Brandon Anthony Medford stepping into sales was the result of a series of fortunate events that allowed him to dominate what would become both one of his life’s most fulfilling and lucrative roles.
The story went a little something like this:
One day Brandon went to get his car serviced which at the time was a Infiniti G37 and during the wait is when he received some valuable advice from one of the sales managers at the dealership. He was visibly impressed by Brandon’s aura and conversational skills and suggested he steps foot into sales that he might shine there. Taking the advice that was given, Brandon became an excellent sales professional and used his skills to build an empire that he is extremely proud of.
Born in Brooklyn and raised in Queens, NY, Brandon Anthony Medford achieved great success as a sales professional in the auto industry. Between 2012-2013, he was amongst the top 5 sales professionals for Infiniti in the United States. In 2013 at the age of 21, Brandon became the youngest Finance Manager in the country at Hyundai Motor Company. In 2015, Brandon became the Number 1 finance director of the year in North America and also the youngest at only age 23. In 2017 Brandon founded PTG365 and led the company to become one of the fastest-growing auto brokerages in the world.
Brandon’s love for cars and his drive for entrepreneurship has helped him successfully reach the platform of being able to inspire the youth to chase their dreams and going after whatever they believe they are good at. His Snapchat show “Driven” was the number one show in its niche in 2020. He was also chosen as the commencement speaker for the Williamsburg Charter High School graduation as a token for his gratitude and appreciation towards his community.
Today, Brandon Medford is one of the leading figures in the new wave of creative entrepreneurship. After selling his shares from PTG365 he branched out on his own to start his exclusive automotive retailing service. His charisma allowed him to connect with a wide audience where he was able to build the first one of a kind car dealership, which set the tone for many. He mainly targets customers from their High School graduation up until retirement. Brandon’s portfolio contains clients from different markets, with many high profiled names including; Kanye West, 50 Cent, T.I, Lil’ Durk, Mulatto, Rich the Kid, Gucci Mane and the list goes on.
What sets Mr.Medford apart from other car dealers is his ability to empathize with others and see things from their perspectives too – no matter who they are or what they want to buy. He goes out of his way to find special incentives that would make the purchase of cars more accessible to all different type of clients. For example, he has a program for single mothers that allows them to get a desirable luxury car without having to put their family finances in jeopardy. There are also plans for entrepreneurs, CEOs and even the average American worker.
Continuing his success in the auto business, Brandon Medford will be seen creating one of NYC’s biggest events this upcoming fall called “CulturePreneur”, where he will be bringing Culture and Entrepreneurship together. During this event he will share what inspires and motivates him about the combination of culture and entrepreneurship, so that his attendees can fully understand the drive behind why he does what he does. His initial goal is to continue staying in touch with the needs and expectations for all his clients and deliver the phenomenal service and experience that his company is known for.
Ambitious is one of the many words to properly describe Brandon. He knows what he wants and is known for putting in 110% towards projects that are important to him. In the works is an all-digital platform that allows customers to buy a vehicle from start to finish in under 20 minutes, that he is hoping to launch very soon. It’s beyond inspiring how much passion Brandon has for his work and we’re sure that it will reflect on the final outcome as well as inspire us along the way.
