Exciting Opportunity: General Sales Manager – Drive High-Volume Performance at a Leading Used Sports Car Dealership!
I’m assisting a high-performance, enthusiast-focused used sports car dealership—one of the nation’s top players—in their search for an accomplished General Sales Manager. If you’re a results-driven leader with a documented track record of success in the automotive industry, thrive on the showroom floor, and can deliver disciplined, high-energy operational leadership, this role is for you.
About the Role
This is a senior operational leadership position that demands discipline, stamina, dedication, hard work, and long hours. It’s not a behind-the-desk role—you’ll be actively leading from the front, visible on the showroom floor, talking to customers, and deeply involved in every aspect of the dealership’s sales operations. Expect to wear comfortable dress shoes and keep moving.
Key Responsibilities:
- Sales Floor Leadership: Maintain a strong, visible presence on the showroom floor. Be actively involved in all aspects of sales, desk management, F&I coordination, customer relations, inventory acquisition, and interdepartmental execution.
- Team Development: Recruit, train, and develop high-performing sales professionals who can deliver results.
- Operational Excellence: Implement extended dealership hours (targeting an 8:30 AM – 9:00 PM model) with structured rotating shifts. Establish clear accountability systems and performance metrics across departments.
- Performance & Profitability: Protect margins while driving strong volume. Oversee inventory turn, aging control, and gross preservation on a 200–250 unit inventory. Grow net profitability with full P&L awareness.
- Tools & Processes: Leverage advanced desking, CRM, and reporting skills while overseeing F&I production and product penetration.
Why You’ll Love This Role
- High-Impact Leadership: Your decisions and energy will directly shape sales performance and profitability in a fast-moving, high-volume environment.
- Performance-Driven Culture: Join a specialized team serving passionate Corvette enthusiasts with a proven high-performance retail model.
- Earnings Potential: Competitive base compensation plus strong performance incentives—high income potential for the right operator who delivers results.
- Family Owned: This dealership is family owned, with no secret investors or backers to deal with
The Ideal Candidate
- 10+ years of documented leadership experience at a dealership with verifiable performance metrics.
- Hands-on experience directly managing 200–250 unit inventory, with strong command of inventory turn, aging control, and gross preservation.
- Proven ability to grow net profitability and deliver P&L accountability.
- Advanced proficiency in desking, CRM systems, and reporting.
- A decisive, engaged leader with executive presence, high personal discipline, and a “get it done” team attitude.
Professional Standards
- Executive presence is required—professional business dress with a tie is mandatory.
- This role demands stamina for long hours and a fully committed, performance-oriented approach.
The Trade-Offs
- Expect a demanding schedule with extended hours and rotating shifts—no easy desk job here.
- As this is a small dealership, there are no health benefits available
