"I don't think of what I do as simply selling cars. The results I have today came from working with the mindset that I am selling trust to my customers."

Grand Master is an honor Kia bestows on auto consultants who reach 4,000 cumulative vehicle sales.

Jo joined the company in 1994 and over 32 years averaged 125 vehicles sold per year to reach the milestone. Jo became the 42nd recipient of the Grand Master title.

Kia presented Jo with a commemorative trophy and a vehicle as a reward.

"Selling cars is not just a sales job — it is about forming connections and building lasting trust," Jo said. "I will keep learning and taking on new challenges, and strive to be a salesperson others can look up to."
