About Trey Schmidt

Are you a manager at a dealership that is looking to fill a position? Are you currently working at a dealership but want to be promoted? Are you interested in starting a career at an automotive dealership? You\'ve come to the right place and I can help! My passion and goal is to help people have a better life because of their interaction with me and my company. I accomplish this by- Providing the opportunity to achieve financial goals- Providing clear expectations, performance standards and the feedback & coaching to meet them- Providing an honest environment that treats individuals with integrity- Providing the opportunity for professional development. My background and specialty is automotive dealerships. I worked at my family\'s CJDR dealership in Seminole, FL for over 13 years. While in high school, I would wash cars, porter service department cars and help check in parts during the summer. After college, I started working at the dealership full time and held various roles (Sales, F&I Manager, Sales Manager, F&I Director and General Sales Manager) before leaving in 2021 to start my own business.I have an unique ability in connecting with my clients on a practical and relatable level because of my experience at various roles at the dealership, plus my experience from the ownership perspective. I graduated with a Master\'s Degree in Business Analytics and a Bachelor\'s Degree in Business from Wake Forest University. While at Wake Forest, I played wide receiver on the football team, which won the ACC Championship in 2006. I would love to connect with you here and/or feel free to send me an email at t•••@magnolia-auto.com.
