My Mother: My Locator

"Mom! Mom! Mooooooommmm!??!.......Babe....Babe.....Honey....Where's my-?" How often do we hear these words? As moms, it seems we are often the keepers of tissues, car keys, eye glasses, wallets, kids stuff and more. Over the past few weeks I've been working with my 11 year old on him keeping track of his own basketball bag when we are at tournaments and games. This has surely been an undertaking. I can't even convince him to bring his own water bottle without me reminding him 500 times! 

He is still the sweetest boy ever. And, with Marcus about to start traveling   (he is heading to N.A.D.A. School this year), I'm having a hard time keeping up with him and all of his stuff. (*Fingers Crossed we will have our new big superstore soon!!!*)

We have scaled back our retail operation while my husband and business partner, Marcus, completes General Manager training. Our hope is to have bought or opened a New Car Franchise by 2014. Bob Stallings Auto Group has already put a store under contract. In the meantime, the Used Car Dealership needs to be smaller and more manageable. So, yes, I'm back to doing more locates.

What is a "locate"? It's me being crazy trying to take on the job of finding MORE THINGS for OTHER PEOPLE! Actually, it is fulfilling my passion for finding the best luxury or budget vehicles. When we told our VIP clients that we were not carrying cars in stock anymore most of them were disappointed. Marcus has such a passion and talent for finding the best used cars available. Even though we aren't going to keep our warehouse stocked, we are deciding to keep our resources available to the public. 

Just this week, I was contacted by an old high school friend named "Daniella" asking if I can still help with credit problems. Once we were able to submit her credit application to our Specialized Lenders, we were able to find just the car that she needed. We were able to get her approved on a late model, reputable brand with a manufacturer's warranty and less than 40k MILES! 

This is what makes us different! This is a "locate"! Sure, our specialty is Mercedes Benz AMG, BMW M Series and other unique luxury cars. But, my favorite thing to do in business is to help out friends with financial struggles. How awesome! I know that if "Daniella" went to another dealership or 'tote the note' lot, she either wouldn't be approved or her down payment would have been way too high. We were able to keep her payments around $250 with just $1,000 down!

*The Dirty Deets of Our New Company*

I know some might be visiting this blog just to find out "an inside secret" of what's going on  with our new business. Marcus is in General Management training, working hard for a new manufacturer's dealership. We can't announce anything publicly other than that. In the meantime, we are still open at BobStallingsCars.com. The majority of our retail operations have stopped. But, we are still carrying a small amount of specialty cars in stock. And of course, if you read the above, we are still doing locates. All of our relationships are still in tact with lenders, banks and financial institutions. We are still ready to provide our talents to our clients! As soon as we can say more, we will!
