More About the Job and Company
Specializing in the consignment and sales of collector vehicles, Streetside Classics is the Nations #1 classic car dealership. We currently have showrooms in Charlotte, NC, Atlanta, GA, Fort Worth, TX, Nashville, TN, Phoenix, AZ, and Tampa, FL, with future growth expected. We’re searching for a strong leader to manage the Phoenix showroom.
Our Phoenix facility holds approximately 250 classic and collector vehicles, and our sales team is responsible for ensuring they continue to grow and expand their knowledge about each car in our inventory, as well as market trends as a whole. With classic cars, each vehicle is unique and our relationship with our consignors is also integral to our success—therefore we need people who can get to know each customer just as well as the products they’re selling. We sell approximately 40 units from our Phoenix showroom every month, and the sales manager is responsible for ensuring, maintaining and potentially increasing that performance. Performance goals are met on a team basis rather than individually; we approach the sales process much differently than a typical car dealership.
If you have a passion for classic collectable vehicles, or even just a casual interest in them but have excellent communication skills then you can excel. We can teach you the nuts and bolts of the collector car industry but you must have excellent people skills, and be coachable in order to succeed with our company.
