Chevrolet or GM franchise experience is a plus.
Sales Leadership & Driving Performance
Lead daily sales operations with a strong presence on the showroom floor. Conduct engaging, productive morning sales meetings that establish clear goals, reinforce processes, and drive sales activity.

Identify weaknesses in the sales process and implement strategies that produce measurable improvement. Develop sales managers and consultants through hands-on coaching, accountability, and consistent performance management. Create a culture of urgency, ownership, professionalism, and execution. Demonstrate the ability to move the needle in sales volume, gross profit, closing ratios, and overall departmental performance.

Utilize DriveCentric CRM to manage leads, customer engagement, follow-up, and sales activity. Ensure every opportunity is properly documented and consistently worked. Monitor lead response times, appointment setting, show rates, and closing ratios. Maintain meticulous attention to detail in deal structure, customer information, follow-up, and sales procedures. Establish consistent processes that eliminate missed opportunities and improve accountability. Use CRM reporting and performance metrics to identify opportunities for improvement.
New & Pre-Owned Vehicle Operations
Oversee new Chevrolet and pre-owned vehicle sales operations. Manage inventory levels, pricing strategies, aging, and turn rate. Work closely with the used vehicle department to improve acquisition, appraisal accuracy, and profitability. Monitor market pricing and maintain competitive inventory positioning. Maximize front-end gross while maintaining a strong customer experience. Execute manufacturer incentives and sales programs effectively.
Team Development & Accountability
Recruit, train, motivate, and retain high-performing sales personnel. Set clear expectations and hold the team accountable for daily activity and monthly objectives. Lead by example through active involvement in customer interactions and deal negotiations. Develop future sales leaders and create a team-oriented environment. Recognize performance while addressing deficiencies quickly and professionally.
Customer Experience & Operational Excellence
Maintain a high standard of customer satisfaction and professionalism. Resolve escalated customer concerns with confidence and urgency. Ensure accuracy and attention to detail throughout the sales process. Promote transparent pricing, ethical practices, and long-term customer relationships.
Proven automotive dealership sales management experience with strong closing ability and a track record of converting opportunities into sales. Demonstrated ability to increase sales volume, gross profit, and overall dealership performance. Experience managing both new and used vehicle operations. Working knowledge of DriveCentric CRM or similar automotive CRM platforms. Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills. Strong leadership, communication, negotiation, and deal-structuring abilities. Ability to lead effective morning meetings and maintain consistent sales-floor accountability. Chevrolet or GM franchise experience is a plus. Strong understanding of dealership financial statements, inventory management, and variable operations. Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record.

Someone who can identify opportunities, create a plan, and execute. A leader who conducts morning meetings with purpose and energy, knows how to motivate a team while holding people accountable, and can improve processes, increase sales, and make a measurable difference in dealership performance.
