Sales Manager

 

ABOUT METHUEN CDJR 

Methuen CDJR — part of The Best Automotive Group — is opening a brand-new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram dealership in the heart of the Merrimack Valley, and we’re building the leadership team from the ground up. We are an established, family-oriented automotive group with a strong reputation for integrity, professionalism, and outstanding customer service throughout the region. 

Our reputation is built on being easy to do business with, honest in every interaction, and focused on creating a pressure-free experience for every customer. What makes us different is our people — accessible, knowledgeable, accountable, and committed to doing things the right way. 

 

ABOUT THE ROLE 

We’re hiring an experienced Sales Manager to lead the sales floor at our new Methuen CDJR location. You will desk deals, coach and develop salespeople, drive volume and gross, and own the customer experience from first contact to delivery. This is a leadership seat for an operator who knows how to build a culture, run a process, and put numbers on the board — week in and week out. 

Compensation: $85,000–$150,000 per year, paid weekly (base + commission/bonus on volume, gross, and CSI). Top of the range goes to proven CDJR sales leaders who can hit the ground running. 

 

RESPONSIBILITIES 

• Desk and structure deals to maximize gross while protecting CSI and customer experience 

• Lead, coach, and develop the sales team — daily one-on-ones, save-a-deals, and floor saves 

• Drive new and used vehicle sales volume to meet or exceed monthly forecast and manufacturer targets 

• Own the sales process end-to-end: meet-and-greet, write-up, T.O., desk, and delivery 

• Manage inventory mix, aging, and turn in partnership with the GM and Used Car Manager 

• Build a high-performing culture grounded in accountability, training, and follow-through 

• Partner with Finance to ensure clean, compliant deals and strong product penetration 

• Recruit, hire, and onboard new salespeople — build the bench 

• Hit and exceed manufacturer stair-step and bonus programs 

 

QUALIFICATIONS 

• 3+ years of automotive Sales Manager experience required — this is not an entry-level seat 

• CDJR / Mopar dealership leadership experience strongly preferred 

• Proven track record of hitting volume and gross targets in a high-volume store 

• Strong desking skills with deep understanding of payments, finance structures, and manufacturer programs 

• Demonstrated ability to coach, develop, and retain a sales team 

• Proficiency with dealership CRM and DMS (Dealertrack, CDK, VinSolutions, Reynolds, or similar) 

• Excellent leadership, communication, and follow-through skills 

• Process-driven leader who runs the day — not the other way around 

• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record 

 

WHY JOIN OUR TEAM 

You’re stepping into a brand-new store with new inventory, modern technology, and a leadership team that backs its people. We invest in our managers through manufacturer leadership programs, dealer-level training, and clear paths to GSM and GM. Paid weekly. Aggressive comp plan. The seat is open — bring the team that wants to win.
