In this episode of the I’m A Car Chick Podcast, Shasta chats with Lori Berkson, VP of Sales at DealerStream and a powerhouse with more than 30 years of automotive industry experience.
Lori takes listeners through her career journey — from breaking into the industry in the early ’90s after a pivot from fashion, to leadership roles with well-known companies like Visible Customer, VinSolutions, and now DealerStream. She shares stories about the mentors who shaped her path, the lessons learned from building high-performing sales teams, and the strategies she uses to drive growth while keeping people, products, and processes aligned.
They also dive into the upcoming Women In Automotive Conference, why mentorship is critical for industry success, and how women can position themselves for long-term leadership.
