Announcement from AutoAPR
Hubbell brings more than two decades of automotive digital retailing experience to the role with executive sales leadership positions at DealerSocket, Edmunds and AutobyTel
AutoAPR®, a payment engagement company that reduces friction points by matching virtual payment calculations to a dealer’s inventory, today announced Rob Hubbell has been named as the company’s new Vice President of Sales.
In this role, Hubbell will take his sales expertise in digital retail from former companies the likes of Edmunds, AutobyTel, Autoweb and DealerSocket and build out both the AutoAPR sales team, as well as introduce AutoAPR’s payment engagement solution to a new generation of dealership executives.
“We’re excited to announce Rob as our Vice President of Sales as we continue to build out the AutoAPR network,” said Dan Mayer, CEO of AutoAPR. “As we’ve seen during the pandemic, and now the chip shortage, dealerships are in need of a variety of ways to entice customers to engage, both online and in the store. Our payment engagement solution is a great way to give buyers a non-confrontational view of what they can afford and help dealerships accelerate those sales. Rob will be a key player in the successful rollout and adoption of our payment solution. We’re lucky to have him.”
AutoAPR believes what matters most to seller and buyer is quickly connecting a comfortable monthly payment to a desired vehicle currently in stock. With financial requirements and product availability working hand-in-hand, AutoAPR leads are highly qualified and easier to close, reducing common friction points in the dealership.
“Being in the automotive industry for over 25 years, I have been lucky enough to see the digital market from a multitude of perspectives. I have yet to find a company that I admire as much as AutoAPR, solely due to its incredible innovation,” says Hubbell. “Dan and his team have developed a unique tool to provide car shoppers with everything they need to know about auto finance in one location. They have found a way to bridge the gap between dealers’ websites and digital retail and I could not be more excited to take part. I look forward to utilizing my expertise to help our customers and partners become empowered and succeed more now than ever.”
AutoAPR solutions are used by franchise and independent dealers, as well as RV and Powersports dealers across North America. Industry partners interested in learning more about AutoAPR and its products are encouraged to visit www.autoapr.com.
