Sales Consultant Jobs in Charlotte, NC

Create an experience customers remember!

Johnson Volvo Cars Charlotte is looking for motivated, personable Automotive Sales Consultants to join our team.

You don't have to come from the automotive industry to build a successful career in automotive sales. Some of the qualities that make an exceptional Sales Consultant - curiosity, communication, hospitality, relationship building, follow-through, and a genuine desire to help people - translate from many different careers.

If you enjoy connecting with people, appreciate innovative products and technology, and want a career where your effort and performance can directly influence your success, we'd like to meet you.

What You'll Do

As a Sales Consultant, you'll guide customers through the vehicle-buying experience from their first conversation through vehicle delivery and beyond.

You'll:

• Welcome customers and create a professional, comfortable, and engaging sales experience.

• Ask thoughtful questions to understand each customer's transportation needs, preferences, lifestyle, and budget.

• Help customers explore new Volvo and pre-owned vehicle options.

• Present and demonstrate vehicle features, technology, safety systems, and ownership benefits.

• Conduct professional and informative test drives.

• Assist customers in evaluating purchase, lease, and trade-in options.

• Prepare and present pricing proposals in accordance with dealership guidelines.

• Partner with Sales Management and Finance to help customers move smoothly through the purchase process.

• Respond promptly to internet leads, phone inquiries, and other prospective customers.

• Maintain consistent follow-up with prospective and existing customers by phone, email, text, and other approved channels.

• Accurately maintain customer information and sales activity in the dealership's CRM system.

• Develop repeat and referral business by building relationships that extend beyond the initial sale.

• Maintain strong knowledge of Volvo vehicles, new and pre-owned inventory, manufacturer programs, warranties, and competitive products.

• Complete required Volvo and dealership training and certifications.

• Conduct professional vehicle deliveries and ensure customers understand their vehicle's features, technology, maintenance needs, and ownership resources.

• Introduce customers to our Service team and help establish a relationship that supports them throughout their ownership experience.

• Follow up after delivery to ensure satisfaction and continue building the customer relationship.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for people who are motivated, coachable, relationship-oriented, and comfortable being accountable for their own results.

Successful candidates should bring:

• Strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills.

• Excellent verbal and written communication.

• The ability to listen, ask good questions, and establish trust.

• A positive, polished, and customer-focused approach.

• Strong organization and consistent follow-through.

• Comfort with technology and the ability to learn dealership CRM and sales systems.

• An interest in learning vehicle features, safety systems, connectivity, and evolving automotive technology.

• The ability to manage multiple customers, leads, appointments, and priorities.

• The ability to work independently while contributing to a team environment.

• A strong work ethic and willingness to consistently prospect, follow up, and develop new business.

• A willingness to complete required Volvo and dealership training.

• A valid driver's license and driving record acceptable under Company standards.

• Flexibility to work a retail automotive schedule, including Saturdays as required.

Previous automotive sales experience is welcome, but it isn't the only path to success here. Experience in hospitality, retail, customer service, relationship-based sales, or another performance-driven environment can translate extremely well into automotive sales.

What Success Looks Like

Successful Automotive Sales Consultants understand that the work behind the sale matters just as much as the sale itself.

That means consistently:

• Following up with customers and managing leads.

• Generating appointments and prospecting for new business.

• Maintaining accurate and timely CRM records.

• Developing strong product knowledge.

• Completing required training and certifications.

• Delivering an exceptional customer experience.

• Building repeat and referral business.

• Meeting individual sales and performance objectives.

• Demonstrating professionalism, teamwork, and reliable attendance.
