xoNecole had the opportunity to speak with Eric and Dave about their business, how to gain more profits, and how passion led them to their purpose.
Business-minded people tend to have one thing in common: a vision. For Eric and Dave, both already had a passion for the car business. Eric says that in addition to his affinity for sales, he also wanted to help people. Eric told xoNecole, “I personally would say passion, hunger, and unity started PTG365. [The three of us] were successful in the same field and we came together with this brilliant idea to take over the car industry and help individuals all over the world.”
The most intriguing service these men provide is their willingness to use their expertise and connections to help single mothers secure their own reliable transportation. Because the men aren’t from single parent homes, many would wonder what motivated them to go in this direction. For Eric, it was simple. “I don’t like the idea of a mother raising children on her own,” he shares. “I have female relatives who are single and raising beautiful children, so I know the day-to-day struggles some of them face, so I do what I can to go the extra mile to assist single female parents.”
In addition to helping single mothers secure reliable transportation, Eric and Dave also pay attention to the details of the vehicles they sell. For instance, they understand that a car’s interior can make or break a deal, especially for families. With the rising popularity of electric vehicles, they have even taken note of the tesla model y interior, which offers ample space and modern features for families on the go. By paying attention to the needs of their customers, including the unique needs of single mothers, Eric and Dave have found success not only in selling cars but also in making a positive impact on their community.
So many single parents work so hard to keep it all together, that from the outside looking in, it may not seem like they need the help. But Dave recognizes that there is a lot that goes into being a single mother and that helping these women gives him a feeling that he normally wouldn’t get from simply selling cars. He said, “Helping single mothers get into vehicles gave us a different kind of satisfaction. The reason being, single mothers go through a lot of turmoil and need as much help as possible.”
He continued, “Black women are queens in my eyes. I watched my mother raise me, two other kings and one other queen. Being from a foreign country, she did it all using her culture. My mom made sure we were on the right track with school and always stayed out of trouble. She did an amazing job; I love my mother. She reminds me of all the other Black women out there trying to make a way for their families.”
