Broaden your horizons past auto dealers. Your parts and sales experience is relevant to heavy equipment, mining, agricultural equipment, you name it. Work hard and become the best at what you do. When you’re ready, pick a niche, get on with a vendor in that sector, and continue to work hard. Don’t think yourself deserving of more, don’t complain, don’t behave as if you’re entitled. Be humble and exceed expectations. And I promise you’ll climb any ladder you choose.

Hello Everyone,

I have been working as an Associate PO for over 1 year now and would like to understand how do I better myself at the job role. Are there any specific certifications or courses that I should look forward to completing to get a better edge. Also would like to know what could the future hold from here (potential roles, jobs, etc.).

Any help would be appreciated.
