Entry-Level Sales Representative

Description

Grote Automotive is looking for a motivated, friendly, and driven Entry-Level Sales Representative to join our growing team in Elkhart, IN.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with people, has strong communication skills, and wants a career with real earning potential. Automotive experience is helpful, but not required. We are willing to train the right person who has the right attitude, work ethic, and desire to succeed.

As an Entry-Level Sales Representative, you'll help customers through every step of the car-buying process - from understanding their needs, showing vehicles, answering questions, arranging test drives, and helping create a smooth, stress-free experience from start to finish.

Perks of Joining Grote Automotive:

• Competitive commission structure with strong earning potential
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) options
• Employee discounts on vehicle purchases
• Ongoing training and professional development
• Supportive, team-oriented environment
• Opportunity to expand with one of Indiana's fastest-growing dealerships

At Grote Automotive, we are on a mission to put the fun back into buying a car while bringing respect, responsibility, and transparency back to the car business.

We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to drive a nicer, newer vehicle, and we are committed to helping customers find solutions that fit their needs. Our team focuses on solving problems first, building trust, and creating a better experience for every customer who walks through our doors.

We believe that when you treat people with courtesy, provide clear information, and deliver concierge-level service, you create customers for life.

If you are motivated, coachable, and want to be part of a growing dealership that works hard, has fun, and celebrates success, we want to talk to you.

We're excited to meet the next great member of our team!
