Commercial Vehicle Sales Professional | Elmhurst Ford Truck Center | Bensenville, IL in BENSENVILLE, Illinois at Elmhurst Ford

Sell Trucks. Work 9 to 6. Get Your Life Back.

If you’ve spent years closing deals on Super Duties, Transits, and chassis cabs and you’re tired of working bell to bell six days a week, keep reading. Maybe you’re grinding every day but your store never has the inventory to back you up, or maybe the commercial side of the business is an afterthought for your current dealer and you’re the only one who seems to care about it. At Elmhurst Ford, commercial is a priority, we stock the trucks and vans to prove it, and we need a hammer who can walk into a contractor’s yard or a fleet manager’s office and walk out with an order. This is a sales role, plain and simple, and your job is to move metal to businesses that run on trucks.

You’ll be selling with a real advantage behind you. Elmhurst Ford is already moving more than 300 new and used units a month, and our Ford Pro Elite expansion is adding 24 more bays to our 24 bay Commercial Vehicle Center. Combined with our 34 bay retail service shop, that gives us 82 service bays and makes Elmhurst Ford the largest Ford service operation and the highest volume new and used Ford dealership in Illinois. When a business owner asks who is going to keep their trucks running after the sale, you’ll have the best answer in the state, and that makes closing a whole lot easier.

What you’ll do

• Prospect, close, and grow commercial accounts with contractors, municipalities, utilities, landscapers, delivery operators, and any business that buys trucks and vans

• Sell new Ford Super Duty, Transit, E Series, F 600 and up, and upfit units, plus used commercial vehicles of every make and type, from box trucks and cargo vans to dumps, stake beds, and service bodies, whether it’s a single work truck or a full fleet order

• Spec every unit the right way, including bodies, upfits, GVWR, payload, and towing, so the customer gets a truck that does the job and comes back to you for the next one

• Sit across the table from owners and fleet decision makers and sell on uptime and total cost of ownership, not just monthly payment

• Run your entire pipeline in our CRM so every call, quote, and follow up is tracked and nothing falls through the cracks

What we’re looking for

• Proven commercial or fleet truck sales experience, with numbers you’re proud to show us

• Real knowledge of Ford trucks and vans, the upfit world, and the used commercial market across all brands

• Assertiveness. You pick up the phone, you knock on the door, and you ask for the order

• Comfort working a CRM every day. This job is run in the 21st century, so if your system is a Rolodex and a stack of business cards, this isn’t the spot for you

• The polish to deal with business owners and executives at a high level

Already a manager? Read this twice.

If you’re in management today and you’re tired of your income depending on everyone else’s effort, this is your chance to bet on yourself. Your deals, your accounts, your paycheck, and you get your evenings and weekends back while you do it.

What you get

• A 9 to 6 schedule, five days a week. Dinner with your family is part of the plan here

• Pay: $100,000 to $180,000 annually ($100,000 guaranteed base salary plus uncapped commission)

• Benefits: [health, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO, demo, etc.]

• A dealership group run on a hospitality model, where we believe our people are the reason we win and we act like it

• Ownership that is on the floor, accessible, and invested in growing the commercial side of this business
