The posting
You are the best server on the Friday shift, the phone-store rep who hits quota by the 20th, the furniture closer capped at $50K, or the car salesperson buried on a 12-person floor with thin inventory and a pay plan that changes every January. Jim Taylor Auto Group has two ways into this job and we are honest about both. EXPERIENCED CLOSERS: bring your numbers and we will show you ours — three stores, three brands, real lead volume, a desk that wants to say yes, and a pay plan in writing. NEW TO THE BUSINESS: we hire attitude and work ethic a few times a year into a development track with a trainer, a mentor, and a salary while you learn — but you will be screened hard for hustle. Tell us your track up front; pretending to be the other one wastes everyone's time.
Pay, in plain English: $2,500 a month salary, every month, plus commission per unit starting at your 5th unit — and the per-unit amount climbs as you sell more. At 10 units in a month you earn about $4,900 ($58,800 a year pace). At 15 units, about $7,900 ($94,800 pace). At 20 units, about $12,400 ($148,800 pace). On top of that: $50 for every financed deal and $50 for every LDS warranty from your 5th unit on, a $500 fast-start bonus for 6 units by the 12th, and Salesperson of the Month pays $400 (first) and $200 (second). Plan in writing before you start.
