Job Description

Who We Are

We’re Dealer Tire, a family-owned, international distributor of tires and parts established in 1918 in Cleveland, OH. We’re laser focused on helping the world’s largest and most trusted auto manufacturers grow their tire business—in fact, we’ve sold more than 60 million tires to date. We’re a thriving company, and we’re looking for driven individuals to join our team. That’s where you come in!

Targeted Annual Commission:

Turn Your Customer-Facing Sales Experience into a Higher-Earning, Work-Life Balanced Career

Are you a top-performing sales professional in a customer-facing, goal-driven environment like wireless, big-box electronics, or membership sales?

If you know how to build rapport, uncover needs, and close, Dealer Tire offers a unique opportunity to take your sales skills into a role with:

• Stronger earning potential

• A consistent 40-hour schedule

• Real career growth

We are an industry-leading, family-owned company supporting premium automotive brands nationwide, and we’re hiring driven, relationship-focused professionals to join us as Sales Specialist.

You’ll join a team of 550+ high-performing sales professionals who thrive on service, results, and career growth.

Why This Role Stands Out

You already succeed at:

• Connecting with customers quickly

• Recommending the right product with confidence

• Closing sales and hitting goals

• Managing multiple customer interactions efficiently

This role allows you to use those same skills in a more stable, higher-earning environment—without the unpredictable retail hours.

Compensation & Benefits That Stand Out

• Base pay: $28.34 – $30.85/hour

• Target annual commission: $13,200

• Guaranteed commission during onboarding (up to 2 months)

• Medical, Dental, Vision

• 50% 401(k) match up to 7%

• PTO eligibility after 30 days (up to 19 days annually)

• Consistent 5-day, 40-hour work week

What You’ll Do

You’ll work inside a premium automotive dealership, acting as the tire sales expert customer's trust.

After a fully paid training program, you will:

• Engage customers and sell tires on the service drive

• Perform quick visual inspections

• Identify needs and confidently recommend solutions

• Provide pricing and close sales

• Build relationships with customers and dealership teams

• Support store operations (inventory, reporting, etc.)

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of sales experience in a goal-driven, customer-facing environment

• Proven ability to hit or exceed sales targets

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-volume environment

• Basic computer skills (order systems, CRM tools)

Career Growth You Can Count On

Dealer Tire promoted an average of 114 team members per year in our Tire Store program.

Your performance here doesn’t go unnoticed—it drives your career forward.

Ready for a Sales Role with earning potential that provides work-life balance?

• A predictable schedule

• Long-term career growth
