Ford Lincoln of Ocala & Village Ford CPO Showdown

You could cut the tension in the air with a knife as the competition began when the best of the best went toe to toe in “The CPO Showdown of the Showrooms”. Harrison Kamons, a seasoned sales consultant from Village Ford went up against Ford Lincoln of Ocala’s own Ford Guru Bridget Fagan in a total points contest as to determine who can deliver the most complete Certified Pre-Owned Ford vehicle presentation to a customer.

First up was Harrison, posing as his customer was general manager Scott Reece of Village Ford and Harrison knocked it out of the park hitting every vital bullet point presenting the Ford Certified Pre-owned Mustang to Scott, he was ready to buy. Next up was Bridget presenting to Used Vehicle Manager Rich Stager from Ford Lincoln of Ocala and without missing a beat or removing her sunglasses commenced to presenting the vehicle. When it appeared to be a tie Bridget landed the final blow by introducing the customer to the Lincoln Certified Pre-owned program for the extra point and took the win. Scoring was logged by the sales Operation Zone Manager Angela Sakulidus. Also present to witness the match was Steve Hollosi General Manager of Ford Lincoln of Ocala and Rick Brisson Orlando Regional Manager. Bridget’s now off to compete in the Orlando Citywide Event in August.

MTI Senior Recognition Celebration

Principal James Wohrley hands a certificate of completion to Leah Szeluga as a total of 170 high school students took part in the MTI, Marion Technical Institute's Senior Recognition Celebration Thursday night, May 28, 2015, in Ocala, FL. Morgan Coy-Tozzo sang the National Anthem and Steve Hollosi, general Manager of Ford Lincoln of Ocala was the guest speaker.

A Very High Honor!

A customer in the military was so grateful and happy that Ford of Ocala was able to get him a vehicle and get him financed (he had tried previously and was unsuccessful) that he presented him with one of his badges. He explained that military personnel do this when someone has helped them and made a significant impact on them in some way – perhaps even a civilian assisting them in battle.   Thank you to the team at Ford of Ocala!!

Driven to Give

Ford Lincoln of Ocala proudly hosted a Lincoln “Driven to Give” event on Saturday, April 18th with all proceeds going to benefit Forest High School in Ocala. The school really turned out the guests to test drive new 2015 Lincoln vehicles and for each test drive a twenty dollar donation was made on behalf of Lincoln and Ford Lincoln of Ocala. Hamburgers and hot dogs provided by the dealership supplied the energy to the hardworking students to register each guest, accompany them on the test drive, and conduct a post survey on the guests Lincoln experience. Short of the official total test drive amount the donation will exceed $5,000. Forest High School’s parting words at the end of a long day were “when can we do it again?”
