Gilbert has the rare distinction of being successful in
multiple markets. He has excelled in small rural communities and large metropolitan
markets. Moreover, Gilbert has turned around tiny single point stores and huge
mega dealerships. “When you put in the correct process, the size of the town,
the city or the dealership doesn’t matter.”
“Nothing substitutes for hard work and determination, but building the
correct foundation to grease the skids sure makes it a lot easier once the
correct process is put in place.”
A former U.S. Army Infantry Officer, Company Commander, Paratrooper, Mr. Chavez has served as the Chief Operating Officer for the Krumland Auto Group, as the General Manager of the Burt Automotive Network, and most recently as the E-Marketing Director for the Phil Long Dealerships, the largest privately owned dealer group in Colorado. “My job is to surround dealers with amazing technology and with the brightest and most forward thinking car salespeople I can find." I have worked in every sales role that a car dealer has and have been exceedingly successful at every level."
Gilbert has acted as adviser to America Online's, Digital City Denver, Dealix Corporation, and many other distinguished organizations.
