Hello, everyone. Welcome back to another Volley rally. Today I'm taking the opportunity to introduce another one of our awesome team members. Jeff Lippold is our new national sales director, and I'm really excited to take the opportunity to introduce him to you all. Very excited to have Jeff on the team and to have him here with me today. So, Jeff, thanks for taking the time.
Good morning, Jake. Thanks for the opportunity to chat with you this morning. I'm excited to have a conversation and share with the audience a little bit about my background and where I've come from in automotive.
Definitely excited about it. And obviously you all don't know that I'm recording this at 12:37pm Jeff says. Good morning, Jeff. Where are you located?
Yeah, the time zones are different for us, Jake. I live in beautiful Denver, Colorado, so definitely enjoying a winter season today.
Yeah, we were, before we started recording, talking about the weather and, and I was telling him how chilly 63 degrees felt here in South Florida. So, Jeff, tell everyone a little bit about your background before volley.
Yeah, absolutely, Jake. You know, I'm thrilled to step into the role as national sales director here at Volley. I've got a combined, you know, 20 plus years of automotive experience, both in retail and in the automotive vendor tech world. Last eight years have been in sales leadership. You know, during my tenure, I've had the opportunity to focus on driving revenue growth, you know, and build meaningful client relationships, build dynamic sales teams. I'm really passionate about creating strategies and delivering values to dealers that make a lasting impact.
And what does the role of sales director look like on a day to day or even a week to week basis?
Well, the role of national sales director for me is really focusing on leading Volley's incredible sales team, developing and executing, you know, strategic plans that we put together to accomplish our internal goals and to make sure that we're delivering the best value to our customers. It's collaborating with other teams such as yours, Jake, to ensure that we deliver the best possible experience for all of our clients.
Mm. Yeah, it's. It's interesting here because we brought you on board and, you know, right. Right from the start, we kind of felt like, yeah, you know, this guy knows how to lead a sales team. You know, you. You've done a good job putting processes in place and, and managing activity and, you know, all the things that you would expect out of that. So, you know, I remember when, when I first met you, it was late September or early October when you came down here and we had dinner and then you started in November. What Excites you about Volley, Jake?
I think what really excites me about joining Volley is the company's innovative approach. You know, with comprehensive data management. I think dealers have so much data they're sitting on that they don't know what to do with that, that it just kind of sits and is unutilized and the dealers aren't experiencing value from it. I think Volley really has a commitment to empowering dealers through automated BDC processes and workflows. Volley's ability to streamline customer outreach and enhance engagement from a single platform is just a remarkable feat that we've got going on for us in the industry. We're really the pioneers in that area and I'm just really proud to be part of such a forward thinking team and having such a great mission.
Awesome. And lastly here, before we let you get back to your day, can you take a little bit and tell everyone a little bit about your life outside of work? What do you like to do for fun up there in Denver?
Well, outside of work, Jake, I really enjoy taking advantage of everything Colorado has to offer. You know, whether it's skiing, snowboarding, hiking, camping, traveling, spending time with my family and dogs. Those are some of my favorite activities. But I've got to tell you, Jake, at my core, I'm a car enthusiast, so I love tinkering on projects. I've got a couple in the garage that I'm, you know, working on. Maybe not today is. It's a little bit colder than Florida here in Colorado, so they're on standstill. But for me, I just have a passion about balancing professional goals and personal passions. And, you know, I'm really inspired by Volley's work hard, play hard culture. It's, it's a great place to work and a great team to be a part of.
Well, we're very excited to have you on board as well. And for those of you, if you get to see this before, nada, we'll definitely be there. And excited to see you all and excited to see you, Jeff there. So thanks so much for taking the time here to join me today. I'm really excited about it.
Thanks, Jake. Thanks, everyone. I'm excited to be here and help take Volley to the next level.
Awesome. And for everyone tuning in, thanks and have a fantastic day.
