He worked as a vehicle salesman at Prinsloo and Nash Nissan Sandton. He moved to the family dealership in Lichtenburg, which he expanded to include both a Hyundai dealership as well as the original Nissan dealership. He also opened the Nissan and Hyundai Mahikeng and Hyundai Vryburg dealerships.

Du Toit views every delivery in the motor vehicle trade as an achievement, but he has also received industry recognition in various ways. He has been awarded as Dealer of the Year by Nissan and Hyundai for numerous years and was elected by his peers to serve on the Nissan/ Renault dealer councils.

Du Toit's strong suits include negotiating, customer service and getting employees to enjoy their work. Starting businesses and seeing them grow continues to drive him. From his own experience of trying to get pricing from different dealers and trying to negotiate with inexperienced staff who do not know their products or people without negotiating power, Du Toit realised that there had to be an easier way to do business.

He then founded Beat The Price, the only online service in South Africa where reputable dealers bid against each other to offer the lowest price on a new car of the buyer's choice. The service then matches that buyer with the winning dealer, and the sale is concluded, saving everyone valuable time.

Du Toit is now helping and motivating new members of the Beat The Price dealer network to embrace this new opportunity which he believes will make a big impact and benefit all involved. His vision is to grow Beat The Price into an international brand.

In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and twin daughters, having good food and
wine. He also loves travelling, particularly internationally and spending time outdoors, often fishing.
