Automotive Sales Manager

KUNES FORD OF DELAVAN is hiring an experienced Automotive Sales Manager to lead our new and used vehicle sales team. If you have a strong work ethic, excellent customer relationship skills, and thrive as a true operator — leading a team, managing inventory, and driving the customer experience, not just structuring deals — we want to hear from you. This is a hands-on leadership role overseeing sales staff, inventory, and the customer buying experience — with real earning potential through salary plus commission.

Experience preferred — we also welcome high-volume salespeople looking to step into management.

• Set the Strategy – Establish clear, achievable sales targets and drive the team's performance toward dealership objectives.
• Manage Inventory – Oversee new and used vehicle inventory, ensuring the showroom and lot are well-stocked, organized, and sale-ready.
• Oversee Demo & Test-Drive Vehicles – Ensure demo vehicles are properly maintained and always available for customer test drives.
• Review & Approve Deals – Evaluate and approve sales deals to ensure profitability and fairness for both the dealership and the customer.
• Own the Customer Experience – Manage customer relationships from first contact through delivery, resolving concerns quickly and professionally.
• Train Your Team – Run regular sales meetings and training sessions to keep staff up to date on products, promotions, and industry best practices.
• Drive Marketing Efforts – Support advertising campaigns and promotions to increase showroom traffic and sales volume.
