THAD COOK
Wichita,Kansas
Summary
I have been in the automotive industry for over 20 years with most of that time spent either as a sales manager or Finance manager/Director.
I enjoy the auto business and feel like if you treat your customers right and are always straightforward with them that you will retain those customers.
I feel that this is how you make a dealership grow.
I love to bring a positive attitude to my work place and always try to find a way to make every situation come out well for all parties.
I have always been among the top producers at every dealership I have worked for both selling cars and doing finance.
