Description

Bellingham, WA | Audi | Volkswagen | Luxury performance brand | No automotive experience required | Hospitality experience welcome | Sales experience welcome | Pacific Northwest | Whatcom County | Northern Washington | Veterans encouraged to apply | $50,000 - $125,000+ OTE

Strong candidates have come from hospitality, outdoor recreation, technology, financial services, and high-end retail.

IS THIS YOU?
• You're a warm, genuine communicator who earns trust naturally - guests feel listened to and well served in every interaction, not processed toward a decision
• You come from hospitality, outdoor and lifestyle industries, retail, financial services, or another consultative background - and you're ready to represent two brands that Bellingham buyers choose with genuine enthusiasm
• You want to build a sales career in a close-knit Pacific Northwest community where the right consultant earns a loyal client base that refers their neighbors, their family, and their coworkers

WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Welcome guests with genuine curiosity and warmth - understanding what they want before presenting what we have
• Guide guests through Audi and Volkswagen's lineups with growing product knowledge and confidence - connecting performance, design, technology, and value to what matters most to each individual buyer
• Present vehicles and conduct test drives that bring the Audi and Volkswagen ownership experiences to life
• Build and maintain a guest pipeline through consistent, disciplined follow-up and CRM use
• Collaborate with finance and management to deliver a transparent, pressure-free purchase experience
• Meet monthly targets while maintaining strong guest satisfaction scores
• Stay current on both brands' full lineups, technology features, and growing EV and PHEV offerings
• Represent Audi Volkswagen of Bellingham and Swickard's hospitality standard in every guest interaction

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• No automotive experience required - paid Audi and Volkswagen brand and product training provided from day one
• Experience in hospitality, outdoor and lifestyle industries, retail, financial services, or consultative sales strongly preferred - backgrounds that earn trust and deliver results with genuine care transfer directly to this role
• Genuine curiosity about both brands - Audi's performance and technology story and Volkswagen's design and value credentials give a prepared consultant real conversations to have with engaged buyers
• Relationship-first approach - you listen before you present and earn trust before you ask for the sale
• Self-motivated with a genuine drive to build a long-term book of repeat and referral buyers
• Comfortable with CRM tools and digital communication - or quick to learn them
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

WHAT WE OFFER
• OTE of $50,000 - $125,000+ annually
• Paid Audi and Volkswagen brand and product training from day one
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Life insurance and supplemental coverage options
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Clear career path - strong Sales Consultants grow into finance, management, and leadership roles at Swickard
• Employee vehicle purchase and service discounts

WHY AUDI VOLKSWAGEN OF BELLINGHAM
• Bellingham is a close-knit Whatcom County community where buyers talk to each other - the consultant who earns a guest's trust earns their referrals, and those relationships compound into a book of business that generates consistent income without starting over every month
• Two distinct brands under one roof - Audi's premium performance and technology story alongside Volkswagen's design-forward value proposition gives a motivated consultant a broader buyer audience and more conversations to have
• Bellingham's outdoor-oriented, values-conscious community responds to consultants who are authentic, well-prepared, and genuinely interested in what the buyer actually needs - not what closes fastest
• Swickard is one of the fastest-growing dealer groups in the country - ranked Top 5 in North America for reputation in the automotive industry
• Our HEART values - Honor, Engage, Anticipate, Respond, Thank - are the foundation of how we sell, serve, and lead
• Leadership that invests in your development and celebrates consultants who build lasting guest loyalty

If you're a relationship-driven sales professional ready to build a career representing two compelling brands in a loyal Pacific Northwest community where authenticity and follow-through earn the kind of client relationships that last - we'd like to meet you.
