Who you are (our profile for success)

• Adaptable. You thrive when no two days look the same — different customers, tasks, and roads keep you energized, not overwhelmed.
• Automotive-minded. You're comfortable in a dealership environment and at ease around cars, car culture, and the people who live it.
• Hands-on and mechanically capable. You approach technical challenges the way a DIYer would — curious, confident, and willing to figure it out.
• A natural connector. You don't hesitate to introduce yourself and talk through how your services solve a customer's problem.
• Pioneering. You take pride in developing and owning your route, nurturing your accounts, and watching the relationships you've built turn into lasting business.
• Self-directed. You don't need someone looking over your shoulder to stay productive and accountable.

Who you are not (known failure patterns)

• Uncomfortable with strangers. This role requires daily cold and warm outreach to dealership staff, UCMs, and sales managers — reserved or avoidant personalities will find it difficult to succeed.
• Technology-averse. Key programming relies heavily on specialized software. Slow adopters or those limited to basic phone and computer use will struggle to keep up.
• A 9-to-5 mindset. Long days are part of the job. If you need a predictable, desk-bound schedule, this isn't it.
• Sensitive to the elements. You'll work outdoors in all seasons — hot summers and cold winters included. Physical endurance in varying conditions is a must.
• Sales-averse. Closing deals is a core function. If prospecting, pitching, and following up aren't in your comfort zone, this role will be a poor fit.
• Opposed to driving. Your office is your van. Extended time behind the wheel across a defined territory is your daily reality.
• Uncomfortable in a large vehicle. You'll operate a full-size company van as your primary work vehicle — comfort and confidence driving one is non-negotiable.
• Disconnected from automotive work. Tasks like disconnecting batteries, removing panels, and plugging into vehicles for diagnostics are routine. If that sounds foreign or unappealing, this likely isn't the right fit.

Growth opportunity

We're looking for people who are eager to apply and challenge themselves. Ideal candidates are assertive, aggressive self-starters. If you're someone who really "owns" projects at work, is a passionate advocate, who doesn't need supervision to get results—then this company is for you! If you're interested in advancement, ambitious, and show potential, you'll get more responsibility. You may be asked to "wear more than one hat." For those who want to gain a lot of great experience and develop their skill set, this is a rare opportunity.
