Job summary

Zohorecruit is seeking a Product Specialist to support Toyota dealership activities in Easley, SC. You will engage with customers on the lot or via scheduled visits, demonstrate vehicles, and guide buyers through a transparent, one-price process.

No aggressive negotiation, friendly, product-led selling is expected. You will master the Toyota lineup, deliver demos and test drives, and ensure customers leave with confidence through setup of Toyota app and driver-assist features.

Qualifications

• Strong communication skills and a professional, customer-first presence.
• Basic comfort with technology — CRM, mobile apps, vehicle infotainment.
• Valid driver’s license with an insurable driving record.
• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Ability to work Saturdays.
• No automotive experience required.

Responsibilities

• Greet and work with customers who are already on the lot or scheduled — floor traffic, appointments, and service-drive opportunities.
• Know the lineup at a professional level: Tacoma, Tundra, RAV4, Grand Highlander, 4Runner, Camry, Corolla, Sequoia, and the full hybrid/electrified range.
• Deliver structured product demonstrations and test drives — including Toyota Safety Sense, hybrid powertrain differences, towing and payload, and trim-to-trim comparisons.
• Explain the numbers clearly using our one-price/transparent pricing model — no back-and-forth, no theater
• Set up the customer’s technology at delivery (Toyota app, phone pairing, driver-assist settings) so they leave confident.
• Follow up on your own sold and unsold customers through our CRM — consistently.
• Complete Toyota certification training and stay current as the lineup changes.
• Protect our CSI scores. Every delivery is a future repeat or referral.

Job description

Easley, United States

$80,000 first-year target earnings · base draw + volume bonus · No haggling

The short version

We sell 150+ new and used Toyota's a month. The traffic is already here — floor ups, internet leads, service drive, and a repeat/referral base built over 30 years. We don't need someone to hunt. We need someone who knows the product cold, treats people well, and closes without a fight.

That's what a Product Specialist does here. You're not a "car salesman" in the way you're picturing. You don't negotiate prices, and you don't chase people down. You demonstrate vehicles, answer real questions, and guide the customer through a transparent process.

What you'll actually do

• Greet and work with customers who are already on the lot or already scheduled — floor traffic, appointments, and service-drive opportunities
• Know the lineup at a professional level: Tacoma, Tundra, RAV4, Grand Highlander, 4Runner, Camry, Corolla, Sequoia, and the full hybrid/electrified range
• Deliver structured product demonstrations and test drives — including Toyota Safety Sense, hybrid powertrain differences, towing and payload, and trim-to-trim comparisons
• Explain the numbers clearly using our one-price/transparent pricing model — no back-and-forth, no "let me go talk to my manager" theater
• Set up the customer's technology at delivery (Toyota app, phone pairing, driver-assist settings) so they leave confident
• Follow up on your own sold and unsold customers through our CRM — consistently, not sporadically
• Complete Toyota certification training and stay current as the lineup changes
• Protect our CSI scores. Every delivery is a future repeat or referral

Compensation

• Bonuses: CSI/survey bonus, TCUV bonus, monthly manufacturer spiffs
• Realistic first-year target: $80,000–$90,000. Top Product Specialists here earn $120,000+
• Medical, dental, and vision
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Employee vehicle purchase and service discounts
• Paid Toyota factory training and certification
• Five-day work week with a real schedule — closed Sundays, rotating Saturdays off

Who does well in this job

• You're genuinely curious about vehicles and can explain a hybrid system to someone who's never owned one
• You listen more than you talk
• You're organized enough to run your own follow-up without being reminded
• You handle a "no" without taking it personally and a busy Saturday without getting rattled
• You want to be measured on results and you're comfortable seeing your numbers on a board

Requirements

• Strong communication skills and a professional, customer-first presence
• Basic comfort with technology — CRM, mobile apps, vehicle infotainment
• Valid driver's license with an insurable driving record
• High school diploma or equivalent
• Ability to work Saturdays
• No automotive experience required. We've hired successfully out of hospitality, retail, fitness, wireless, and the military. We'll teach you the product and the process — bring the work ethic and the personality.
