Job Description

Commercial Truck Sales Representative – Ford Dealership (High-Earning Opportunity)

A busy, high-volume Ford Commercial Truck Center with over 50 years of success is expanding — and we’re looking for driven, competitive individuals who want to make serious money.

If you’re hungry, motivated, and ready to win, this is your opportunity to break into a lucrative sales career. No auto sales experience? No problem — we’ll train the right person with the right attitude.

What You Get:

  • Strong base salary + aggressive commission structure
  • Unlimited earning potential — top performers earn big
  • High traffic, established commercial client base
  • Full training and ongoing support
  • Work with a dealership that’s been dominating the market for 50+ years

What We Expect:

  • Relentless work ethic and competitive mindset
  • Confidence talking to business owners and decision-makers
  • Ability to close deals and hit targets
  • Self-starter who wants to outperform the average

Someone coming from HVAC, carpentry, plumbing, or other skilled trades can actually be an excellent fit for commercial truck sales—often better than a traditional salesperson. Here’s why:

1. They already understand the customer
Commercial truck buyers are contractors, fleet managers, and business owners—basically people from the trades. Someone with hands-on experience speaks their language, understands jobsite realities, and knows what matters (payload, upfitting, durability, cost of downtime). That builds instant credibility.

2. Problem-solving mindset
Tradespeople are used to diagnosing problems and finding practical solutions. Sales in a commercial truck department isn’t just “selling a vehicle”—it’s matching the right truck to a customer’s business needs. That’s very similar to figuring out the right HVAC system or plumbing solution.

3. Work ethic and discipline
The trades demand long hours, physical effort, and consistency. That same work ethic translates directly into sales—especially in a performance-driven environment where effort = income.

4. Comfort with tools, specs, and equipment
Commercial trucks aren’t simple retail cars. They involve specs, upfits (racks, bodies, lifts), and technical details. Someone from the trades can quickly grasp these and even educate customers, which gives them a big advantage.

5. Relationship-based business
In the trades, a lot of work comes from repeat customers and referrals. That’s exactly how commercial truck sales works—building a book of business with contractors and companies over time.

6. Desire to increase income without physical strain
Many tradespeople reach a point where they want to earn more without the physical toll. Sales offers a path to leverage their knowledge and relationships into higher income potential.

Benefits

  • 401(k) Plan
  • Vacation & Sick Time
  • Opportunities for advancement
  • Career Development
  • Cross training for other positions
  • Team building lunches

  • Long term employees

Responsibilities

  • Nurture enriching relationships to build clientele for life.
  • Exhibit consultative selling skills. Assist customers in selecting a vehicle by asking questions and listening carefully to their responses.
  • Continuously develop product and sales acumen to become the vehicle authority. Know the in’s and the out’s of product offerings, optional packages, and the latest technologies.
  • Perform high-quality, professional demonstrations of new/used vehicles.
  • Follow-up with buyers to ensure successful referral business.
  • Learn to overcome objections and thrive within sales situations.
  • Report directly to the Sales Manager regarding objectives, planned activities, reviews, and analyses.
  • Bring your ‘A game’ along with a positive attitude to work with you every single day.

Qualifications

  • Available to work flexible hours and weekends
  • Self-starter mentality and ambitious spirit preferred
  • Ready to waste no time on learning new product in’s and out’s, eager to improve
  • Phenomenal communication skills with customers and team members
