Youve Been Running the Floor. You Just Dont Have the Title Yet.
Compensation: Competitive base performance-driven comp that rewards results not tenure
Lets Talk About Where You Are Right Now
Youre at a dealership. Youre the one the owner leans on when things arent working. When the sales floor is soft youre the one pulling people into the office going through the numbers and figuring out whats broken. When a salesperson is about to lose a deal youre stepping in and closing it yourself. When the managers around you are coasting youre picking up the slack and training their people for them.
Youve built things. Youve taken a team that was underperforming and turned it around. Youve hired youve trained youve fired when you needed to. You know what a real sales process looks like and you know how to hold people to one.
But youre stuck. Maybe youre a Finance Director whos been running circles around the GSM and everyone knows it. Maybe youre a Sales Manager at a store that wont give you the keys. Maybe youve been told youre not ready by someone who hasnt had a new idea since 2011.
If thats you keep reading.
Heres the Opportunity
SVG Motors is a seven-location dealership group across Ohio. Washington Court House sits on two of the strongest franchises in the business Toyota and Chevrolet. Not niche brands. Not lot fillers. Two franchises that customers actively seek out in a market thats growing.
And were nowhere near where we should be.
The goal is simple: double sales. Thats not a slogan on a whiteboard. Thats the objective and we need someone on the ground who can make it happen.
This is a General Sales Manager role. You dont need to have held that title before. What you need is the ability to close train build a team and run a sales operation like the number next to your name actually matters to you.
What Youll Actually Do Every Day
Close deals. Youre not a tower manager. Youre on the floor in the showroom at the desk with customers. When a salesperson gets stuck on the commitment the trade the objection the product presentation you step in face-to-face and get it done. Youre the best closer in the building and everyone knows it.
Train your people. Not a Monday morning meeting where everyone zones out. Real daily skill development. Scripts role plays objection handling F&I product presentations youre drilling your team until they can run the full transaction from greeting to delivery without flinching. You dont just show them how its done. You break down the mechanics so they can do it themselves.
Build the team. Recruit the right people. Get rid of the wrong ones. Set expectations on day one and hold them every day after. Youre not managing a roster youre building a culture where accountability is the standard not the exception. The goal is to double this stores output and that starts with whos on the floor.
Drive the numbers. Volume gross backend penetration CSI these arent reports you glance at. Theyre the scoreboard you manage to daily. If somethings slipping youre diagnosing it before anyone has to tell you. You run structured one-on-ones with every salesperson. Real data. Real goals. Real follow-through.
Develop your managers. Youre coaching your desk managers and F&I people to operate at a higher level not just technically but in how they lead how they hold the line and how they develop the people under them.
Who This Is For
Youve been in automotive. You know the business from the inside not from a textbook. Youve closed customers recently face-to-face not from behind a computer. You can teach not just watch me do it but actually break down a close an objection response or a product presentation in a way that makes someone else better. Youve managed salespeople and held them accountable to numbers and behaviors. You understand deal structure. You understand gross. Youve built something before a team a department a culture and you can point to the results. Youre hungry for the shot to run the floor at a store with real franchise power and room to grow.
Who This Isnt For
Tower managers who havent closed a customer in the showroom in years. Leaders who got the title because they outlasted everyone else. Managers who havent recruited a quality salesperson in years because they just keep recycling the same warm bodies from the dealer down the street. People who think training means forwarding a motivational YouTube video to the group chat. If your management style is hope the month works out keep scrolling.
Why This Store. Why Now.
Toyota and Chevrolet. Two of the most sought-after franchises in the country sitting in a market with real growth happening around it. The product is there. The demand is there. The upside is massive. Whats missing is the right person on the floor who can recruit train close and lead a team that performs at the level these franchises deserve.
If youve been waiting for someone to give you the shot this is it. Stop waiting for the guy above you to retire. Come double a store.
