• Training, coaching, and holding your salespeople accountable to a daily process

Job description

You're already a proven sales manager and you know how to lead a sales team. The question is whether you're getting paid what you're worth to do it.

If you're a proven sales manager — hitting your numbers, holding gross, developing your people — and the pay plan hasn't kept up with what you actually produce, this is the conversation worth having.

Gerry Lane Chevrolet has been the #1 Chevrolet store in Baton Rouge for 40 years. Not one good year. Forty. That kind of run doesn't happen without volume, without traffic, and without a desk that gets the deals bought. We're looking for one more manager who can step into that and keep it going.

What we're offering

Top managers here earn $200,000+. That is not a ceiling we made up for a job ad — it's what a manager who runs a strong desk takes home in this store.

• Aggressive pay plan built on volume and gross, with performance bonuses on top

• Health and dental plan

• 401(k) with company match

• Demo allowance

• Paid time off

• Five-day work week — a manager's schedule you can actually plan a life around

• The traffic and inventory of the #1 Chevrolet store in the market — you're not buying deals to make a month

• A leadership team that lets managers actually manage instead of second-guessing every deal

What you'll be doing

• Running the desk: structuring, closing, and holding gross on new and used deals

• Working the board and managing the floor through the day — appointment to delivery

• Training, coaching, and holding your salespeople accountable to a daily process

• Managing T.O.s and taking the tough ones yourself

• Working closely with F&I to protect deal structure and product penetration

• Owning your team's CRM discipline — follow-up, logging, and lead response times

• Reporting to management on daily and monthly performance

What we're looking for

• Proven automotive sales management experience — desk manager, sales manager, or GSM. This is not an entry-level position and it is not a step-up role.

• A track record you can walk us through: units, gross, and how you got there

• Someone who develops salespeople rather than just closing over them

• Strong CRM and process discipline

• Comfortable with the hours a manager's job requires, and steady under a busy Saturday

• Valid driver's license
