Outside Sales / Business Development Representative

Kernersville, NC & the Triad

Automotive or Fleet Experience is not Required.

PTO Awarded Day One

Build relationships. Open doors. Help local businesses keep moving.

Do you enjoy meeting new people, starting conversations, and turning introductions into lasting business relationships? Parks Chevrolet Kernersville is looking for an outgoing, resourceful professional to grow our commercial and fleet business throughout the Triad.

You'll spend most of your workday traveling throughout your territory and visiting local businesses, connecting with owners, managers, fleet operators, and other decision-makers. Cold visits, outbound calls, and consistent follow-up are central to this position.

Your primary responsibility is to generate interest, understand customer needs, and develop qualified opportunities. When a business is ready to explore a vehicle purchase, you'll introduce the customer to a sales professional and help make that transition smooth.

You'll also introduce businesses to the broader value of working with us: commercial service, fleet body and collision repairs, wholesale parts, and access to multiple vehicle brands. Every conversation is an opportunity to become a useful business contact, even when a customer isn't ready to buy a vehicle.

Alongside your field outreach, you'll help build awareness by creating and appearing in social media content that connects our commercial and fleet offerings with the local business community.
