What are the responsibilities and job description for the Aircraft Sales Counselor position at LifeStyle Aviation?
Are you a pilot with a sales hunter mindset? Are you looking for a career that allows you to explore your full potential by mastering every corner of the aviation market? At LifeStyle Aviation, we offer a unique career platform. You won’t just be selling one type of plane; you will act as the Exclusive Distributor for the industry’s most compelling modern flight training fleet solutions while simultaneously brokering a vast range of modern aircraft. This is your opportunity to define your career in aviation.
The Role: A Dual-Engine Opportunity
As an Aircraft Sales Counselor, you will operate on two powerful tracks, giving you the stability of B2B relationships and the excitement of high-end retail sales:
1. The Fleet Specialist (The Exclusive Advantage)
You will hold the keys to exclusive inventory that flight schools desperately need to modernize their operations.
- The Mission: You will be charged with actively reaching out to flight training operators to develop new relationships and present the business case for modernizing their fleets.
- The Goal: Secure fleet orders that transform flight schools and grow the adoption of modern aviation technology.
- The Edge: You are the exclusive source for these solutions—you have the product the market needs.
2. The Aviation Broker (The Wide Scope)
You will guide high-net-worth individuals through the complex and exciting world of aircraft ownership.
- The Inventory: You will broker and sell a wide range of modern aircraft—Singles, Twins, Pistons, and Turbines.
- The Approach: You will act as a "Counselor," helping clients match their mission profile and lifestyle to the perfect machine.
- The Variety: No two days are the same. You might negotiate a fleet deal in the morning and hand over the keys to a luxury turbine in the afternoon.
Key Responsibilities
- Hunt & Grow: Proactively identify and qualify opportunities with both individual buyers and corporate flight training organizations.
- Consult: Conduct deep needs assessments. Whether it’s a flight school needing ROI analysis for a fleet or a CEO needing a travel solution, you provide the answers.
- Present: Showcase aircraft capabilities, features, and financial benefits to diverse audiences.
- Close: Negotiate complex deals, managing the process from initial inquiry through contracts, financing, insurance, and delivery.
- Network: Build a powerful personal brand by attending industry events, fly-ins, and conferences to expand your territory.
Who You Are
- A Pilot: Minimum Private Pilot License (PPL) is required. You love aviation and speak the language fluently.
- A Versatile Seller: Minimum 3 years of sales experience. You are comfortable in a business boardroom and on the ramp with a private buyer.
- A Tech-Native: You are strong with CRM software, digital contracting, and modern communication tools.
- A Relationship Builder: You understand that aviation is a small world; you treat every interaction with integrity and professionalism.
- Educated: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Aviation, Marketing, or related field preferred.
