Video, texting and engagement leader TruVideo announced due to tremendous growth, industry veteran Mike Boyle has joined the team as Director of North American Automotive Sales.
In his new role, Boyle will immediately begin building out TruVideo’s direct-to-dealer sales team, establishing greater revenue growth and market share within the US and Canadian markets, and will be heavily involved in TruVideo’s go-to-market strategy and channel partnerships.
No stranger to automotive, or the challenges and opportunities the industry faces today, Boyle previously held several leadership positions at CarGurus, most recently serving as Senior Sales Manager. During his seven years with CarGurus, Boyle co-led both their franchise acquisitions team and their co-op team. This experience enabled him to help dealerships utilize their co-op budgets to subsidize their investments and maximize ROI.
“While at CarGurus I had the privilege of speaking and interacting with dealerships every day and if there is a key phrase that can sum up the next evolution of our industry, it’s customer retention,” said Boyle. “The more transparent we can be with our customers and the more trust we can bring into the process, the more wins we have across the board. TruVideo helps facilitate customer trust and I’m excited to show our partners how it can impact their bottom line.”
