Job Description

  • Sales Consultant – No Experience Necessary

    At Pauli Ford, we don't just sell cars; we build relationships. As a second-generation, family-owned business serving the Lansing area since 1984, we’ve maintained a 4.8/5.0 Google rating by being different. Our philosophy is simple: We’ll give you all the information you need, the first time you ask. We are looking for individuals who care more about people than "the pitch." Whether you’ve been in sales for years or are looking for a fresh start, if you have the drive and fit our culture, we want you on the team.

    What You’ll Do:

    • Manage Your Business: You’ll hunt for new leads while participating in our fair-share dealership lead rotation.

    • Be the Expert: Provide transparent information to customers (the "first time they ask") to help them make the best choice.

    • Build a Following: Success is measured by units sold, but just as importantly, by how your customers feel about you.

    The Compensation & Benefits:

    • Earnings: Base salary + Commission. Realistic first-year earnings of $50,000 – $70,000, with top performers surpassing $100,000.

    • Support: Medical, 401k, and PTO.

    • Environment: A stable, family-owned atmosphere where you aren't just a number.

    What We’re Looking For:

    • High energy and a "team-first" attitude.

    • A commitment to honesty and transparency.

    • No automotive experience required—we hire for character and train for skill.

Requirements:

    • Growth Mindset: A self-motivated, goal-oriented, and enthusiastic presence. We hire for character and train for skill.

    • Communication & Honesty: Strong written and verbal communication skills with a commitment to providing transparent information "the first time it’s asked."

    • People First: Excellent customer service and organizational skills; you should enjoy building long-term relationships.

    • Team Player: A "team-first" attitude that fits our collaborative family-owned culture.

    • The Essentials: Valid driver’s license and a clean driving record.

    • Professionalism: Ability to pass a background check and drug test.

We are an equal opportunity employer and prohibit discrimination/harassment without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.
