Employee Spotlight - October 2011A little over a year ago, Handy Toyota of St. Albans, VT lost one of our best Internet sales consultants, but as she says, it was the best year of her life. Because Chelsey Howard, this month's employee spotlight, left the Handy Toyota crew to take on one of the biggest, most rewarding challenges any person can: she brought her first child into this world.
After learning how to deal with a new baby boy - this was Chelsey's first, as mentioned - she is now back in the proverbial saddle and ready to do what she does best for the team: get customers in St. Albans, Burlington, and Plattsburgh into the new Toyota vehicle or used car of their dreams without ever having to leave the comfort of their home, office, or wherever else you shop online at handytoyota.com.
Not counting the year Chelsey was gone for child rearing, she has been a staple of this organization for over 10 months. What does that mean exactly? Well at roughly 300 emails per day at an estimated 200 days worked, that equates to well over 60,000 emails and thus potential customers having heard from Handy Toyota thanks to Chelsey's efforts.

Born in 1990, the 21-year old internet sales specialist is a native Vermonter and lifelong Fairfield, VT resident. Unlike many at this company, she hasn't had various jobs; with her proficiency in all things office and computer related and the aforementioned innate skill with a keyboard (and the overrated in today's world 100% accuracy thereon), Handy Toyota of St. Albans, VT's Burlington area Toyota customers do not go wanting for long.
When she isn't at work, Chelsey can be found with her son at home, shopping, or enjoying fine dining. Though currently a Toyota Corolla owner, she hopes to one day own a Toyota new Toyota 4Runner or Lexus IS 250 AWD. As for which vehicle she is most like, she tells us it's undoubtedly her Corolla Sport. "It's sporty yet efficient, and I think that pretty much sums me up!" she says.
