Automotive Sales Performance Coach & Trainer

Automotive Sales Performance Coach & Trainer

Chapman Automotive Group is seeking a highly motivated, results-driven Automotive Sales Performance Coach & Trainer to support the continued growth and development of our multi-franchise dealership operations in Tucson, Arizona.

This position is ideal for an automotive professional who combines strong retail automotive experience with a passion for coaching, performance improvement, accountability, and employee development. The successful candidate will work closely with dealership leadership, sales managers, and sales consultants to improve performance, strengthen customer communication, drive process consistency, and develop future leaders.

This position is critical to the success of our stores. Many of our salespeople enter the automotive industry with little or no experience, and this role is responsible for providing foundational training before they ever interact with customers, followed by ongoing coaching, development, and accountability throughout their careers.

The majority of our dealerships operate under a One Point of Contact (A2Z) sales process, while several locations utilize a more traditional sales and F&I structure. The ideal candidate will be comfortable training and coaching employees in both environments.

This role reports directly to the Executive Vice President and works closely with General Managers, Sales Managers, and dealership leadership teams across all Tucson operations.

• Improve the quality, effectiveness, and consistency of customer communications throughout the sales cycle
• Support the adoption and utilization of dealership technology platforms and software systems
• Develop future sales and management talent within the organization
• Promote a culture of continuous improvement, customer satisfaction, and professional development

Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of successful automotive retail experience
• Previous experience as a Sales Manager, Finance Manager, General Sales Manager, Trainer, or other dealership leadership role preferred
• Strong understanding of automotive sales, finance, customer experience, and dealership operations
• Familiarity with One Point of Contact sales processes strongly preferred
• Ability to work effectively within both One Point of Contact and traditional sales/F&I dealership environments
• Experience utilizing and coaching teams on CRM systems and customer engagement platforms

• Exceptional communication, presentation, coaching, and relationship-building skills

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation package
• Medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) benefits
