Over my 35 year career with GMAC/Ally, I have worn many hats. The experiences now provide me with an excellent understanding of Ally's business and that of our dealers. I have taken Ally's MRO Training and I am AFIP Certified. I have sold cars in a dealership as well as filled in behind the F&I desk. I have worked with Used Car Managers to develop effective schedules to turn over their inventory; from retail sales, to SmartAuction and the physical lanes. I have posted cars on smart auction.
I had told my last Ally Manager that of all the positions I've held, I most enjoyed managing the sale at Southern Auto Auction. During my time there, I guided the reconditioning process, set the sales line-up, and stood on the block. Weekly efforts with the auction's sales team to build dealer relationships, maximize attendance and customer satisfaction. Over my 3 years there, Southern was the number one ranked independent sale in the country.
