Customer Experience

  • Maintain a strong presence on the sales floor and ensure customers receive an exceptional experience.
  • Assist with customer concerns and escalations and work toward timely, professional resolutions.
  • Reinforce strong CRM usage, lead management, appointment-setting, and follow-up practices.
  • Ensure the delivery process provides a positive ownership experience and builds long-term customer relationships.

Financial & Operational Management

  • Monitor daily, weekly, and monthly sales results and adjust strategies as needed.
  • Help manage new vehicle gross profit, volume, expenses, and overall department performance.
  • Review key performance indicators including lead conversion, closing percentages, inventory age, gross profit, and customer satisfaction.
  • Work closely with F&I to maximize dealership profitability while maintaining an ethical and transparent sales process.
  • Ensure dealership policies, manufacturer requirements, and applicable compliance requirements are followed.

What We're Looking For

  • Previous automotive sales management experience required.
  • Proven ability to lead, coach, and develop a successful automotive sales team.
  • Strong understanding of new-vehicle dealership operations and manufacturer programs.
  • Demonstrated ability to achieve sales volume and profitability objectives.
  • Strong deal-structuring, negotiation, and closing skills.
  • Experience managing new-vehicle inventory and aging.
  • Strong understanding of CRM processes, lead management, and dealership sales metrics.
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and customer-service skills.
  • Ability to analyze dealership performance data and make effective business decisions.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
