What is a dealer account manager?

A dealer account manager works for an automotive dealership or for companies that provide services to auto dealerships, such as vendors and financial institutions. As a dealer account manager, your job duties are to consult with clients, develop and maintain client relationships, and manage multiple client accounts. Your responsibilities include providing customer service, following up on new leads, preparing and negotiating contracts, and closing sales. If you work directly for an auto dealership, your duties as a dealer account manager center on finance and insurance. Your primary focus is to help sales associates and clients find and prepare for the best financing options.
