I am making a change... and for me, that says a lot because my professional career really spans just two "jobs": 16 years at Southern AA and 9 years at Sudden Services LLC. I've spent more time on LinkedIn recently and see "professionals" that are 5-7 years into a career and have been at three different companies in two different industries and that brings me to the realization that the "change" that I am referring to is really no change at all.
What's changing is the enhancement I am making to my company and how I will be modifying [its] template to successfully build upon my stability and reputation. If you don't say enough good about yourself, either there isn't anything there or, your modest. For me, it is the latter and that is changing as well! I have a vast and expansive wealth of auction experience and a unique perspective on what makes auction utilization for dealers work (and not work). Over the next 11 to 15 months, I am going to be targeting auctions as customers to train auction people how to be better auction people. A 3% increase in sold rates at auction is my product... EVERY auction will be ears!
I have been attending and participating in a new podcast, "Auto Transport Intel" that Jay Wertzberger produces and broadcasts with Ty Thompson. It drills in on automotive transport and is dedicated to improving the industry. A topic I explored with them recently was focused on not how to get new business as a transporter but a revealing look at some of the reasons we can't get new business. The theme was that if we look at ourselves with open eyes and ask if we feel if we're putting our best foot forward, what little things could we do to improve our professional profile... and that triggered the theme, "reimagining service". Over the next several weeks, I'll define Reimagining Service in more detail, and we will dig in on the relationships that the car auctions have with vehicle transporters. Stay tuned!
