Retail Automotive’s Blog

This blog is specifically for people working in the retail automotive industry. Retail automotive professionals have long been a unique blend of people who for the most part have relied on word of mouth for industry employment information.

This blog is an attempt to share job opportunities and pass along the hiring needs specific to the retail auto industry. We will also look for ways to improve your skill set so you can become better at what you do. I definitely subscribe to the mantra, if you want more, you must become more. Whether you sell cars, work in a business office, repair vehicles or call any of the other departments in a dealership your second home, I am going to offer helpful hints to make your job a little easier.

Like most every “expert” in the auto industry, I plan to take the best ideas and share them with you here. Much of our focus will be related to the people side of the business. This monthly newsletter will offer a monthly article focusing on Sales, Service, Parts or the Business Office focusing on opportunities in the industry.

I certainly  won’t have all the answers but like any good car person, I will at hopefully offer you a little ammo to fight your fight. If you or someone you know has an idea or message worth sharing with our subscribers, please contact us and I will steal your idea too! Just kidding, I will give credit where credit is due and really want to hear from all of you.

The retail auto industry offers as much opportunity today as it ever has even in this difficult economic time. I will point out job opportunities, insights, humor with a genuine empathy and understanding for those working retail.
