Automotive Sales Manager

Automotive Sales Manager Guthrie, OK

Sales Manager – John Vance Auto Group (Guthrie, OK)

John Vance Auto Group – Guthrie, a family-operated dealership with over 40 years of success, is looking for our next Sales Managerto help lead our sales team to new heights.

First things first:

• Have you worked as a Sales Manager for 5 different dealerships this year? We politely suggest sitting this one out.
• But… if you’ve been crushing it in sales for years, worked hard, and just haven’t been given the chance to step into leadership or if you’re an experienced manager who knows how to inspire you might be exactly who we’re looking for.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead, motivate, and coach our sales team.
• Work with customers and the sales staff to create a winning, customer-first culture.
• Drive sales performance and help the team reach their goals—without losing your sense of humor along the way.
• Ensure processes are followed, deals are structured properly, and everyone leaves happy (yes, even the accountants).
• Build a team culture where people want to stay, grow, and succeed.

What We’re Looking For:

• Prior automotive sales experience is strongly preferred.
• Leadership ability—whether you’ve managed people before, or you’re ready to prove you can.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
• A self-motivated, positive attitude (bonus points if you can get the team laughing during a Monday morning meeting).

Why Join Us?

• Family-owned and operated for 40+ years (we’ve got stability and growth, not revolving doors).
• Competitive pay, commission, and bonus opportunities.
• Full benefits package including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k), and paid time off.
• Employee discounts, paid training, and a supportive environment where your success matters.
• Huge inventory and a product line you can be proud to sell.

Compensation:

Competitive base + bonuses + commission
