Buckeye Dealership Consulting welcomed its newest teammate this week.

The provider of reinsurance services, education and consulting, and performance groups for independent dealers named Stephen Carter as a new sales representative.

Buckeye said through a news release that Carter will work closely with independent dealers across the country, with a primary focus on dealers in Texas and surrounding states.

Carter will also attend industry events tailored to the used-vehicle industry.

“Stephen brings a deep well of knowledge and expertise to our team,” Buckeye executive vice president Shaun Petersen said in the news release. “He understands the nuances buy-here, pay-here dealers face in running their businesses and is uniquely able to assist them in maximizing the benefits of a custom reinsurance program.”

Carter has nearly a decade’s worth of experience as a licensed insurance agent, helping clients protect assets and manage claims. He has also worked as a senior sales executive with a payment kiosk technology firm serving BHPH dealers and municipal entities.

“I am honored to join the dedicated staff of professionals at Buckeye Dealership Consulting,” Carter said. “The company’s products and services mesh well with my sales and insurance expertise, and its focus on customer satisfaction is second to none. I look forward to putting my experience to work for such a great company.”
