Deep dedication to the Powersports Industry! For 14 years I sold powersports parts and accessories for the worlds largest distributor. By attending trade shows and seminars and through personal interaction with the leaders in the industry I became an expert in all aspects of Aftermarket Motorcycle parts retailing. From tires and tubes, to helmets and jackets, my knowledge of both the products and the retail environment enabled both myself and my clients to excel. I have visited and sold parts and accessories to over 200 powersports dealers. With Parts Unlimited I was assigned to accounts all over Southern California, from San Louis Obisbo to Long Beach. Promoted and sold seasonal sales programs. Using data acquired from B2B website, excel reports and Lightspeed reports to ensure dealerships could control inventory dollars and maximize profits. Recognize trends and create profit centers. Built lasting relationships in my market area by offering solid advice, professionalism and value allowed me to meet and exceed sales goals and customer satisfaction year after year.
Started my outside sales career with a middle sized, local distributor. Covered a significant geographical area on a 2-3 week rotation. Dug deep into the catalog to find niche items the bigger vendors could not offer. Also using the "Advantage" of a smaller distributor to create value for the client. Consistently working harder and smarter than the competition created loyalty and trust.
Started in 1993 when I was fresh out of college at 22 years old. Focused on buying, selling and consigning Powersports related vehicles. Sold over 700 units. Hired parts personnel, mechanics and other outside vendors. Did all purchasing of parts and accessories both for resale and for bikes to sell. Negotiated all buying and selling of units. Arranged financing and extended warranties. Sponsored local riders and events. Opened the local motocross track for weekly practices. Held meetings for local off-road racing clubs. Organized special events, like open houses, trips to Supercross in LA, autograph signings. Put my blood, sweat and tears into my dream. Worked 6 day weeks and sometimes 18 hour days to make it all happen. The main goal was to get riders on bikes, promote safety, responsible use of public lands, and family fun. Closed in 1999 to pursue other avenues in the Powersports industry.
