David Skeens - July Anniversary Spotlight




Anniversary Spotlight
David Skeens
Lexus of Wayzata

Village Automotive Group is celebrating David Skeen’s 10th year of service with Lexus of Wayzata.

David’s story begins in 2006 when he was given the opportunity to join the sales team at a relatively young age. With his previous experience and the opportunity he was given, he was able to build a successful career in sales. After multiple years as one of the top performers, he became part of the New Car Sales Management team in a position that has an emphasis on training the sales associates in both the new and pre-owned departments. David’s favorite part of the day is usually at the end of his shift because that is when he can look back at all he has accomplished. “Getting to see the guest’s faces when they pick up their new car, there’s nothing like it.”  His best memory thus far was breaking the store record in sales last year which was extremely satisfying after all of the work it took to get there.  

While Village Automotive Group is a big operation, ownership is small and the feel of the organization is small. David explains, “The owners make you feel like you are part of the family first and business second. There is a great level of respect among all of the members of our team. We are a team and there is a theme of positivity, encouragement, and opportunity to grow, which allows us to keep excelling.” David has found the Lexus Covenant not only applies to how each customer is treated, but also to each team member. He explains, “It is a great group to work for and take pride in. They offer great benefits and take good care of us. With time and proven success, there are opportunities for advancement.”

The most impactful training experience for David was shadowing one of the top salesmen. Dave was able to become acclimated to the duties and roles involved in the sales process. “Watching others perform this job is a great way to learn and has helped exponentially. I continue to learn new things that are important factors in my success so far.” 


Village Automotive Group thanks David for his years of service and looks forward to his future with us.
