This is an important position within our dealership. You will often be one of the first people a customer speaks with, whether they call us, submit an online inquiry, or walk through our doors. We want someone who can make customers feel welcome, communicate clearly, and help get them connected with the right member of our team.
The right person is positive, personable, organized, dependable, and comfortable working in a high-energy environment. You do not need to know everything about cars, but you do need to be willing to learn, communicate confidently, and stay on top of multiple conversations and tasks at once.

- Help ensure customer leads are responded to quickly and do not fall through the cracks
- Greet customers and visitors and help connect them with a salesperson
- Take accurate messages and communicate important information to the sales and management teams
- Work closely with our sales team to provide customers with a smooth and positive experience
- Help with other dealership-related tasks as needed
What We're Looking For
- Strong customer service and communication skills
- Friendly and confident personality, both in person and over the phone

- Comfortable making and receiving a high volume of customer calls
- Ability to learn and use CRM and dealership software

- Organized and able to keep track of multiple customers and tasks at the same time
- Dependable, punctual, and able to work well as part of a team

Who Will Do Well Here
This position is a great fit for someone who genuinely enjoys talking to people and isn't afraid to pick up the phone.
Our dealership stays busy, and we move a lot of vehicles. We need someone who can keep up, stay organized, communicate well with different personalities, and take pride in helping customers.
We are not looking for someone who simply wants to sit behind a desk and wait for the phone to ring. We want someone who is proactive—someone who will follow up, help schedule appointments, keep customers engaged, and work alongside the sales team to help create opportunities.
