Harbor Chevrolet has been Loving Long Beach Since 1923. We are right around the corner from our 100th Anniversary and we are looking for the right people to join our team.
To celebrate our 100th year, we are also building all new state-of-the-art facilities for both Chevrolet & Hyundai. We are so excited to share these facilities with our team and customers. A facility to match our rich history!
We are a family owned and operated GOLDEN RULE DEALERSHIP (We Treat Others the Way We Would Want to Be Treated). One of our core values is “HIRE NICE PEOPLE.” Our family culture is VERY IMPORTANT to us, and it will be protected. If this describes you and the environment you would thrive in, please continue…
We also offer unmatched OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADVANCEMENT, and we generally always promote from within. We are a career opportunity / oriented dealership and have many testimonies we can share about co-worker promotions, pay advancement and length of employment.
We are looking for Champions to join our teams. We have a large vehicle inventory, and our business is growing (we have more leads than we can currently handle).
We are currently hiring for:
Chevrolet New & Used Internet Sales
Hyundai New & Used Internet Sales
Our Golden Rule Salespeople are more like Tour Guides or Customer Service Ninja’s than traditional pushy car people (No Sharks on our Showroom). They assist Internet, Phone and On Lot customers with the investigation, presentation, demonstration, and negotiation of our automobiles. We work in a virtually fail proof team selling system and will team you up with layers of support (dedicated mentor/team leader) to help you every step of the way; to train, motivate, encourage, support, and serve you and your clients.
We offer unmatched opportunity for advancement in a fast paced and fun work environment (we generally always promote from within). This is a career opportunity for the right individual. Please read this entire description before applying – this is NOT an entry level position.
We run an activity-based dealership. We don’t come to work to wait, we come to work to work. We generate tons of leads via the internet, social media, lead generation and lead acquisition. You will get your fair share of these leads plus get to participate in the rich history of Harbor Repeat and Referral business. If you follow our proven process and work our proven systems, you will achieve above average results in our industry.
The “secret sauce” to our success in retaining happy co-workers is not just our pay-plans, but our work schedule. Normally you get a great pay-plan or a great work schedule; we offer BOTH! Our salespeople are scheduled off for a 3-Day weekend every other week (off Friday, Saturday and Sunday every other week). Yes, you read that correctly. When we say we value family, we back it up with our work schedules and pay-plans.
We can teach you automotive product knowledge and communication skills, but we cannot teach talent, energy, positive attitude, character, and drive (we can help bring this out of you if you have it inside). We will provide you with the tools, support and training it takes to be successful. You will need to supply the “get up and go” – the positive attitude and the work ethic.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR? WHO SUCCEEDS?
We have a proven track record with many types of people from many backgrounds, education, and experience levels. We have two specialties:
FIRST: Those with No Experience in the auto industry. We have an amazing environment that puts the customer first and it can sometimes be hard to “convert” those with automotive experience. In a perfect world, we have the best results with those with experience in/as: Restaurant Servers, Hospitality, Call Center, or Retail Sales (Electronics, Mattress, Shoes, Apparel, Etc.). We don’t require any specific amount of education, but sometimes education helps us fast track certain co-workers into leadership. We also love and support our military and encourage x-military members to apply.
SECOND: Those who worked for another dealership but always thought to themselves “there has to be a better way to do this.” If this is you, then we need to talk. However, if you loved the car business at “the other place” (making fun of customers, hurting people, cussing, and complaining about your customers), then please don’t apply!
