  • Oversee new and used vehicle inventory, demo units, and lot presentation to ensure optimal selection and display
  • Ensure demo and test-drive vehicles are properly maintained and always available for customers
  • Review and approve all vehicle deals, ensuring compliance, accuracy, and profitability for both the dealership and the customer
  • Manage the customer experience from first contact through delivery, resolving concerns quickly and professionally
  • Run regular sales meetings and training sessions to keep staff current on products, promotions, and best practices
  • Collaborate with marketing on local promotions and advertising campaigns to drive showroom traffic and sales volume
Requirements

  • High school diploma required; college degree preferred, or equivalent combination of education and hands-on automotive sales experience
No management experience? We provide the training and mentorship to help motivated, high-volume salespeople grow into a leadership role at Kunes Auto Group.
