Regional Sales Manager NW

Overview

Regional Sales Manager NW

Zero Motorcycles is looking for a sales manager to drive the growth of our brand throughout the Northwestern US and Western Canada.

We love motorcycles and motorcyclists of all types, but if you’re someone who shuns fuel injection, ABS, traction control, electric start, and other modern innovations in favor of an old-school carburetor and kick starter, this may not be your dream job.

If, however, you’re a rider and motorcycle enthusiast who appreciates not just where our industry has been but also where it’s going, keep reading.

This is a highly visible sales support and dealer development position that requires extensive travel (we’ll provide you with a van filled with demo motorcycles and accessories to hit the road).

At certain times of the year, you will travel up to three or four nights per week with occasional weekend travel for events.

You’ll need a valid driver’s license with a motorcycle endorsement with a good driving record and a valid passport.

You will be the primary point of contact between Zero Motorcycles and dealerships in your assigned region so it’s important that you know your way around a powersports dealership, have a thorough understanding of sales processes, and a commitment to excellent customer service.

Prior experience working in the powersports industry and / or a dealership is strongly preferred and would be a significant advantage.

Absent that experience, you would have to make a very compelling case for why you should be considered.

Key Responsibilities

You will work closely with colleagues in Sales, Dealer Development, Customer Experience, and Dealer Marketing to accomplish your region’s objectives.

It’s a big job. Fundamental to your success will be expertise with all things Zero Motorcycles (we will train you), powersports industry knowledge and insight, and a proven ability to negotiate and close sales.

• Work in partnership with dealership staff to accomplish wholesale and retail sales goals
• Build and sustain long-term relationships with key dealership staff through on-site visits, regular communication, responsiveness to questions or concerns, and follow through

• Identify, evaluate, and recruit new dealers in designated markets in partnership with Dealer Development
• Conduct sales and product training with dealership staff as necessary throughout the year
