What is a professional listener?

A Professional Listener is someone who provides a safe, nonjudgmental space for others to talk and be heard. They actively listen, offer emotional support, and help people process their thoughts without giving advice or therapy. This role is often sought by those who need to express themselves without fear of criticism. It can be used in personal, professional, or emotional contexts. Professional Listeners may work independently or through listening services.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a professional listener?

To excel as a Professional Listener, one needs exceptional active listening abilities, strong interpersonal communication skills, and often a background in counseling, psychology, or social work. Familiarity with case management databases, note-taking tools, and sometimes certification in mental health first aid or peer support training are commonly beneficial. High emotional intelligence, patience, and the ability to maintain confidentiality help individuals stand out in this position. These skills ensure trust-building, effective support, and ethical practice while managing sensitive conversations.

What are some of the common challenges faced by professional listeners, and how are they typically addressed?

A common challenge for Professional Listeners is managing emotional fatigue or compassion fatigue, as the role involves regularly hearing about clients' stressful or distressing experiences. To address this, many organizations offer regular supervision, peer support groups, and access to mental health resources to support the listener’s well-being. Another challenge is maintaining clear boundaries and professionalism, for which ongoing training and adherence to established protocols are crucial. Emphasizing self-care and setting realistic expectations helps Professional Listeners sustain their effectiveness and avoid burnout in this rewarding but emotionally demanding role.

How much do professional listeners make?

Professional listeners typically earn between $10 and $20 per hour, depending on the employer, location, and experience. Some roles may offer fixed salaries or freelance opportunities with variable pay rates, often requiring strong communication skills and active listening abilities.

Job description

Considering a career with Ken Garff Automotive Group means you are in for a great ride (excuse the car metaphor)! We're not your standard dealership or group of dealerships and we are pretty darn proud of that. We are out to do things differently and want to consistently change, grow, and progress. For that reason, our employees are proud of where they work!
Dewey Dodge, a Ken Garff Automotive Dealership, is currently looking for a Sales Advisor that aligns with our core values and acts with respect, integrity, growth, humility and teamwork.
It's your passion for helping others and natural ability at building great relationships that makes you successful in sales. You are a naturally persuasive individual able to motivate others and you prefer fast-paced work and lots of customer interaction. These work activities and environments energize you! Because you're good at handling details quickly, correctly, and efficiently, you manage multiple customer relationships and their respective needs exceptionally well.
Looking for:
  • Friendly and cooperative demeanor; quick to connect and build relationships with others
  • Easygoing, uninhibited, and comfortable working with others
  • Persuasive with a strong drive for results
  • Tolerant of uncertainty
  • Prior experience in sales or customer service preferred
  • Must be 18 years or older and be authorized to work in the U.S with a valid in-state driver's license and a good driving record, per company standards
  • High School Diploma or equivalent

Why you'll love working with us:
  • Competitive compensation package and 401k with company match
  • Wellness Time Off, plus holidays, plus a Personal Purpose Day
  • Medical, Dental, Vision, Disability Insurance, AD&D and Life Insurance
  • Flex Spending, Health Savings Account, EAP, Wellness Plan, Mental Health Support, Diabetes Management Program, and Parental Leave Stipend
  • Year-end bonus program for ALL employees (Garff Giveback)
  • Employee discounts on vehicle purchase, parts, service and more!

What you'll do as a Sales Professional:
  • Enthusiastically lead customers through their sales journey
  • Professionally represent the dealership and maintain high customer satisfaction via frequent and friendly follow-up
  • Respond to and communicate with potential prospects (web lead, phone lead, store lead)
  • Frequent training to develop sales skills and product knowledge

At first glance, there's nothing remarkable at Ken Garff. Our uniforms aren't flashy, and our buildings look a lot like the competition. You may not see it right at first, but if you listen, you'll hear. Because listening isn't just something we do; it's part of who we are. It's how we show that what we absolutely value the most (far more than buildings, uniforms or cars) is our people. And we thrive on treating them right. We listen because we believe listening matters. We're just different that way.
Will you join us as a new Sales Professional? Will you throw your energy and focus behind what we're doing? Will you live our values and do things differently than you've ever done them? Will you listen and build trust and foster relationships? This organization, that started as an idea by a man named Ken Garff way back in 1932, needs one thing to keep its vision intact and its purpose of reinventing an industry moving forward. It needs you.
