Parts Sales - Front Counter

Essential Duties and Responsibilities include the following:

1. Front Counterpersons are expected to generate a minimum of sales per month. This amount is on the MTD Performance that shows the sales performance of each person.
2. Front Counterpersons are to fill the needs of the customer at the counter.
3. When a line forms at the counter, the Front Counterpersons are to acknowledge new customers and let them know they will get with them as soon as they finish meeting the needs of their current customer.
4. Front Counterpersons are to perform “Will Call” tasks when demand from these customers exceeds the designated Will Call person’s capability.
5. Front Counterpersons are not to receive damaged parts and issue credit for a new one in its place; the customer must purchase a new part. When the OEM determines that a part is warrantable, the customer will then be eligible for a credit.
6. Front Counterpersons are responsible for checking their own core returns. If they do not feel comfortable with this, they are still responsible, but should consult another opinion from a more seasoned Counterperson.
7. Front Counterpersons dual as cashiers for the customers to whom they sell parts. Each is responsible for accuracy in their cash drawer.
8. A driver’s license is to be collected from a customer who uses a dolly and given back when they return the dolly.

Finer Points It is very easy for Front Counterpersons to fall into the role of an “order taker” rather than take each opportunity to sell other products the dealership has to offer. Front Counterpersons are expected to sell products related to the primary part a customer needs.
