Rudy Padilla talks about Impact of UNLEASHED on Podcast
From an early age, Rudy Padilla, now Used Car Director at Berkeley Toyota, recognized the importance of building relationships and networking. Early in his career, he earned the nickname DTK, or Dealer Trade King, for his skill in establishing strong connections with other dealers to facilitate car trades.
Rudy’s dedication to customer service is unwavering. Whether his clients are buying cars or houses, his focus remains on providing them with the best experience and cultivating lasting relationships.
In November 2023, Rudy attended UNLEASHED, the VINCUE dealer conference in Kansas City. His participation was nearly derailed by a tragedy at his store, but he made it to the conference, where he met three individuals who profoundly influenced his personal and professional life: Glenn Lundy, Danelle Delgado, and Bill Donius. Their impact on Rudy’s outlook is profound, and his story is a testament to the power of connection and resilience.
He says UNLEASHED is also pivotal for success with VINCUE. It helped him go beyond just knowing and using the software to “wake up” to the true value behind the system. Thanks to UNLEASHED, he has continued to expand his use of VINCUE in his dealership and find new ways to buy and sell.
