In short, we care deeply about our Crew Members and have designed employee-centric programs that reflect this.\nAt TrueCar, we believe in the power of diversity to create a deeper understanding of our consumers and partners, driving innovation in our products.

channel conflict and sharpen your approach.\nPitch Development & Market Intelligence: Build customized proposal decks, competitive analyses, and OEM-specific market data that convey TrueCar's value proposition to General Managers, Executive Managers, and Franchise Group Leadership.\nCampaign & Cadence Execution: Build and optimize outbound sequence cadences and cold-outreach templates using modern sales tech.\nInbound Lead Qualification & Discovery: Rapidly qualify inbound franchised dealer inquiries, identify key decision-makers, and run high-value discovery meetings.\nUpsell & Expansion: Partner with DPMs to identify and close product upsell opportunities within existing franchised accounts.\nCRM & Data Hygiene: Maintain meticulous Salesforce records, tracking account penetration, contact matrices, open pipeline stages, and outreach cadence analytics.\nContract & Deal Execution: Draft commercial agreements, structure custom deal terms, and coordinate with Legal and Operations to accelerate deal close.\nOnboarding & Hand-off: Ensure seamless handoffs of closed-won franchised accounts to DPMs, Account Management, and Operations to guarantee swift product implementation and dealer activation.\nYour Expertise:\n2+ years of experience in inside sales, sales development (SDR/BDR), or full-cycle B2B sales in SaaS, digital marketplaces, advertising, or automotive technology.\nDemonstrated history of phone/email prospecting, outbound lead generation, and running client discovery within B2B environments.\nProven ability to turn complex product capabilities and market data into simple, client-ready pitch decks and proposals.\nTrack record of working effectively alongside field sales and account management counterparts on shared territories.\nDeep proficiency with Salesforce and modern sales tools (e.g., Outreach, Salesloft, Gong, LinkedIn Sales Navigator).\nUnderstanding of franchised dealership operations, OEM dynamics,
