Learn a Profession. Build a Career. Earn What You're Worth.
Are you great with people? Competitive? Motivated? Tired of working hard without being rewarded for it?
McFadden Friendly Motors Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in South Haven, Michigan is looking for someone with the personality, drive and work ethic to become a successful Automotive Sales Consultant.
Automotive sales experience is NOT required.
In fact, some of our best salespeople have come to us from completely different careers.
We've successfully hired people with hospitality (servers / bartenders), retail, barber/beauty, call center and management work history, as well as persons with military and other customer-facing professions.
What they had in common wasn't car-selling experience.
They knew how to talk to people, build relationships, work hard, follow up, learn, and ask for the business.
We'll teach you the automotive business.
Why McFadden Friendly Motors?
McFadden Friendly Motors has been family-owned and operated since 1974. We're an established dealership with a large selection of new and used vehicles, experienced management, and a team-oriented environment.
When you join our team, you're not expected to figure it out on your own.
You'll receive:
- Paid training
- A strong weekly income guarantee while you learn
- Commission and bonus opportunities
- Experienced mentors and hands-on management support
- Medical and prescription drug coverage
- Paid vacation
- Paid sick time
- 401(k) with company matching
- Employee discounts on vehicles, parts and service
- Career advancement opportunities
- A 5-day work week most weeks
- No excessively long late-night hours
What You'll Learn
As an Automotive Sales Consultant, you'll learn how to:
- Meet and connect with customers
- Ask the right questions and understand what people actually need
- Present vehicles and explain their features and benefits

- Build your own customer base
- Negotiate and close sales

What Makes This Different From a Typical Sales Job?
At McFadden Friendly Motors, Friendly is our middle name.
We're a family-owned business, not a large corporate dealership. We've been part of the South Haven community since 1974, and we believe our employees should be treated like people—not numbers.
You'll have management support, training, mentoring, a large inventory and the opportunity to build relationships with customers that can continue for years.
And because this is a performance-based career, the more you learn, improve and sell, the more you can earn.
Ready for a Career Change?
If you're currently working in a job where you're good with people but feel like you're capable of more, this could be your opportunity.

You need to bring the drive to learn how.
