When he’s not doing his best to keep a smile on the faces of his wife and children, Adam Busuttil focuses on getting the same happy response from his customers.
As a car salesman with Harrison Hyundai in Melton, Adam achieves this goal for several reasons.
“I’m honest with my customers and they recognise that I know my product,” he says. “This sets up hassle-free transactions and I believe it’s why my past customers often refer me to others. And that’s a good feeling.”
Adam started his car sales career from a chance meeting with his sales manager, Craig McMennemin.
“I met Craig outside of work and mentioned I was looking for a career change. He asked me if I wanted to give sales a go and it took off from there.
“He’s become my mentor. Because I’m very self-motivated, I never felt the need for one before, but Craig is one of the best teachers in the industry. It’s a pleasure to learn from the best.”
With recent changes in his life, Adam says he’s been able to focus on the job at hand and achieve his goals. He says he enjoys working in an industry that has no typical working week.
“One week you can be flat out with no time to think. The next can leave you wondering what’s changed from the last, but the key is to keep yourself focused.
“In fact, the challenging of converting slow times into busy ones is the thing I most enjoy about my job. It’s all about setting new goals and achieving new benchmarks.”
When he’s not negotiating the best deals for his customers, Adam likes to spend time riding his motorbike and working in the garden.
“I’m very content with my life at the moment. The only thing I’d like to see different is my wife not needing to work so she could spend more time with our kids.
“But I take it one step at a time — and only time will tell where I end up.
“However, I’d like to have the opportunity to become a sales manager some time in the future.”
