Job description

Consumer Sales Consultant

About the Role

More than a typical Sales Role

A job in sales can be tough for some people, but at the Lou Fusz Automotive Network we aren’t looking for just some people. Instead, we are looking for people who understand that successful sales are about ‘relationships’ with customers and their teammates. To our point, we are looking for people who want to make real contributions as part of the Fusz Team.

We are actively hiring a group of people who are willing to learn ways to better understand how to use their emotional intelligence, their product knowledge, and our advanced technologies and processes to make every customer a ‘customer for life’ by delivering the most enjoyable buying and ownership experience possible. And to enjoy doing this all the while contributing to their own personal success as well as that of the Network.

At the Lou Fusz Automotive Network, we now have the capability to offer our customers the simplest, most effective way to buy a car using the Fusz innovative sales processes and technologies. We need just the ‘right’ people who enjoy continuously learning, who enjoy working in a great environment, and who will enjoy great opportunities for personal and team success and advancement with our Company.

And to make sure that our newest sales team members have the greatest opportunity to succeed, we are going to guarantee each of them $3,000 per month for the first three months of the job while they get up to speed, find their place on the Fusz Team, and learn the Fusz processes and technologies.

If you have the relational skill sets and the determination we are looking for, but aren’t necessarily experienced in automotive sales, we have the training and development programs in place to help you succeed at our Network. Many of our great salespeople have come from different backgrounds such as industrial or manufacturing sales, retail sales, Business-to-Business (B2B), restaurant servers and bartenders, cell phone sales, inside and insurance sales, and even rental car counter associates, just to name a few.

So, bring your dedication, passion, energy, and experience, and we’ll give you the training, support, and encouragement you need to succeed.
