Francis Borts, Corwin Automotive Leadership Team

2017-02-03 22:17:53| AutomotiveDigest.com - Automotive Industry News

Break the Mold: This Millennials Got Drive Here is an example of how Millennials are becoming Leaders & Role Models for all young people in the Automotive Industry. What is Francis's wonderful Story? Not long after graduation, and a chance encounter on Corwin Automotives car lot while shopping for a car with a member of the sales team, Francis began his career with the dealership. He became part of the Corwin Automotive Team in 2006 as a member of the sales team. Two years into his time with Corwin, he became a Sales Manager and held the position for six years. A new opening at a partner dealership led Francis to become a General Sales Manager two years ago and as of January 1, 2017, he was promoted to General Manager and Partner of a Corwin dealership in Omaha, Nebraska. What has led to Francis determination, drive, and loyalty to Corwin Automotive? He likes that Corwin Automotive is a family-owned company, not a corporation. The open-door policy and being able to walk into the owners office if he has a problem, question, or concern is something that is very important to me. Its something one cant do at the corporate level and something that the culture here invites. He also likes that Corwin is very process-oriented. Structure is something thats almost second nature to him given his upbringing and background in athletics, so the fit with the process-driven culture is very appealing, as well. What has he accomplished? Francis new role as GM and Partner in Omaha, Nebraska is a challenge he welcomes and is extremely excited to embark upon. Coming from one of the oldest Dodge dealerships in the nation, Francis position at the dealership in Omaha will require him to promote the Corwin brand, attract new clientele, and align the vision of the new dealership with that of its predecessors. While he doesnt have to completely change the culture of the dealership, he realizes there will be some tweaks that need to be made. Francis feels prepared to take on this new role thanks, in part, to his work with Solutions 21, a company that has evolved to provide businesses with programs that focus on people and strategic development, and is a pioneer in helping businesses attract and retain Millennial workers and manage inter-generational challenges.
