Welcome to the Employee Spotlight! Every month we focus on a ProMax team member- what they do here to help your dealership succeed AND a little about them personally as well. This month the spotlight is on Dealer Group Support Specialist Sarah Prochaska.
Describe what you do at ProMax and how it impacts our clients.
I am a Dealer Group Support Specialist. We check in with the dealerships regularly to help show them how to use the system to the fullest so they can streamline processes, better manage their employees, bring in more customers, and generate profit.
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
Being a part of helping dealerships grow their business.
What do you enjoy doing most outside of work?
Hanging out with my family, traveling, cooking, listening to music, and watching sporting events.
What is your favorite line from a movie?
"You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." – Rocky Balboa
If you could learn to do anything new, what would it be?
I would like to learn how to play the piano.
What are 3 words you’d use to describe working at ProMax?
Who would play you in a movie about your life, and what would the title of the movie be?
Leslie Mann and it would be called My Beautiful Mess. I am that positive, goofy mom who is not so great at keeping up with laundry or getting her kids to their functions on time but ask my beautiful babies if they know they are loved and they will say yes undoubtedly.
At what age did you become an adult, and how did you know it happened?
I had a lot of adult-like moments prior to this but I feel like this was the defining moment... I was 27 and discovered that I was going to be a mom. My priorities changed drastically and I become more fiscally responsible. It became all about my baby and what was best for her.
What 3 traits define you?
Honest, loyal, and optimistic

Give your all and don’t be afraid to ask questions.
What does true leadership mean to you?
Leading by example. I always tell my kids actions speak louder than words.
What inspires you?
My kids. They inspire me to be better every day.
If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?
To be able to speak every language in the world.
What are you looking forward to most this year?
Going to sporting events and concerts.

Welcome to the Employee Spotlight! Every month we focus on a ProMax team member- what they do here to help your dealership succeed AND a little about them personally as well. This month the spotlight is on Web Developer Sam Beals.
Describe what you do at ProMax and how it impact our clients.
I am a web developer here at ProMax, so I get to work on our web applications such as ProMax Mobile and hosted websites. I get to really be all over the place, from the front end to the databases to various APIs and everything in between, which keeps me on my toes and keeps things fresh and exciting.
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
Whether it’s making something completely new or trying to find a tiny bug in something made long ago, the feeling of getting from “How the heck am I going to do this?” to “Hey, I’ve got this all figured out now” is really great.
What do you enjoy doing most outside of work?
I am a fan of Detroit sports (unfortunately), listening to music, playing basketball, camping, and cooking. I am one of those old people that goes back to school, so when I’m not at work I’m usually doing something for that.
What is your favorite line from a movie?
“I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.” – The Departed
If you could learn to do anything new, what would it be?
I wish I knew some sort of musical instrument as a creative outlet, mainly either guitar or piano.
What are 3 words you’d use to describe working at ProMax?
Problem solving always.
Who would play you in a movie about your life, and what would the title of the movie be?
I think probably Jason Momoa would do a pretty accurate depiction; the movie would be a mystery/thriller called something like Internal Server Error or File Not Found.
At what age did you become an adult, and how did you know it happened?
Probably when I had to start doing my own taxes in my early 20s. My dad used to do them for me on TurboTax but one year I had two different W-2’s and that was the end of the line.
What 3 traits define you?
Awareness, humor, pragmatism.
What would you most like to tell yourself at age 13?
Embrace failure early and often, take risks, get out of your comfort zone, don’t stay up so late.
Tell us something about yourself that would surprise us.
I can recite the alphabet backwards.
What advice would you give to recent new hires?
Ask as many questions as you feel you need to- people with experience will always be willing to help you out.

Assuming the responsibility to keep everyone on the same page, making the effort to clearly communicate, taking the time to really understand whatever is going on, holding people accountable.
What inspires you?
Anything accomplished with consistent effort over a long periods of time.
If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?
Telepathy- to see what people are really think
