Group 1 Bob Howard Honda is looking for a Used Vehicle Acquisition Specialist to join our team. The Used Vehicle Acquisition Specialist role is to help grow our pre-owned vehicle inventory by engaging with customers already visiting our dealership for service.
In this role, you will connect with service customers through follow-up calls and in-person conversations to identify potential opportunities for customers who may be interested in selling or trading their current vehicle. You will focus on creating interest, building rapport, and providing a positive customer experience. This is not a traditional vehicle sales position. Once a customer expresses interest in purchasing or trading into another vehicle, you will introduce and transition the customer to a member of our Sales team to continue the process.
