Rick Christopher Joins US Equity Advantage® as Regional Account Manager for the Southeast
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) July 29, 2013 -- US Equity Advantage® (USEA) – a leading provider of biweekly and custom loan payment services to the automotive industry, announced today that veteran automotive retail expert Rick Christopher has joined the company as regional account manager for the Southeast. Christopher’s primary responsibility will be to develop and grow USEA’s business with new and existing automotive dealership accounts and automotive agencies in the Southeast. He will report directly to chief marketing officer, William Lathrop.
Christopher brings to USEA more than twenty years of retail automotive experience. He has a true understanding of automotive dealerships having worked as a finance manager for 13 years, as a sales manager for three years and ultimately as a dealer owner for six years. Christopher also has a deep understanding of the agency side of the business as he spent over a decade providing F&I products to dealerships, specializing in training and development through menu presentation and objection handling, along with compliance. As an agent, he partnered with major dealer groups in Northeast Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania, where he helped to dramatically improve their per vehicle retail average (PVR) and product index by as much as 100 percent. He attributes this success, in part, to the AutoPayPlus™ service, which these dealerships embraced.
