Meet Chris Terrell

Chris Terrell, sales manager at Holler Hyundai, had challenges starting out in the car business, but since the lightbulb clicked on, he has had nothing but success. In the early 1990s, Chris needed to make a change in his career. He had spent years selling upscale shoes, and the boutique shoe stores were starting to shut down. Many of his clients were dealership employees, several of whom said he would be good in the car business. Chris decided to give it a try. While he struggled through the first year, he has been successful ever since. Chris is originally from Jacksonville, and life has taken him many places. Before working in the car industry, he served in the US Army. For the past 26 years, Chris has worked in various places in automotive roles. He spent a couple years training on best practices at different dealerships around the country. Then, 18 years ago, he joined the Holler-Classic family. He is currently in his 12 th year as a sales manager at Holler Hyundai, a role he takes pride in that is helping him train the next generation of leaders. Being able to guide, push, encourage, and educate employees motivates him to work hard in his role. The next big goal is to increase diversity in the industry and company. When Chris started in the car business, it was unusual for anyone who graduated college to even consider an automotive career. Now, more non-traditional people are joining the team, and he feels they are more open to trying because of the positive, open environment he has helped create. “Everyone fits. Everyone has a role to play,” Chris said. “We can be more successful as a group with more diversity.” For anyone looking to get into the car business, Chris stresses the importance of becoming brilliant in the basics. Learning the fundamentals is important, and wanting to serve others is what helps people thrive. The Holler-Classic company has shown that it really cares about customers by empowering employees to treat customers right. “Some companies give lip service to caring about customers,” Chris said. “The Holler organization really means it.” While Chris puts his all into his role as a sales manager at Holler Hyundai, he finds time outside of work to be active in his community. He spends a lot of his free time at community events with his church and masonic family. His proudest accomplishment is having raised four great adults who are doing phenomenal things. Overall, Chris works hard every day to be a strong leader who inspires the next generation of leaders.

Meet Ramon Del Fresno

Ramon Del Fresno moved to Florida from Puerto Rico in 2017 with his family, who he works hard to support every day. In 2017, Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, and Ramon knew the best move was to relocate. Already having automotive experience, he quickly found a job at a dealership in Central Florida. At the first dealership he found, the constant back-and-forth haggling created a stressful environment. Ramon knew he belonged in the automotive business, but he wanted to work at a place where everyone received fair treatment. Through the secretary at his son’s school, Ramon met a sales manager from Holler Hyundai, who referred him to the sales position at the dealership. While living in Puerto Rico, Ramon worked at a Hyundai dealership, so he already had experience and product knowledge that would help him thrive. more At the time, Ramon did not speak much English, and the staff at Holler Hyundai gave him an opportunity to learn as he worked. This is what stood out the most to Ramon. The staff at Holler Hyundai was willing to help him and help customers in a different way than he had ever seen. At Holler Hyundai, sales representatives are honest with customers by design. From the initial greeting, known as a concept statement, customers know to expect upfront pricing, a commission-free sales process, and a money-back guarantee. This environment is a perfect fit for Ramon, whose passion is helping people. He always enjoys seeing customers smile when they find the perfect car. “Here, you don’t just have a salesman; you have a friend,” Ramon said. Ramon aspires to become a top performing sales representative at Holler Hyundai, where he has now worked for about 2 years. He is happy in his current position, where he can help customers and support his family at home. This career has served him well, and he plans to stick around. “My goal is to be here for a really long time.”

Meet Paul Ortiz

Paul Ortiz started out hesitant about pursuing a sales career, but 5 years in, he is glad he chose this path. Originally from Puerto Rico, Paul moved to Florida with his parents when he was a teenager. Before his career began at Holler Hyundai, Paul worked in every part of restaurants, from cooking to serving. Then one day, his father-in-law saw the opening at Holler Hyundai and encouraged him to go for it. With the reputation car sales tends to have, he resisted at first but ultimately decided to apply. That was when his career as a sales representative began. Being on a commission-free sales team has proven to be a perfect fit for Paul. Everyone at the dealership gets along well, and he and his coworkers have good chemistry. Along with the positive work environment, Paul finds it appealing that he makes more money the harder he works. From what he has seen, the work puts in has a direct correlation with the money he makes. He says his parents instilled a strong work ethic in him. “I may not be the smartest worker, but I’m a hard worker,” Paul said. Paul’s family motivates him to keep working hard. Starting a family and having a great relationship with his wife are Paul’s proudest accomplishments. Because of this job, he has been able to build a good life for them. He looks forward to continuing to grow as a person inside and outside of work. His main goal is to be the best person he can be, rather than buying a big house or fancy car. “Material things come and go. Who I am as a person is more important,” Paul said. One day, Paul would like to work to live, rather than living to work. Little by little, this career path is helping him realize that dream.

Meet Jose "Figgs" Figueroa

Jose Figueroa, better known as “Figgs” by his Holler Hyundai family, finds that his workplace is like a home away from home. Originally from Puerto Rico, Jose moved in search of opportunity. The first opportunity he found was a security job in Kentucky, which was not a great fit for him. Soon after, he moved to Florida, where he found his niche in the automotive business. more Before finding his home at Holler Hyundai, Jose worked at another Central Florida dealership. There, he met Ramon, who applied at Holler Hyundai after meeting one of the sales managers. Soon after Ramon started at the dealership, Jose followed. “There is no comparison between the old school approach and the Buy Smart – Be Happy process,” Jose said. At Holler Hyundai, Jose has had entire families buy cars from him, with some buying multiple vehicles. In two and a half years, this career has allowed him to improve his life. He has gone from an old car to a new car, from a starter apartment to a much nicer one. For anyone looking to start an automotive career, Jose’s advice is to believe in the product and yourself. Jose is excited to come to work every day because he believes in the quality of Hyundai products. Over the years, the brand has worked to build on safety and reliability, and Hyundai cars now offer competitive technology at competitive prices. “If you believe in a product, it’s easy to sell,” Jose said. Working at a small dealership, Jose sees his coworkers as more of a second family. Motivated by his ability to help customers on a personal level, work in a pressure-free environment, and sell great products, Jose finds it easy to get out of bed and go to work every day.

He is proud of what he has accomplished at such a young age, and he looks forward to taking his life and career to the next level.

Hyundai Alternative Fuel Options in Winter Park

In today's world, we are highly informed about just how harmful utilizing fossil fuels can be to the environment. We also know that people need to get to work, school, and so many other places, which means we need vehicles. Science and engineers work together constantly to redesign motor vehicles into either hybrid, electric-powered, or even run on bio-diesel fuel. more The engineers at Hyundai are consistently working to bring its customers a vehicle that is safe for the environment while daring to prevent sacrificing power to get you where you need to go quickly and safely. Why Should the Average Consumer Care about an Alternative Fuel Vehicle? Climate change is an issue that affects us all. We know that glaciers in the Arctic Ocean are melting, ocean waters are rising, and we know that more natural disasters, such as hurricanes, are taking place due to environmental factors. However, this isn't the only reason that we should be concerned about the manufacturing of alternative fuel operating vehicles. There are actually some pertinent factors as to why every consumer should be excited about the prospect of utilizing an alternative fuel vehicle. First, one way that alternative fuel vehicles can have an effect on the average consumer is the fact that the driver will definitely see a savings in their personal fuel costs. Keep in mind that fuel prices have changed drastically over the last ten to fifteen years, and this trend will likely continue. Gas prices change due to the overall economy, but they can also change when summer arrives and "travel season" begins. Should the economy slouch, oil prices may fall as well. However, when the economy begins to resurge - and it usually does - those low gas prices won't last for long. However, when you choose an alternative fuel vehicle, then you can see a consistent reduction in your fuel cost. This reduction will give you consistent savings over not just a period of months but years. Next, driving an alternative fuel car will help you to do your part in minimizing your carbon footprint and preventing pollution. Less carbon in the atmosphere slows down the erosion of the ozone layer, and it also provides better quality of air to breathe for each of us. What are Some Methods of Alternative Fuel for Vehicles? There are many different methods of alternative fuel for vehicles. They include cars powered by electricity, those powered by a mixture of electric power and fossil fuels, those that are powered by biodiesel, or hydrogen, or natural gas. For the purposes of this article, however, we are going to study fuel cells, hybrid cars, and electric cars. Electric Vehicles The United States Department of Energy holds that four out of every five stations across the country are set up as alternative fuel stations providing power for electric cars. An electric car garners energy from, not the combustible engine of the gas-powered car, but from a battery that is designed to slowly put out energy as the vehicle is in use. While a chief complaint of those with an electric car claim that the car offers lackluster power, Hyundai engineers have been consistently refining the electric car to ameliorate this issue. Furthermore, electric cars do not produce any type of emissions, which is the chief cause of air pollution associated with a gas burning vehicle. Electric cars are easy to replenish with "fuel." One simply plugs the vehicle's charging port into an alternative fuel station or even at a home-based charging station in order to recharge. Hybrid Vehicles Today, there are at least forty different kinds of gas and electric hybrid cars available in the United States. Hyundai offers seven of them! The hybrid vehicle works by supplying both electricity to partially power the vehicle as well as uses the most efficient method of a combustible engine. The hybrid car uses the battery to provide power when the car starts and stops, and it also provides power when the car is at low speeds (such as one would be driving through Orlando). These cars do NOT need to be plugged in and charged. The Plug-in Hybrid The Plug-in hybrid works much like the aforementioned hybrid, but the plug-in hybrid possesses a larger battery that will allow the car to go longer distances solely using electricity. These cars guarantee zero emissions, but only four of these are in use in the United States as of this writing. Fuel-Cell Powered Vehicle At this time, the fuel cell-powered vehicle is one that is still in the design stage. The fuel cell vehicle will be powered by hydrogen, which burns cleanly, but can be very dangerous if not used properly. Furthermore, the cost to produce hydrogen fueling stations and the fuel cells themselves is quite cost-prohibitive at the moment. Hyundai produces seven alternative energy vehicles available in the Longwood area, and they include the following: Ioniq Hybrid Sonata Hybrid Sonata Plug-in Hybrid Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid Ioniq Electric Kona Electric Nexo Fuel Cell Schedule Your Test Drive In An Alternative Fuel Hyundai in Winter Park Interested in the Hyundai line of alternative fuel vehicles?
