Talking I'm pretty stoked!!

I'm currently in Melbourne and have just had 3 days of intensive finals competition for Chrysler,Jeep & Dodge Parts Specialist of the Year 2008.
(My brain Aches!!)

I qualified after placing inside the top 5 in the 3 qualifying exams spread over the last 12 months.

I'm stoked because, out of 64 national dealers, I have just placed 3rd nationally.

I finished 3rd behind 2 other competitors who have both worked for CJD dealers in excess of 8 years each.

Why am I so happy?

I only have 18 months of CJD franchise experience at this point.....

Finishing inside the national top 15 felt good, finishing the last qualifier inside the top 5 was better.

Finishing on the podium in 3rd is awesome!!

WIN=WIN (Time for a pay rise!)

General Parts Interpretation - speed/accuracy
CJD error resolution (catalogue errors)
Blind quoting (i.e no vin -which sucks!)
Order logistics
Stock control
Cost control/pricing
Chassis systems- (suspension/Brakes) diagnosis
Engine systems - diagnosis
Driveline - diagnosis
Recall/Tsb resolution
Electronic application/accessory retrofitment

We use any of up to 5 different resources to resolve problems put to us.
Asked to solve uncommon problems, find uncatalogued parts etc.

It's pretty full on.
