About the Role
Ever is building the most transparent, customer-friendly way to buy an electric vehicle: no hidden fees, no negotiation, and a streamlined, online-first buying experience. As Sales Manager for our Costa Mesa showroom, reporting to the General Manager, you’ll lead the sales team and own execution across the full customer funnel, from first lead to delivery. It’s a role for a hands-on leader who runs a high-volume pipeline with precision, urgency and accountability, and who coaches a team to hit its numbers without losing sight of the customer.

- Spot and fix breakdowns in the sales funnel before they become systemic
- Coach consultants on closing, follow-up, objection handling and unit economics, using customer interaction reviews, call recordings and CRM data
- Run regular deal reviews, team meetings and skill sessions on discovery, objection handling and EV education
- Maintain deep knowledge of EVs, Ever’s inventory and financing and protection products, and help the team turn that into confident, customer-friendly guidance
- Oversee inbound and outbound pipeline, holding the Customer Experience team accountable to contact rate, appointment set rate, show rate and fast response times
- Keep lead routing, CRM data and scripting accurate, current and consistently applied
- Work closely with Finance and Operations to move deals forward and quickly resolve blockers affecting delivery timelines
- Partner with pricing and inventory teams to align lead flow and vehicle positioning with team capacity and conversion performance

Preferred Experience
- Leading teams in a one-price, no-negotiation or digital-first retail model (Tesla, Carvana, CarMax, etc.)
