Job description

Description

High-Earning Sales Opportunity | Top Performers Earn $180,000–$250,000+

This Is a Sales Career for Proven Producers

Boater's World Marine Centers is looking for an experienced, high-performing Sales Consultant to join our Bradenton team.

We're not looking for someone who simply wants to "try sales."

We're looking for a proven salesperson who knows how to build relationships, manage a pipeline, follow up relentlessly, overcome objections, ask for the sale, and close high-value transactions.

For the right salesperson, this is a serious earning opportunity.

Our strongest sales professionals are realistically earning $180,000–$250,000+ annually based on individual performance. This is a performance-driven sales environment with significant income potential for people who know how to sell.

Marine industry experience is valuable, but proven sales ability matters most. Successful candidates may come from marine, automotive, RV, powersports, luxury retail, real estate, home improvement, or another high-ticket sales environment.

If you already know how to sell, we'll help you learn the boats.

What Success Looks Like

Our successful Sales Consultants don't wait around for someone to walk through the door.

They build their own business.

You'll be expected to develop relationships, respond quickly to leads, maintain consistent follow-up, prospect for new opportunities, understand your inventory, use social media and digital tools, and create reasons for customers to buy from you.

The people who succeed here are competitive, motivated, organized, coachable, and driven by results.

You'll have the opportunity to sell new and pre-owned boats while representing a growing marine dealership organization with significant inventory and resources behind you.

This Role Is Built for Someone Who
