What it’s like Working Here
“When I was hired at West Michigan International, I started cleaning and organizing our warehouse. The location manager began giving me more responsibilities as time progressed after seeing good clean work, such as pulling and shipping parts and inner branch transfers, loading and unloading trucks, and counting inventory.
From there I went into delivering parts to customer locations and handling cores. As relationships were built with customers and my continued interest in learning more, it was a good fit to begin training for working the parts counter.
Once I had the appropriate training, I was cut loose to start answering parts calls and helping walk-in customers. A couple of years into working the parts counter I became very proficient and began also managing deliveries from our branch. From this point, I discovered my knack for selling and thought I may be a good fit for an outside parts sales position especially given the amount of inside knowledge and exposure I had. Eventually, an outside sales position opened internally, so I applied, and I got the job!
After a chunk of successful years in outside parts sales, I was ready to take another step and inquired about open positions in the truck sales department. After creative thinking with the sales department manager, I now sell trucks in Grand Rapids and finance (F&I) for all locations. This brought new challenges and excitement that I am thankful for being awarded the opportunity. It is a great feeling to be successful while also continuing to build my resume to see what the future holds while growing and finding new ways to be an asset within West Michigan International! A very good feeling working for a company and people that promote from within!”
