America’s Auto Auction has promoted Jordan Clark to fleet/lease manager at America’s Auto Auction Bowling Green.

America’s Auto Auction senior vice president Brian Thomas said Clark did well in helping the Bowling Green auction’s clients get through the challenges of remarketing vehicles during the pandemic.

Clark, who has worked at the Bowling Green facility since 2014, has been a member of the auction industry since starting with ABC Detroit/Toledo in 2011 as a part-time clerk scanning titles.

After just two weeks at ABC, he accepted a full-time post as a CR writer even though he said he knew little about cars. The company named him head CR writer within 18 months, in charge of redemptions.

Clark said that during the training period for that position he learned skills that would allow him to help wherever he was needed, and to step in for fellow employees when they were absent. He went on to add experience in posting charges, submitting reports to clients, assisting dealers with paperwork and working as a block clerk.

All of that prepared him for work in the fleet/lease department.

ABC Bowling Green in 2014 asked Clark to help out as the auction prepared for a major new account.  After a week of helping in that area, the general manager asked him to stay on, and today he is the longest-tenured full-time employee at America’s Auto Auction Bowling Green.

“Jordan is the kind of person everyone depends on, employees and clients alike,” auction general manager Mike Goodsell said in a news release.

Goodsell also said, “He’s honest, works wells with customers, is very knowledgeable and is always willing to do what it takes to get the job done: from checking in cars, detailing vehicles, taking photos and handling CRs to following up with sales results to the customers. He is a great choice for fleet/lease manager here at Bowling Green.”

Clark said moving from a Friday title-scanner to fleet/lease manager is a huge jump.

“But all the steps I took along the way helped me grow and succeed,” Clark said.

He also said, “I’ve been privileged to work with many great mentors along the way who have helped guide and direct me on this journey.  We’ve built great relationships with our accounts at Bowling Green, and we’re poised to add more. I’m excited to lead the fleet/lease department as we gain even more momentum and build a process that will encourage sustainable growth.”
