WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS

The Salesperson exists to guide customers through one of the most significant purchases of their lives — buying a vehicle — while driving gross profit, volume, and customer satisfaction across Step One Automotive Group's dealership locations.

This role is the primary face of the dealership on the showroom floor and sales lot. Salespeople are responsible for the full customer journey: from initial greeting and needs discovery through vehicle selection, demonstration, negotiation, financing handoff, delivery, and long-term follow-up.

This is a performance-driven position. Success is measured in gross profit, units sold, and Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) scores. Every customer interaction is an opportunity to build a long-term relationship that generates repeat and referral business for the dealership.
