This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys building relationships, solving customer problems, and wants a long-term career with uncapped earning potential. No prior truck sales experience is required — we\'ll teach you the industry.

  • Maintain accurate customer and sales records in company systems
  • Prepare sales quotes and assist with sales transactions
  • Learn truck specifications, applications, inventory, financing, and trade evaluations
  • Work alongside experienced sales team members to develop product knowledge and sales skills
• As You Progress Into Whole Unit Sales:

• Manage your own sales and customer accounts
• Appraise trades and assist with inventory acquisition
• Analyze market trends and identify sales opportunities
• Help stock and manage truck inventory
• Coordinate reconditioning estimates and vehicle preparation
• Negotiate and close truck and equipment sales
• Promote Vander Haag's products, services, and support programs
• Work closely with Parts, Service, and other departments to deliver exceptional customer service

What We\'re Looking For:

• Must have a current, valid driver’s license
• Have previous sales, customer service, agriculture, trucking, diesel, equipment, or business experience (helpful but not required)

Hours:

• 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday

Compensation:

• Base salary ($60,000 - $70,000/year). As this position transfers into a full time sales capacity, you will become eligible for ouruncapped sales commission program (paid bi-weekly).
• Vander Haag’s will guarantee your commission during your training period.
