Episode #204 - Courage, Confidence and Consistency with April Bean, GM, Bean Chevrolet
Description
Bean Chevrolet is a family owned business, stemming from 3 generations of entrepreneurs, highly regarded in the community and known for exceptional customer service, great deals, and community generosity, not to mention that familiar radio jingle that I'm sure you recognize. Over the years, they've supported the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation, golf tournaments, sports teams, and charitable events, and even extended members of the family have donated land in Carp and Dunrobin, on which community churches were built.
But what does it take to become the general manager of such a beloved dealership, especially with her father as the principal dealer? In our latest episode, April Bean, a young businesswoman shares how she rose through the ranks, fosters customer engagement, champions opportunities for women in automotive, and knows the importance of recognizing employees, especially in a demanding career that has long hours and high pressure sales targets.
