About Chet Spreen

I love to dig into tough business problems and solve them with experience and innovation. I create, scale and optimize dealerships to grow. To accomplish this, I focus on the critical processes to achieve key results, building amazing teams and quickly adapting to new insights. I have enjoyed many positions throughout my career in the automotive industry, Salesperson, Internet Manager, Internet Director, General Sales Manager, General Manager, and Dealer Principal. My personal and professional experiences have taught me the following about myself: I can successfully create, scale and optimize dealerships for high revenue on a budget- I put the customer at the center of all that I do- I excel at the execution of big ideas with given constraints - My gut instinct is good but I seek data for my final decisions I can align, lead and grow world-class sales teams from 10 to 50 people- I love to win, but helping the team win gives me greater joy - I speak sales, leadership and marketing - I tell great narratives that motivate people to be their best - The buck always stops with me, ROI or BYE I educate, refine and drive myself to be a better person, to live a growth mindset everyday - I am constantly learning because I never settle - I stay calm when faced with adversity - I focus on making high-quality decisions I enjoy meeting new people and hearing new perspectives.
