• Connect with customers interested in our vehicles
• Schedule appointments for our sales consultants
• Follow up with customers through phone, text, and email
• Maintain accurate records in our CRM system
• Work closely with the sales team to ensure a great customer experience

Success in this role comes from building relationships and confidently guiding conversations toward appointments.
