Used Vehicle Acquisition Specialist - Group 1 Toyota Bowie
About The Position
Group 1 Toyota Bowie is seeking a Used Vehicle Acquisition Specialist to join their team. This role is crucial for growing the dealership's pre-owned vehicle inventory by engaging with customers who are already visiting the dealership for service. The specialist will connect with these customers through follow-up calls and in-person conversations to identify opportunities with customers interested in selling or trading their current vehicle. The primary focus is on creating interest, building rapport, and ensuring a positive customer experience. This is not a traditional sales position; once a customer expresses interest in purchasing or trading, the specialist will transition them to a Sales team member to continue the process.
