Job Description
** Prior experience in Automotive Sales Management within a dealership setting is required **
Do you want to live in a charming location that experiences all four seasons, close to the beach, without excessive traffic, yet close to everything you need?
Does your ideal dealership value family, provide opportunities for a work-life balance, and thrive on lifelong customer relationships?
Maybe this sounds too good to be true—but this is what our employees at Pecheles Honda in New Bern, NC enjoy!
Pecheles Honda is seeking a dynamic General Sales Manager to bring passion, energy, and inspiration to our talented team! As the General Sales Manager, you will focus on mentoring and further developing our Sales Team by fine tuning process execution and delivering remarkable customer experiences. This is not a desk job. Our General Sales Manager needs to be fully engaged with staff & customers- on the lot and in the showroom. Our loyal customers know they can count on our Sales Team to make their purchase a smooth and enjoyable experience. Here is what they have to say about us and why we have a 4.9-star rating on Google:
- I had an excellent experience with the Pecheles Honda dealership. Over the past three years, I have purchased three new vehicles from them, despite the fact that I live in Texas and they are located in New Bern, NC. The deals and customer service I have received from them are so exceptional that I refuse to consider going to another dealership." - Lidia J.
- Best dealership hands down! We traveled all the way from CA to purchase a vehicle from here. Trey and the team kept me and my husband up to date as to when the car would arrive and made us feel like we were back at home. It was totally worth the trip to come here and experience what world class customer service is all about." - Holly M.
