About

Hi, I’m Nick a young male go getter. Grew up loving anything sport related. This lead me to Southern Cross University studying a Bachelor of Exercise science. During my time at University I also completed my certificates for personal training. My personal training was a great learning curve, this part of my life management to get me to the UK where I did training to work on a cruise ship. I was able to learn a lot about myself during this time and the work required to be successful and to step outside your comfort zone. On my return I dipped my toes further into sales where I started as a new and used car sales consultant for one of Brisbanes biggest dealers. Many years here aloud me to learn the fundamentals. After a few very successful years I again took the plunge and moved South to sunny Coffs Harbour. I again started in Carsales with a multi franchise dealership. I soon became the leading consultant who was trusted with training new staff and running brief sessions. I was prompted to Sales/Brand manager for one of the franchises which was eye opening to say the least. This period was one of the most challenging and rewarding. Highlight during this time was selling 52 cars in 1 single Month. After 3 years I moved across to Jaguar Land Rover. During my time here I was able to diversify my selling markets and learnt how to negotiate with high end clientele and management relationships over a long period time. The Pandemic hit and there were no certainties around job security. This lead me to applying for a role through McDonald Jones Homes, NSW largest home builder. I was offered the role of Building and Design Consultant for the Coffs Harbour region. I haven’t looked back since. Selling over 100 homes within my first 2 years. Sales is my calling, it’s in my blood. I think differently to most. I love everything about sales.
