Brown Motors is hiring a BDC Manager to build and run our Sales and Service Business Development Center in Petoskey.

This is not a seat where you inherit someone else's process. We are bringing our Sales BDC in-house from an outsourced provider, and you are the person who builds it. You will set the standards, hire into them, and own the results.

It is also a working manager job, and we mean that. You will lead two BDC Representatives and you will personally work leads, answer calls and set appointments alongside them. If you want a seat where you only read reports, this is not it.

Schedule: Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. No nights, no Sundays.

What we offer:

Base salary plus a documented performance pay plan, with total earnings in the $55,000 to $68,000 range depending on department results. Production pay on appointments shown, vehicles delivered, completed service visits, mobile service, and pick-up and delivery. Monthly KPI bonus up to $750 and monthly customer-satisfaction bonus up to $300. Medical, dental and vision. Paid time off and paid holidays. 401(k). Employee discounts on vehicles, parts and service. You will get the full pay plan in writing before you accept, not after.

About us:

Brown Motors is a family-owned Ford and Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership in Petoskey, Michigan. We have been part of this community for decades and we hire people we intend to keep. If you have run a BDC and been frustrated that nobody would let you actually build it, come talk to us.
