  • Coordinate with Parts & Service departments to deliver a seamless ownership experience.
  • Maintain an organized, clean, and welcoming showroom environment.

A Day in the Life of a Sales Associate

Morning: Review new arrivals, ensure the showroom floor is ready, and follow up on leads from the previous day. Greet walk-in riders and learn about their goals—whether they’re shopping for their first ATV or a high-performance motorcycle.

Midday: Guide riders through test-fits and product comparisons, explain financing or trade-in options, and collaborate with the PAC department to add accessories or gear to their purchase.

Afternoon: Finalize deals, complete paperwork, and schedule deliveries. Before wrapping up, follow up with past customers to check in and encourage referrals or repeat business.

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills with a rider-first mindset.
  • Passion for powersports with knowledge of motorcycles, ATVs, or UTVs (training provided).
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced setting.
  • Positive, motivated attitude with a drive to exceed goals.
  • Comfortable with point-of-sale systems and financial paperwork.
  • Flexible schedule, including weekends and peak dealership hours.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary Range: $40,000 – $65,000 per year (base + commissions & performance incentives).
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • 401(k) with employer match.
