She Bought Three Cars From Me—Here’s Why with Landon Garside

In this heartfelt and inspiring episode of ASOTU Unscripted, host Errol Bomar sits down with Landon Garside, a former high school drumline teacher turned automotive professional and now marketing strategist. Landon shares how personal transitions—including a divorce and career burnout—led him into the automotive industry by what seemed like chance. But a decade-old positive buying experience at a dealership planted the seed, and a people-centered mindset ultimately propelled him forward. From sales to marketing, Landon's journey is all about doing what's right—even when it isn’t profitable in the moment.STAY CONNECTED WITH ASOTU:Sign up for the ASOTU Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/Watch the docu-series “More Than Cars” at https://www.morethancars.tvFollow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/asotu_morethancars/Join the community on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/TIME STAMPS: 0:00 Intro1:01 Landon's entry into automotive after burnout and divorce2:16 Buying experience inspired dealership job application3:37 A pivot back into sales after leaving briefly4:52 Putting people over profit—literally sent a customer elsewhere5:50 “She bought her next three cars from me.”6:55 Marketing shift after dealership merchandising vacancy7:24 Strategies that helped dominate market share----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------How did Landon Garside transition from sales to marketing in automotive?Why is empathy a strength in car sales and dealership leadership?What’s an example of putting customers first in the automotive industry?How do TikTok and social media boost dealership market share?Why does understanding people matter more than product knowledge in sales?How can storytelling lead to career success in auto retail?What makes ASOTU different from other automotive events?
