Director of Sales

The Motorcycle Company
Grand Rapids, MI Full Time
POSTED ON 9/10/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 1/7/2027

DIRECTOR OF SALES —

The Motorcycle Company.

25 STORES - (21) HARLEY. (3) POWERSPORTS. (1) MARINE.

Field-based, Nationwide | $200-250K Earnings Target | 90% travel

If you have run a big Harley or Powersports store and thought "I could do this across a whole group" this is that seat.

We consult for 3 dealer groups currently MOD Enterprises, PVM Enterprises and Rockstar Powersports. 25 stores total: 21 Harley-Davidson, 3 powersports, 1 marine, coast to coast, with one operating standard. All 3 groups are actively buying stores, most recently MOD Enterprises acquiring Ironclad Harley-Davidson and turning it into a top 10 Harley dealer in the country it’s first year! We are hiring one person to own the Sales Process, Units and Gross Profit across all rooftops.

The Job

  • Own the number: Units, Front End Margin and Backend PUS across all 25 stores
  • Own the sales floor process end to end. Step 1 through Step 9, one way, in every store.
  • Own the internet sales process from inbound lead to shown appointment.
  • Own training and the manager bench — Fit Specialists through GSMs.
  • Tier every store monthly and put your boots where the gap is. Weakest stores get you every 30 days.

How We Operate

  • Volume is the job. Gross profit is how well we do it.
  • Sales is a contact sport — quantity is often the issue, not quality.
  • Progress, not perfection. Execute the little things extraordinarily well.
  • Phone-first. Every seat from GM down generates appointments.
  • Hard on the process, not on the people.

You

  • 10 years dealership sales leadership. Multi rooftop experience preferred.
  • GM or GSM background required.
  • Two or more documented store turnarounds.
  • You bring your numbers to the interview — units, margin, PUS, closing percentages.
  • You can run the sales meeting, work the desk, and close a deal yourself today.
  • You are good with 18–22 nights a month on the road.
  • Motorcycle endorsement required within 90 days. Most of our leadership rides — we would rather you already do.

The Travel

  • 90% travel. 18–22 nights per month on the road. This is a travel position.
  • 22 store visit days per month. Roughly 250 store visits per year across 25 rooftops weighted heavily toward underperformers.
  • Weekends Required. We are in the retail business and need to be in the stores when they’re the busiest. Monday is the highest-leverage day in a sales department.

The Money

Base: $150,000. Target: $200-250k . Bonus on units, gross, floor and internet closing. All travel paid, full benefits, 401(k), employee purchase program.
