Grote Automotive - Fort Wayne is hiring: Customer Service Representative in Fort

Hello,

My name is Clif and the next 5 minutes could literally change your life.

I love what I do. I love my job, my coworkers, my customers, and my day is filled with joy and constant challenges that make me grow and become a better person.

It wasn't always that way...

Not long ago I was frustrated, tired all the time, felt constant pressure, and was sick and tired of working my butt off and feeling like a hamster in a spinning wheel. I don't know if you've ever felt like you were stuck living the same frustrating day over and over.

Ever see the movie "Ground Hog Day"?

That was my life. Waking up. Stuck in traffic. Working 10-12 (LONG) hours. Driving home. Not seeing my family or friends (the ones I was doing all this for). Then the alarm goes off and I would do it all over again. I got paid. I made decent money. And I told myself that all this WORK was what I needed to do. Until one day I woke up and realized what I already knew; I had no "Breathing Room" - no margin in my life.

And worse, I wasn't feeling like I was doing what I was truly created for. I was just doing what I was really good at.

I wanted more...

(that’s the wrong word)

I needed more...

What changed for me was a decision that my life, my work, and my day needed to be filled with a purpose beyond bringing home a paycheck. I was surrounded by people and opportunities to make a difference. I realized my gift was to encourage, challenge, learn, and teach. I truly enjoy helping people become better versions of themselves! And after running car dealerships for over 22 years here in Indiana. I have never been so excited about life, my work, and my mission.

That's what brings me to YOU...

I'm looking for you if you are looking for an environment that will challenge you without crushing you. I'm hoping to meet you if you are sick and tired of being "stuck at work". And I want to meet you if you are committed to excellence and creating customer enthusiasm.

Where I am today...

Grote Automotive in Fort Wayne IN. Since I realized I needed this ‘breathing room” I started running the dealership differently and have already seen a lot of great changes to the culture and team. But we are not finished yet! Unfortunately, with all the changes I wanted to implement we had some people here who were not as committed to growth, excellence, and success as I needed them to be so we had to part ways.

Here is my invitation...

Grote Automotive is under a new mission and vision and we want you to consider joining us. We are a family-owned Mitsubishi dealership that is managed with strong principles and a commitment to creating an amazing employee experience and customer experience.
