Hello people out there in car buyer land. And hello to my friends. I hear the concern in your voices. You may see me at church, out buying groceries, or just at the park with my daughter playing hide-and-seek or freeze-tag. Every now and then you ask me, "So Bernard, how (gulp--thinking to yourselves...I'm so sorry for bringing up this horrible topic) is business?" I am thankful that you are caring enough to be concerned--really. All of my family is back in or near my hometown of little ole'
Pahokee, FL. I have been here in Charleston since I was recruited by the legendary coach
John Kresse back in 2001 to play Division 1 basketball at the prestigious
College of Charleston. I have since then graduated college and never left.
I want you to know that I am doing fine. My daughter is smiling and laughing all the time and we eat the best of Chuckie Cheese Pizzas on what seems like every other weekend--what can I say--she's my princess. The point is, things are great from my perspective. I recently received a sweet promotion to an awesome position in my dealership. I am now your friendly Internet Sales Lead Manager/ Internet Representative/ Internet Manager/ etc, etc. Anyway you want to name it, I am your guy. Since 92% of car buyers shop on the internet before they buy a car, I think my job is pretty spankin' important to the you the people, and to the wonderful company that employ's me and nearly 4,000 others--
Hendrick Automotive Group (HAG). While many dealerships were closing from left to right this past year,
HAG has retained all of it's dealerships and even picked up a few ailing franchises. We have been blessed as a company and are on track to have our third best year in our company's history.
Soooo, How's business? Business is great! I would like to say thanks to all the people that are still sending e-mail requests for prices and calling about vehicles we have listed all over cyberspace and
http://www.hendrickcars.com/. I would also like to send a special shout out to my internet home at
http://www.rickhendrickdodge.com/.
Finally folks, if you want to buy a car in the most painless way possible, shoot me a quick
email at
bernard.jackson@hendrickauto.com. I'll take care of you. In return, you'll be taking care of me and when you ask that question, I can continue to say, "As a matter of fact, business is going great!" Thanks for asking.
