Automotive Sales Manager

About the role

Automotive Sales Manager at Daniels Long Chevrolet in Colorado Springs, Colorado. As an Automotive Sales Manager, you'll steer dealership sales execution and keep the team aligned to unit, gross, and expense targets. This role exists to develop talent, tighten process, and drive predictable performance while protecting customer experience.

Your morning starts with quick check-ins on yesterday's numbers and what's pacing for the month, then a fast huddle to align priorities and remove roadblocks. Midday is spent on the floor and in the office reviewing deal structure details, keeping communication crisp between departments, and staying available for coaching moments that improve consistency. You'll carve out time to scan market signals and reporting trends, then pivot the team's focus as needed. Later, you'll connect on inventory and program status, plan ahead for upcoming deliveries and New Owner Clinics, and wrap with notes that keep tomorrow moving.
