Are you looking for a career, not just a job? At Pauli Ford, we believe in growing our own talent. As a second-generation, family-owned business since 1984, we’ve built a reputation as the highest-rated Ford dealer in the Lansing area (4.8/5.0 stars). We are looking for a high-energy Sales Assistant to support our sales team today while training to become a Sales Consultant tomorrow.
This is a unique opportunity to learn the automotive industry from the ground up in a transparent, "no-games" environment. Our philosophy is simple: We’ll give you all the information you need, the first time you ask. ### What You’ll Do:
Support the Mission: Provide vital administrative support to our sales team, including CRM data entry, appointment scheduling, and coordinating paperwork.
Customer Concierge: Assist customers with initial inquiries, ensuring they receive the fast, honest information Pauli Ford is known for.
Learn the Ropes: Shadow our top-performing Sales Consultants to learn the sales process, vehicle technology, and relationship-building skills.
The "Stepping Stone": Master the administrative side of the business with the long-term goal of transitioning into a full Sales Consultant role.
Pay: Competitive hourly wage.
Growth: A defined path to move into a Consultant role (where realistic earnings are $50k-$70k, with $100k+ potential).
Support: Medical, 401k, and PTO.
Culture: A family-owned, EOS-driven workplace where your contribution is valued and your growth is prioritized.
Organization: High attention to detail and the ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment.
Tech-Savvy: Comfortable using computer systems, CRMs, and digital tools.
Communication: Strong verbal and written skills; you’ll be the "voice" of the dealership for many first-time callers.
Ambition: A desire to learn the automotive sales industry and a goal to move into a commission-based sales role.
The Essentials: Valid driver’s license and a clean driving record.
Professionalism: Ability to pass a background check and drug test.
