Working to move our economy and ways of living in a clear, ethical, sustainable direction.
Strengths
says, "An experienced team tackling a market they know well with traction in dealer partnerships, and an industry in transition from analog/in-person sales to a much more robust digital buying and financing experience."
Advice
says, "Explaining the experience of the people involved (used car buyers, salespeople, finance mgrs, etc.) and how the solutions you're bringing to market are serving them better can put the more complex financial story in a human context."
