The posting

A Business Development Representative (BDR) at an auto dealership (also commonly called a BDC Representative, where BDC stands for Business Development Center) plays a key role in generating and managing leads to drive sales and service traffic. This is typically an entry-level or support sales position focused on communication, appointment setting, and customer engagement rather than closing deals on the showroom floor.The role bridges digital/inbound inquiries and the sales or service teams, often handling high volumes of phone, email, text, and online interactions in a fast-paced dealership environment.Key Responsibilities

  • Handle inbound leads and inquiries (phone calls, internet leads from the dealership website, emails, texts, chat, and social media).
  • Perform outbound calls, follow-ups, and prospecting to contact potential customers, previous buyers, lease-end clients, or service reminders.
  • Qualify leads by discussing customer needs, vehicle interests, budget, and timing.
  • Set, confirm, and reschedule sales or service appointments for the sales team, finance, or service advisors.
  • Follow up on leads to nurture relationships, re-engage no-shows, and maintain customer satisfaction.
  • Update and maintain accurate records in the dealership's CRM system (e.g., tracking interactions, lead status, and notes).
  • Respond quickly and professionally to all customer communications to ensure a positive first impression.
  • Stay informed about current inventory, promotions, vehicle features, pricing, and dealership services.
  • Collaborate with sales, service, and management teams to hand off qualified opportunities.
  • Occasionally support additional tasks like updating online inventory listings or handling basic customer questions.

Required Skills and Qualifications

  • Strong communication skills (clear speaking voice, active listening, persuasive phone etiquette).
  • Excellent customer service orientation with a friendly, professional, and enthusiastic demeanor.
  • Ability to multitask in a high-volume, fast-paced call-center-like environment.
  • Basic computer proficiency (CRM software, email, MS Office, dealership management systems).
  • Self-motivated, goal-oriented, and resilient to rejection (outbound calling can be repetitive).
  • Previous experience in sales, customer service, call centers, or automotive is preferred but often not required for entry-level roles.
  • High school diploma or equivalent; some dealerships value outgoing personality over formal education.
  • Availability for flexible hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays (common in retail auto).

Typical CompensationCompensation often includes:

  • Hourly base pay (e.g., $15–$25/hour depending on location and experience).
  • Commissions or bonuses based on appointments set, shows kept, or sales generated from leads.
  • Benefits like health insurance, 401(k), paid time off, and employee discounts on vehicles/services.

This role serves as a strong entry point into automotive sales, with many BDRs advancing to Sales Consultant, Service Advisor, or other positions. Dealerships emphasize performance metrics like call volume, appointment show rate, and lead conversion.If you're applying or hiring for this position, tailor the description to your specific dealership's brand, volume, and focus (e.g., new vs. used cars, sales vs. service emphasis).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
