About the role
American Dream Motors is an independent used car and truck dealership in Winchester, Virginia. We are looking for a sales consultant who can build trust, explain things clearly, and help people buy the right vehicle without high-pressure tactics.
Our systems handle lead response, reminders, and CRM organization, so you spend your time on the part that actually sells cars: talking with customers, understanding what they need, showing vehicles, running test drives, following up, presenting approved numbers, and asking for the sale.
What you’ll do
- Work scheduled appointments, internet leads, phone inquiries, and walk-in customers
- Understand each customer’s vehicle, budget, and transportation needs
- Recommend the right vehicles and describe their features and known condition accurately
- Conduct test drives and maintain strong knowledge of our inventory
- Present dealership-approved pricing and financing options
- Bring pricing exceptions, trade values, lender decisions, and unapproved terms to management
- Follow up with customers by phone, text, and email
- Log every customer interaction, note, and next step in the CRM
- Coordinate vehicle delivery and check in with customers after the sale
- Earn repeat and referral business through honest, respectful service
What we’re looking for
- Automotive sales experience preferred, but not required
- Experience in powersports, wireless, furniture, roofing, solar, retail, or another customer-facing sales role is welcome
- A track record of building relationships and closing sales
- Strong communication and follow-up habits
- Reliable attendance and professional conduct
- Comfortable working in a CRM and keeping accurate customer records
- Valid driver’s license and a driving record acceptable to our insurer
- Able to complete a lawful background check and motor vehicle record review
- Spanish-English bilingual ability is a strong plus, but not required
Virginia licensing
You do not need a Virginia motor vehicle salesperson license to apply; an active license is a plus. The person we hire is a W-2 employee and will complete the Virginia Motor Vehicle Dealer Board qualification and licensing process. You may not sell vehicles until the dealership receives the approved license.
Schedule
- Five scheduled days per week - We are usually here 6 days a week, but can do 5 - up to you.
- Dealership hours are Monday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
- Saturday availability is required
- Closed Sundays, plus one additional scheduled weekday off
Why American Dream Motors
- Small team with direct access to ownership — decisions get made the same day
- Straightforward hourly-plus-commission pay you can actually calculate
- No crowded sales floor competing for the same customer
- Technology that removes the administrative busywork
- Learn the complete used vehicle sales process, start to finish
- Customer-first environment with no pressure tactics
- Room to grow as the dealership grows
How to apply
Apply through ZipRecruiter. If the application gives you a space to write a message or cover letter, please start it with the word TRUCKS and answer these three questions:
- What is the most vehicles you have personally delivered in a single month?
- Why does working for a small independent dealership appeal to you?
- Do you currently hold a Virginia motor vehicle salesperson license?
If there is no place to write a message, apply anyway — we will ask the same three questions when we call. A resume is welcome but not required.
