You're already a proven sales manager and you know how to lead a sales team. The question is whether you're getting paid what you're worth to do it.If you're a proven sales manager - hitting your numbers, holding gross, developing your people - and the pay plan hasn't kept up with what you actually produce, this is the conversation worth having.
Gerry Lane Chevrolet has been the #1 Chevrolet store in Baton Rouge for 40 years. Not one good year. Forty. That kind of run doesn't happen without volume, without traffic, and without a desk that gets the deals bought. We're looking for one more manager who can step into that and keep it going.
What we're offeringTop managers here earn $200,000+. That is not a ceiling we made up for a job ad - it's what a manager who runs a strong desk takes home in this store.
- Aggressive pay plan built on volume and gross, with performance bonuses on top
- Health and dental plan
- 401(k) with company match
- Demo allowance
- Paid time off
- Five-day work week - a manager's schedule you can actually plan a life around
- The traffic and inventory of the #1 Chevrolet store in the market - you're not buying deals to make a month
- A leadership team that lets managers actually manage instead of second-guessing every deal
What you'll be doing- Running the desk: structuring, closing, and holding gross on new and used deals
- Working the board and managing the floor through the day - appointment to delivery
- Training, coaching, and holding your salespeople accountable to a daily process
- Managing T.O.s and taking the tough ones yourself
- Working closely with F&I to protect deal structure and product penetration
- Owning your team's CRM discipline - follow-up, logging, and lead response times
- Reporting to management on daily and monthly performance
What we're looking for- Proven automotive sales management experience - desk manager, sales manager, or GSM. This is not an entry-level position and it is not a step-up role.
- A track record you can walk us through: units, gross, and how you got there
- Someone who develops salespeople rather than just closing over them
- Strong CRM and process discipline
- Comfortable with the hours a manager's job requires, and steady under a busy Saturday
- Valid driver's license
Applications are handled through Indeed and reviewed discreetly. We understand you may be currently employed, and we treat every conversation that way.
