Putting a smile on each client’s face is what keeps this Action Auto leader motivated.

As the top salesman at Action Auto’s Columbus location, Trevor Taylor has seen first-hand the positive, life-changing impact that his line of work has on those in his community.

“In our business, we work with people that come to us as their last hope,” he says. “Everybody has turned them down, and I can reassure them that it’s not a problem. We always guarantee approval.”

Giving someone the power to get to work, drop their kids off at school, or drive to the grocery store is an empowering experience, one that Taylor is passionate about.

“It feels good to see our clients smile and be so happy. Having a vehicle is important for day-to-day life, and it is rewarding to help someone get that access despite their financial hardships,” Taylor says.

When Taylor isn’t making a sale, he’s normally occupied as the store’s sales manager, which entails keeping up to date with the daily activities of the lot. Taylor is responsible for logging calls, following up with appointments and ensuring each vehicle is accounted for and clean.

“The small details help each client feel cared for and reassured while they make a big decision,” he says.

Taylor’s commitment to changing people’s lives doesn’t end at just the lot. He is active with his home church in Starkville and has set up an Action Auto sponsorship for a local little league team, which has been extremely rewarding for Trevor in his commitment to giving back and being involved with his community.

Aside from car sales and community involvement, Taylor enjoys spending time outdoors in his hometown of Starkville, Miss., with his 10-year-old daughter, Skylar. Skylar was born on St. Patrick’s Day and Taylor considers her his lucky charm.
