ORLANDO, Fla. – AutoPayPlus by US Equity Advantage, a leading provider of biweekly loan processing for the automotive industry, announced that Hollis Goode has joined the company as national sales director. With 20 years of experience in automotive finance and business development, Hollis joins newly appointed Chief Sales Officer John Stephens to lead the company’s sales force for continued record growth.

Goode previously worked alongside Stephens at Texas-based EFG Companies where his 16-year career most recently included serving as regional vice president where he developed goals, strategic plans and company policies, and assisted in decisions on the direction of multiple companies, including Dealer Services. His career also includes director of finance positions with several dealership groups in Texas.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in Finance from Stephen F. Austin State University where he played 1-AA football as a defensive end.

“Hollis brings to AutoPayPlus a proven talent for building relationships and skill sets with dealers in the field; an ability that will undoubtedly be a huge factor in helping our dealer partners raise their level of performance,” said AutoPayPlus CEO Robert M.
