Key Responsibilities

Lead the Guest Experience: Oversee and guide the BDC team to ensure all inbound and outbound inquiries (calls, web forms, emails, and chat) are handled promptly, professionally, and courteously.
Coach and Train: Train staff in the art and science of guest-facing communication, including proper phone scripts, appointment setting appointments, and follow-up strategies.
Performance Management: Set goals, track key performance indicators (KPIs), and monitor lead conversion and appointment-show ratios.
Review and Refine: Listen to live and recorded calls to constantly improve the quality of our guest interactions.
Cross-Department Collaboration: Work closely with the sales floor and management teams to ensure a seamless, high-quality transition from the first point of contact to an in-person showroom visit.

Qualifications & Requirements

Experience: Proven success in automotive internet sales, BDC representation, or dealership guest-facing roles.
The Right Attitude: Highly motivated, eager to learn, coachable, and hungry for career advancement into dealership management.
Communication Skills: Excellent, clear, and empathetic verbal and written communication skills.

Career Growth: Direct mentorship and a defined trajectory into higher-level dealership management.
A positive, forward-thinking organizational culture that values teamwork, growth, and development.
