You’ve proven you can sell. Now it’s time to learn how to lead.
Some of the best salespeople in the automotive industry get stuck.
You become a top producer. You’re valuable to the store. You consistently perform. And because of that, nobody wants to take you off the floor and give you the opportunity to learn the next part of the business.
We understand that.
Kelowna Chrysler is looking for a successful automotive salesperson who is hungry to grow into management.
This is not an ASM position where you get a title, a set of keys, and spend your days taking TOs.
This is a genuine opportunity to learn the business, develop as a leader, and build the skills required to become a successful Sales Manager.
For the right person, this role is designed to be a stepping stone into senior sales management.
What You’ll Actually Learn
We want to develop a well-rounded automotive leader.
You’ll receive hands-on training and real experience in:
- Desking and structuring deals
- Used vehicle appraisals
- Used vehicle inventory management
- Inventory acquisition and purchasing
- New and used vehicle merchandising
- Deal profitability and gross management
- Coaching and developing salespeople
- Closing and TO strategies
- Appointment and pipeline management
- Daily sales floor operations
- Performance management and accountability
- Understanding the numbers behind a successful sales department
You won’t be expected to know all of this on day one.
That’s the point of the opportunity.
We’re looking for someone who has mastered the fundamentals of selling and is ready to learn how to run a sales department.
A Real Path Forward
Our goal is not to hire an Assistant Sales Manager who stays an Assistant Sales Manager forever.
For the right person, this can be a stepping stone toward becoming a Sales Manager.
You’ll work directly with an experienced and highly involved leadership team that believes in developing people, giving them real responsibility, and teaching them every side of the business.
We know many top salespeople reach a point where they want more.
The challenge is that when you’re producing at a high level, your current store may not want to lose those sales by moving you into management.
Opportunities to truly learn desking, used cars, inventory, leadership, and sales operations can be difficult to find.
This is one of those opportunities.
Who We’re Looking For
This role is built for a strong automotive salesperson who:
- Has a proven track record of success
- Wants to build a long-term career in automotive management
- Is hungry to learn beyond their current role
- Is interested in desking, used cars, inventory, and leadership
- Naturally helps and supports the people around them
- Is competitive but wants the entire team to win
- Takes ownership of their results
- Is coachable and open to learning
- Brings energy and urgency to the showroom
- Wants responsibility and is prepared to earn it
Management experience is not required.
Automotive sales experience and a genuine desire to grow are.
