Rod Ricciardi is a Respected General Auto Manager



Rod Ricciardi consistently reminds others why he is one of the best at running automobile dealerships.  In 2008, he was brought into  the struggling Bessemer Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Corp. in Bessemer, Alabama; a challenge he had taken on with confidence and diligence.

While at Bessemer Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Corp., Rod Ricciardi pursued the reconstruction of the dealership for over three years and overcame multiple challenges that included a disorganized management structure and lack of resources. He was able to turn around the dealership to achieve an unprecedented leading rank in the Birmingham district for retail sales volume. In 2008 and 2009 the dealership was ranked #1 in retail sales in the state of Alabama, and delivered an unprecedented 298% Market Share Retail.

Another challenge that Rod Ricciardi faced while at Bessemer Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Corp, was the inexperienced staff. He restructured the staff while also hiring and training top-quality managers and other personnel. While there he instituted a proactive culture supported by processes for driving sales, customer service, and satisfaction. He also taught the team to pursue solution-driven results while actively partnering with their clients and prospective clients. Rod Ricciardi established marketing and advertising plans while motivating the sales team to be proactive about bringing business through the door.

Overall Rod Ricciardi revamped all of the operations of the dealership and worked hard to create systems and processes that improved sales. His team became known for their ability to  deliver top closing rates and greatly increase the average gross profits of the dealership.
