    Acura Council Of Sales Excellence Gold Level 2009 & 2010

    My name is Trevor Kesler and I would like to take a few miniutes of your time to tell you about myself. I am going on my fifth year here at King Acura and am grateful to work for a company that focuses on what's important (not meeting, but EXCEEDING all of your expectations). Over the past few years with King Acura I have had the honor to be recognized as Salesman of the Year for 2008, 2009, and 2010. I achevied Council of Sales Excellence Gold level in 2009, and 2010. This prestigious award is only given by Acura to those Sales Consultants who consistently deliver a level of Sales Excellence that exceeds customer expectations and are among the Top  Sales Performers in the Nation) I have had the opportunity to represent King Acura in a national Walk Around Sales Competition, and most importantly, I have earned the trust of over 1,000 families by listening, paying attention to detail, being courteous, informative, honest, always available but not oppressive, and ensuring that all of thier needs have been met. Going forward I am looking forward to my new role as the Pre-Owned Sales Manager and continuing to exceed and surpass all customer expectations!

    I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Kristal for just over 8 years now. We have two animals, a nineteen pound orange tabby cat named Socks and a miniture long haired dachshund named Rocky. After graduation, I started a career in the United States Air Force. My career field was Security Forces which consisted of several skills and responsibilities (Air Base defense, Law Enforcement, Military Working Dog, and Combat Arms to name a few). I served 4 years on active duty and 4 years in the Air Force Reserve.  I do miss it from time to time, but I am glad that I decided not to re-enlist because the deployment cycles were getting out of hand. I was deployed about 6 months of every year and involved in training away from home for another 30-60 days of the year. 
    Although I grew up in Enterprise, Alabama, I now call Helena my home. i enjoy golfing, fishing, going to the gym, and attending services at Church of the Highlands. My role model is my Grandfather who owned a Dealership for many years and taught me the sucessful work ethic I practice today. I strongly feel that King Acura  is the Top Acura Dealership in the State of Alabama! So when you or somebody you know is in the market for a new or Pre-owned automobile, please don't hesitate to give me a call or send me an e-mail.

I look forward to having the opportunity to help you with your new or pre-owned purchase.

    ?It was my 5th car purchase and by far the best experience I ever had. Jefferson Hunt should be commended on how professional and nice he was throughout the whole experience. Reed Lyles went above and beyond his duties to help me get into the car I wanted. I was so impressed with the experience that I will let all my friends know about whom they should contact when they are ready to purchase a car.?
