Sales Representative (Norfolk & Surrounding Areas) Job in Newport News 23601, Virginia Us

Position Description:


Sales Representatives (Internally Known as “Sales Advisor”)

Integrity matters. Helping people matters, too.

DriveTime is the largest chain of privately owned financing dealerships in the country, with more than 80 stores and plans to grow another 15% in new and existing markets in 2010. We’re also more like a customer-service-oriented retailer than a car lot, which is why great customer-service professionals truly succeed at DriveTime. So, if you’re looking for bigger, better opportunities with a solid, performing company, this is it!

It’s YOUR Career. Make it count!

A typical day as a Sales Advisor.
Expect to walk into a fun environment built on open, friendly relationships. As a sales representative for DriveTime, commonly known as our Sales Advisors, you’ll spend half your time on the phone, answering questions and educating qualified leads about their options. The other half will be interacting with customers in person, making them feel comfortable, working out financing and options and collaborating with co-workers. And while your ultimate responsibility is to sell cars, you’ll find that you accomplish this goal by providing outstanding customer service.
Here’s what you WON’T do:
• Twist someone’s arm to buy a car – we’re not into heavy-handed sales tactics. We’re not into any kind of “tactics.”
• Pounce on people who just came to look at cars (like the guys at every other dealership in town). Instead, you’ll smile and just say, “Hi.”
• Play games with the customer. This is a new kind of car sales where every vehicle has one honest price—no haggling, no games.

Success Matters.

Our top-performing Sales Advisors:

• Are into teamwork and partnership.
• Have a 4-year college degree.
• Have face-to-face sales related experience in industries like retail, hospitality, wireless, call center or rent-to-own.
• Have a friendly, helpful, win-win approach to things.
• Respect customers and make them feel comfortable.
• Car sales experience is NOT required.

Rewards Matter.

Money: It's great. Excellent base salary plus commissions and bonuses average to $45,000 in the first year.

Benefits: Outstanding medical, dental and vision plans (After just 60 days)! 401K match too!

Schedule: Expect a consistent schedule that allows everyone to work with customers during peak times. Enjoy a 5-day week with Sundays always off.

Future: We’re a unique, highly respected, nationwide company with a strong culture of promoting from within. This isn’t a job. It’s a career.

Qualifications:

Experience Matters.

This job position is designated as a safety sensitive position.

We’re looking for talented and ambitious team players with these qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree from a 4-year college
• 2 to 5 years of experience in the workforce
• Face-to-face sales/customer service related experience in industries like retail, hospitality, wireless, or call center, ideally including in-person and over-the-phone experience with customers
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Thirst for career development and continuous learning
• Good communication skills and listening skills, and the ability to understand and relate to people from all walks of life
• Excellent PC skills
• Value and embrace diversity
• Valid driver’s license, a clean driving record, and the ability to pass a drug test and a background check

And when it comes to hiring, we don’t just look for the right person for the job,
we seek out the right person for DriveTime. Along the way, we provide plenty of opportunity to be creative and grow professionally in a fun, high-energy environment.

It’s YOUR career. Are you ready to make it count?
