Fourth-generation car dealer George Grubbs III grew up wanting to be a doctor - until he got his first taste of the sales side of the automotive industry. Now, he’s president and CEO of his family’s dealership group, boasting six stores and on their way to further expansion.
George joins Derek D for an insightful conversation spanning his lifelong love of automobiles from multiple standpoints, what it’s like having a family history in car sales that stretches so far back, switching to a pickup truck for his daily drive, and developing a new brand as the market becomes ready for it. He also talks about how to mitigate risks during dealership group expansion, the importance of proper documentation and updating documents, what happens when someone says they’d like to buy a car just like the one he’s driving, and more.
