Michelle Suson, Lexus Customer Turned Star Salesperson

Michelle Suson, Internet Director

Sometimes you like a product so much that you sell it. That is what Michelle Suson did.

Michelle is originally from San Diego. She came to Las Vegas when she was 18 to study journalism/mass communication at UNLV. Her secret plan was to seek independence from her family by moving out on her own away from California, but that plan backfired when her family followed her to Las Vegas. What a surprise.

After college, she worked in sales in the travel agency business, later the casino business. She says that she always drove a Lexus, and one day her Lexus service rep half-jokingly suggested that she apply for a sales position at Lexus, which she did, and the rest is history.

She currently is in internet sales but misses her time spent on the floor talking face to face with customers.

Michelle is a mom with two kids. Her 18-year-old son recently graduated from high school and went straight to the US Navy to be stationed in Japan. She also has a daughter aged 8.

She enjoys cooking and currently is learning to use her new sous vide machine, where food is sealed up in an airtight container or vacuum-sealed bag, then cooked to perfection in temperature-controlled water.

What most people don’t know about her: Michelle says that for some reason she is drawn to psychologically scary movies and she finds the twisted genius of a master criminal (such as Anthony Hopkins in the “Silence of The Lambs”) fascinating.

If Michelle has a secret power it is that she finds it easy to strike up a conversation with people; she is never intimidated with talking even to complete strangers.
