1. What are your strengths (the things you do well) and how do you put them to use in your position?
1. People person.: I have always thought of my self as a “people person.” Connecting with new people has always been easy and comfortable for me. Readily and readily available as my first and favorite tool in my toolbox. It has always been useful when working with customers in a selling situation, creating an over the topover-the-top positive experience, or helping to calm down an upset customerscustomer and correct problematic situations. It’s the tool that is used to create the best outcome possible in any given situation when working without guests.
2. Thinking outside the box.: Most people use the term “thinking outside the box.,” but I have always thought of it as attacking each problem formfrom as many directions as possible. Finding- finding the direction that seems to correct the issue the best, and followfollowing through with the new plan of attack. A lot of my job turns in to problem-solving. Running, running into roadblocks that can’t always be overcome in conventional ways. It is helpful in finding creative ways to overcome sales objections, new ways to satisfy funding requirements while staying in all guidelines, getting bank approvals as often as possible, and in solving the day to dayday-to-day issues that pop up in the department and dealership. Although I have always thought of this as a straightstrength, I know that it is not always used as one. Melissa often referred to many of my solutions or ideas as “Reid’s loopholes,” depending on what specific problem I was applying my craft to. So with that, I am aware that I have come off Inin the past as annoying, slippery or overly persistent.
