Bio
Michael Dudley
I have known Marko for many years and he has been the most professional and supportive customer relationship manager I have dealt with (that is my made up title). He is passionate about his product, knows it intimately and finds a way to match my needs with the best solution. I never feel "sold to" with Marko. He genuinely wants you to love the outcome and gives you the information, time and space to make up your mind. I have only known Marko in the context of the motor vehicle industry, but I have no doubt he would excel in any industry, particularly where it is a high value purchase. I am sorry he has left Mercedes as I was hoping to go back to that brand but that creates an opportunity for someone else to pick up a real star. Michael Dudley

Special Vehicle's Manager - BMW Melbourne -
-
Feb 2015 - Dec 2016
Responsible for the Special Vehicles target across 2 sites (Southbank and Kingsway). Selling BMW's flagship range the 6 series and 7 Series range it was imperative targets were met in this segment. From fleet management and building appropiate stock for our showroom whist carefully looking at my competitors for a point of difference always managed to give me an edge increasing my chances for a sale. Working closely with all internal departments to ensure customer satisfaction was paramount. Always looking for an opportunity to do more I worked on building relationships with large organisations to be on the front foot which greatly aided me reach and even exceed my targets. Responsible for mentoring 2 sales teams to collaborate and work together on providing first class service and a solution based sell rather than 'just a product' was something I took pride in. I always aimed to be a trusted vehicle advisor to our clients, not just for the initial purchase but throughout their entire ownership period. Taking care of any vehicle need they may have. From arranging a service to providing information on finance & insurance needs I would always look to find ways of minimising my clients need to take care of anything besides the initial call. Exceptional at dispute resolution, hosting the who's who at corporate events like Caulfield Cup and a comfortable presenter to small and large groups. Achievements: Achieved 100% of target after commencing in February 2015. Achieved 193% of target in 2016.
