A strong independent automotive mind and an attitude that customers are frequent ly right but need our expert guidance to be right more than 50% of the time; tha t about sums me up. Attitude with a mix of team spirit, respect for others and retail and wholesale management results, rooted in a professional understanding of client and subordinate motivational "hot spots" are representative hallmarks of my long, active and productive career. I managed successfully up to fifty-two retail shops for several nationally known , international companies using remarkable speaking and persuasive talents and l ed markets and shops to historical profitability and expansionary business succe sses. New attitudes, an ability to articulate strong, sensible plans, teamed wit h creative, strategic executions were responsible for success in my own business es and those of others I was asked to lead. Persistence and a company-focused mindset are respecte d and valued Company assets. Goal oriented, operational action plans, a strong-w illed aptitude for success and an old fashioned work ethic brought my sleepy bus iness acquisition from that of a marginal rust proofing shop into a successful, regional accessory "place to buy". Developing actionable strategic plans, motivation to seek out profitable growth and exercising strong professional insights have traditionally been my goals and they can work for General RV. Let's get together now toan discuss the means to the accomplishment of our goals .how we can accomplish
