  • I have been in customer service my whole life. From waitressing at various restaurants, to handling many customers in my years as a car salesperson. I am very prolific at reading people and establishing a common bond with them to forge a relationship that in many instances lasted for years. My people skills are above par. From handling customer complaints and compliments while still being able to take care of their needs in a timely, professional manner. My phone skills are impeccable. Much of my time while I sold cars was spent on the phone. Cold calling to customers who no longer have a sales person, following up with previous customers, revisiting current customers who have yet to make a decision. I am always kind, polite and extremely professional, I pride myself on that. My attention to details and being able to assess each situation as it occurs, then proceed in the proper manner, are also a couple of character traits that I possess.
