Automotive Sales Consultant

Looking for More Than Just Another Sales Job?

At Kraig Ford, we're looking for professionals who love helping people and want to build a long-term career—not just someone looking for their next paycheck.

Our mission is simple:

Our business isn't cars-it's people. We build relationships through exceptional service and integrity; we just happen to sell and service vehicles.

That philosophy shapes everything we do. Whether you're helping a customer purchase their first vehicle or welcoming back a longtime client, you'll be part of a team that believes lasting relationships matter more than one-time transactions.

Whether you already have automotive sales experience or you've been successful in retail, hospitality, banking, customer service, insurance, real estate, or another people-focused profession, we want to talk with you.

We believe great salespeople are made through coaching, integrity, and hard work—not high-pressure tactics.

If you're motivated, enjoy building relationships, and want to work for a respected, family-owned dealership where your success is recognized and rewarded, we'd love to meet you.
