Automotive Sales Manager

Ready to Lead, Motivate, and Drive Results?

Are you a Sales Leader with the determination to succeed? Are you tired of dealing with the "corporate handcuffs", endless "bell-to-bell/bust-out" schedules, high-turnover, and never-ending chaos at most dealerships? Do you feel like your full potential is being limited? Have you been passed up for promotions despite your hard work? If you're eager to take the next step in your career, this is your opportunity!

At Palmen Auto Stores, we're a family owned-and-operated business. We've been around nearly 90-years and are now in our 4th-generation of leadership. We’re looking for a high-impact Sales Manager who can boost sales, elevate showroom energy, and inspire a winning team. If you’re a closer who leads with confidence and thrives in a fast-paced environment, we want to hear from you!
