As a Parts Sales Representative, you sell automotive parts with a focus on revenue generation. You combine product expertise with sales ability to drive business, whether at the counter or with commercial accounts.
Your day involves active selling and customer development. You might work the counter driving add-on sales, develop commercial accounts, follow up with customers, and build relationships that generate ongoing business.
