About the Opportunity

Are you competitive, outgoing, coachable, and motivated by the opportunity to control your income? You may already have the skills to be successful in automotive sales — even if you've never sold a vehicle before.

McGrath Family of Dealerships is looking for motivated Sales Consultants who know how to connect with people, build relationships, work toward goals, and stay driven in a fast-paced environment.

Servers, bartenders, hospitality professionals, cell phone and wireless sales representatives, retail sales professionals, customer service professionals, and current or former athletes are encouraged to apply. These backgrounds develop many of the same skills our successful Sales Consultants use every day: communication, relationship building, teamwork, resilience, competitiveness, multitasking, and the ability to perform under pressure.

Prior automotive sales experience is not required . We provide training, coaching, and a proven sales process. You bring the work ethic, personality, competitive drive, and willingness to learn.

Why Your Experience Transfers

Servers & Hospitality Professionals: You already know how to read people, build rapport quickly, multitask, provide excellent customer service, make recommendations, and create an experience that keeps customers coming back.

Cell Phone & Retail Sales Professionals: You understand consultative selling, product knowledge, asking questions, recommending solutions, handling objections, meeting sales goals, and working in a commission or performance-driven environment.

Athletes & Former Athletes: You understand coaching, discipline, competition, accountability, teamwork, resilience, and what it means to continuously improve your performance.
