About the Role

Tom Wood Volkswagen is looking for an experienced, driven New Car Sales Manager to lead our new-vehicle sales operation. We are seeking a hands-on leader who knows how to develop a sales team, drive volume and profitability, manage inventory effectively, and create an exceptional customer experience.

This is not a desk-only management position. The New Car Sales Manager will be actively involved in the sales process, working deals, coaching Sales Consultants, monitoring performance, and partnering with the General Manager and F&I team to achieve dealership goals. This hands-on management approach is consistent with Tom Wood's existing Sales Manager expectations.

What You'll Do

Sales Leadership & Performance

  • Lead, coach, train, and motivate the new car sales team to achieve monthly and annual sales objectives.
  • Establish clear expectations for sales activity, lead follow-up, closing ratios, customer experience, and overall performance.
  • Work directly with Sales Consultants to structure and close deals while maintaining appropriate gross profit.
  • Conduct regular sales meetings, one-on-one coaching, and performance discussions.
  • Develop team members and create a high-performance, accountable sales culture.
  • Partner with the General Manager and F&I department to achieve dealership volume and profitability goals.

New Vehicle Inventory Management

  • Manage new Volkswagen inventory to maintain the appropriate mix of models, trims, colors, and equipment.
  • Monitor aging inventory and develop strategies to improve inventory turn.
  • Work with dealership leadership on vehicle ordering and allocation.
  • Ensure vehicles are properly merchandised, priced, and ready for sale.
  • Monitor market conditions, competitor pricing, incentives, and Volkswagen programs to maximize sales opportunities.

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.
  • Volkswagen or import-brand experience is preferred but not required.
  • Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record.
