Automotive Internet Sales Associate - Rockville Audi

Our 100+ dealerships are concerned with more than moving inventory; they're committed to your success and invested in your future. So read on, and consider a rewarding career with Sonic Automotive, Inc.

So you think you know what selling cars is all about?  Audi Rockville has changed that.  With an industry high retention rate, professional tools, and processes that are industry best, our team sells more vehicles, schedules their work flow, and frankly makes a far better income than most sales teams could look to make in 3-5 years.  We do without negotiation…and this leads to a guest experience second to none.  As MD’s #1 volume Audi dealer, and typically in the top 10% nationwide, we have moved away from the 1970 style of car sales. Additionally, we know this works for our associates and guests as we have become the number one Audi Pre-owned dealership in the U.S.  While college grads are preferred, you prior guest experience may include other life experiences.  Our newest teammates came from successful high end restaurants, 4 year degree programs, and from other places that motivated people start their careers.  If your background drives you for more, and this new economy has not found a workplace for you…let’s talk.  Our sale professionals are responsible for selling vehicles and high levels of customer satisfaction. Our team makes their living responding to internet leads created by interested guests, as well as incoming phone inquiries and walks ins to the showroom.  Last month 1400 internet leads resulted in 160 or more of over 250 new and pre-owned car sales.  This position includes three broad areas of activity: personal work habits, selling, and follow-up.
