What are your main responsibilities in your current role?
The main responsibilities are inventory management. That's probably the biggest responsibility.
This is because I'm constantly managing the values of the cars and basically making sure the company doesn't lose money and that they're constantly making money. By managing inventory, I have to constantly keep track of market information, specifically Kelly Blue Book values and the wholesale values of the cars.
This gives me an idea of where the market is going. So ultimately, trends is a huge responsibility. Forecasting market value, and again, ensuring the company doesn't lose money by balancing their inventory based on how many cars they're selling and how many they're wholesaling. That's the biggest responsibility.
