✨ **Building Lifelong Relationships Beyond BMW** ✨ Reflecting on my journey with BMW, I'm incredibly humbled and proud to share a unique aspect of my experience—my enduring connection with many of my former customers. Despite moving on from my role at BMW, these relationships have flourished and evolved into something truly special. I’m often contacted by my ex-BMW customers who seek advice on a range of topics, from their current cars to insurance, servicing, and even their next automotive purchase—whether it’s a BMW or any other vehicle for their family. It’s heartwarming to see that they still trust me with their important decisions. Our interactions go beyond professional advice. I frequently meet up with some of these customers for lunch, a drink, or a weekend drive. Many of them even invite me to their family functions and special events, treating me as part of their extended family. This experience has taught me a profound lesson: true bonding and genuinely understanding your customers can lead to lifelong friendships and sometimes even become like family. It fills me with pride to know that my dedication and passion for automobiles have resonated so deeply with them. What makes this even more special is that they chose to stay in touch after I left BMW. Their gratitude, the joy they express over their BMW purchases, and the fact that they think of me whenever they see their car is incredibly fulfilling. Today, I am fortunate to be working at a company Revv Growth owned by one of my ex-BMW customers Karthick Raajha. This opportunity is a testament to the strong bonds we’ve built and the trust they’ve placed in me. I want to take this moment to thank all my customers for their unwavering trust and friendship. Your support means the world to me, and I look forward to continuing this journey with you all. #CustomerRelationships #AutomotivePassion #BMW #LifelongConnections #TrustAndBonding #CustomerExperience #CareerJourney

CHAPTER 23A - THE INADVERTENT MIDLIFE CRISIS, SOUTHWEST AIRLINES = MY FRIEND, SELF-IMPOSED EXILE, WORKING IN A WAREHOUSE, & REBUILDING POST DIVORCE I loved my Nissan team. We created a successful program from scratch, using Ford dealer complaints to build Nissan's offering right. I am still grateful to Jonathan Y. for enabling our success. But leaving Nissan was a mistake. My faith I thought led me to pursue my career dreams, so when Chrysler offered near 2x the compensation & a return to field sales & dealers, I seized the opportunity, getting a colonial in Orlando to live in. I worked on payments, ads, media, strategy, events, incentives, contests, & sponsorships, falling in love with the product. I was glad to be broader than digital retail. I met the then sole US Alfa Romeo employee (it was pre-relaunch). Little did I know I was led for different learning: the importance of family. It was a lonely experience, having left my kids behind in Nashville. I flew home every 2 weeks, relying on Southwest for the short trip. Chrysler's office was in an Orlando parts warehouse on Boggy Creek Rd, aptly named for the swampy surroundings. Despite the lucrative job, I was miserable, disconnected from my kids. The environment was far from ideal. The bi-weekly flights weren't enough to alleviate my longing for my children. Our leader, a brilliant micromanager who had endured the contest & incentive director job 2x during Chrysler's bankruptcy, rightly demanded perfection from the new guy who hadn't lived his same hell. Despite our similarities, the situation given my context was untenable. An in-office agency supervisor said she almost walked out when she got there, she could barely cut the office vibe with a knife. My grief simply didn't mix. One dealer, trying to curry favor, insisted on carrying my briefcase, hoping to secure an outsized share of my budget. I found him prostrating himself before me distasteful, as I was committed to helping all dealers & customers, not one. When my 7-yr old came Christmas 2011, his tearful 2012 goodbye wailing out my folks' car window down the block confirmed in my heart that my time at Chrysler had to end. Thankfully, months later, a friend pulled me back to Nashville into the big data world. Eric Brown's generosity & interest in me were lifesaving. I gained new opportunities, & helped service automotive accounts & prospects. Most importantly, I was reunited with my kids, eliminating the need for that painful separation & then bi-weekly flight from Nashville to Orlando. Despite seeing the Disney fireworks from the air just before landing every other Sunday, the cognitive dissonance of such a beautiful display & my grief on returning were irreconcilable. Have you ever made life-altering decisions that have dramatically changed your journey, & those of your beloveds? Did they impact your worklife? Career? Looking back, how do you perceive them now? #job #drive #family #opentowork #sales #marketing #field #cars
