Why would you want to hire me:
I have worked extensively with software like (though some of it may now be dated): Rey Rey, ADP, Dealertrak, Quorum, System 2000, Vinsolutions, Dealer Impact, Knowme, Callsource, Call Command, Salesforce, Higher Gear, BZ Results, Promax, Contact at Once! and many more that I can't think of at the moment.
I have handled SEO/SEM/PPC, ZMOT marketing, retargeting, geo/demo/zip based marketing, behavioral marketing, rich media, social media as well as many others.
I have worked, implemented and maximized 3rd party advertising sources like; Cars.com, Autotrader.com, Dealix, Craigslist, KBB, Yahoo-including Behavioral targeting, as well as many others.
I currently reside in Lafayette, Louisiana and would consider relocation for the right position. I am looking for a career position with a dynamic, growing and/or solid organization. As I really don't like "selling myself" in this way, I would appreciate if you have the slightest interest or think I may be a good fit to review my Linkedin profile or contact me directly.
Thank you for your time and putting up with my abundance of bulletpoints!

Successful as in:
- Increased revenue immediately and dramatically everywhere I have worked.
- Never have received a bad review or been fired for lack of performance or because of attitude, tardiness.
- I am transparent and communicate well enough to train and show businesses, dealerships and/or managers how to change and sustain a "winning culture", which may be why I am looking for a new home.
- You can ask my references!
Why would you want to hire me:
- I do a lot of research and analysis before I put a plan into action and then I execute that plan, complete with start date, completion date, costs and ROI.
- I manage expectations well. The whole "under promise and over deliver" thing is very important to me.
- I am a team player and when needed, can change positively the culture. I believe in giving people the tools they need to succeed, managing their expectations and holding them and myself accountable for the results.
- I am forward thinking, creative and dare I say, "out of the box" thinker, with an excellent business mind and learn quickly.
- I have been in the top 10% in sales and sales management at every place I have worked (where it was track-able).
