EP26 Putting a Fresh Face on the Automotive Industry and Building the Salesforce of the Future! - Amanda Hoffmann

In this special episode, we talk LIVE on the floor of the Women In Automotive, Conference with Amanda Hoffmann, winner of the WIA “Every Woman Award.” 

Amanda is a perfect example of how the conference is educating, acknowledging and empowering women in the automotive community and giving them the courage to be their best self and move the automotive industry forward by creating a positive place for growth and inclusion.

Amanda, who brought the tenacity of a struggling single mother and the sales skills she learned in the health and wellness industry, tells us the story of how she built a unique and profitable career for herself in the male-dominated car business. 

Breaking down the old-school ways of thinking and the typical car salesperson’s stereotypes, Amanda developed her “make a friend – sell a car” philosophy which made her the top performer and sales leader… not bad for a girl!

The Assistant Manager at Eagle Auto Mall Corp in Rd, Riverhead, NY, she believes that “Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing.”
