Job Description
Build a Career, Not Just a Job
Mankato Motor Company is growing, and we're looking for people-people — not car people. If you've got a track record of hustle, integrity, and connecting with customers in retail, restaurants, hospitality, insurance, financial services, coaching, or the military, we want to talk to you.
No automotive sales background needed. We'll teach you the car business. What we can't teach is work ethic, coachability, and how to make someone feel taken care of — if you've already got that, you're exactly who we're looking for.
What you'll get:
- A structured, paid training program covering product knowledge, our sales process, and the tools you'll use every day
- A mentor from our current sales team for your first 90 days
- Pay starts as hourly through training. Once advancement is achieved, pay is a guarantee with a performance pay based on volume and customer satisfaction. Not commission based.
- Real earning potential once ramped — our top consultants earn well above what people assume is possible in this industry
- A clear path forward: top trainees move into full sales consultant roles, and from there into leadership as we grow across our Chevrolet, Nissan, and Volkswagen brands
What you'll do:
- Learn our 14-step Road to the Sale and apply it with real customers, with support
- Greet and guide customers through the buying experience — no cold calling, no pressure tactics
- Build product knowledge across our brand lineup
- Learn our CRM and inventory tools so you're set up to succeed long after training ends
What we're looking for:
- A strong work ethic and a genuine interest in people
- Prior experience in any customer-facing or goal-driven role (retail, hospitality, insurance, food service, military, coaching, etc.)
- Reliability, coachability, and a willingness to learn a new industry
- A valid driver's license and a clean driving record
Why Mankato Motor Company: We're a local, multi-brand dealership group that's been part of this community for years. We believe in doing right by our customers and investing in our people — that's not a tagline, it's how we train and how we promote from within.
Ready to build something real? Apply today and tell us about a time you turned a skeptical customer into a loyal one — in any job you've had.
