Automotive Sales Clerk Apprenticeship

MAHAG Gruppe

  • Apprenticeship as an automotive sales clerk

Summary

In my youth, I was what you’d call a "car nut". The friendly lady from the career counseling once said, "You don’t even need to apply for that." That motivated me even more to work in this field. Shortly after, I got my apprenticeship as an automotive sales clerk.

Today, mobility is much more to me than just metal and four wheels. Mobility is multimodal, connected and smart. Optimizing things. Expanding and sharing knowledge. I’m convinced that innovation comes from exchange. Mobility fascinates me because it lets us discover new places, connect with people, and reach our goals. We’re in the midst of a major shift in established models, not just in mobility. Many industries are undergoing big changes.

Many executives are so caught up in day-to-day tasks that there’s little room left for development or strategy. They’ve long since let go of the joystick. Juggling the many tasks is getting harder. I’m a problem solver and work with decision-makers to regain structure and clarity. I provide ideas and support implementation so your company is fit for the future. Identifying opportunities, highlighting action areas, and designing an implementation plan. I involve your employees and actively engage them in the process. Result: securing market position and sustainable growth rates.
