WHO WE ARE:

For 80 years, Perkins Motors has been an integral part of the Colorado Springs region, and we take pride in giving back to our community. At Perkins Motors, we are committed to providing a hassle-free, stress-free environment with the one-on-one attention our customers deserve.

Our mission is to create raving fans of every customer by providing an exceptional experience in an honest and uncompromising manner.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

As an Internet Sales Professional, you will be a motivated, competitive, and customer-focused professional who wants more than a traditional automotive sales position. This is not a traditional BDC or appointment-setting role.

You will not simply respond to a lead, schedule an appointment, and hand the customer off to someone else. As an Internet Sales Professional, you will own the complete customer journey—from the first online inquiry through vehicle selection, presentation, demonstration, negotiation, financing handoff, delivery, and post-sale follow-up.

You will receive opportunities from customers who are actively shopping for our new and pre-owned inventory. Your responsibility is to turn that digital interest into a genuine relationship, an exceptional buying experience, and a completed sale. You will help launch and grow this team.

• Respond promptly and professionally to inbound internet leads, phone calls, text messages, emails, chats, and other digital inquiries.
