Vehicle Marketplace Acquisition Specialist Bidbus, Inc Irvine, CA Job Details Full-time $2,000 a month 7 hours ago Benefits Health insurance Dental insurance 401(k) Opportunities for advancement Qualifications Objection handling (sales technique) Sales negotiation Sourcing Phone communication Social media platforms Full Job Description About the Role Bidbus is hiring an experienced automotive acquisition professional to source pre-owned vehicles directly from private sellers. This is not an entry-level BDC or traditional dealership sales role. We are looking for a high-performing producer with a proven track record of finding, engaging, and converting private sellers through Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, social media, and other online channels. What You'll Do Source private-party vehicles through Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, social media, and online classifieds. Reach out to sellers by phone, text, and direct message. Build trust, uncover seller motivation, and overcome objections. Verify VIN, mileage, ownership, title status, payoff, condition, and pricing expectations. Convert qualified sellers into completed Bidbus vehicle listings. Maintain consistent follow-up and manage a high-volume pipeline. Enter accurate seller and vehicle information into the CRM. Meet weekly and monthly acquisition and conversion goals. Track results by sourcing channel and continuously improve performance. What We're Looking For Proven private-party vehicle acquisition experience. Verifiable monthly acquisition or listing production. Strong experience using Facebook Marketplace and similar sourcing platforms. Strong automotive valuation, negotiation, and objection-handling skills. Familiarity with CARFAX, AutoCheck, Kelley Blue Book, MMR, Black Book, or vAuto. Understanding of vehicle titles, liens, payoffs, and condition disclosures. Strong phone, text, and written communication skills. Competitive, organized, accountable, and results-driven. Comfortable working full-time from our Costa Mesa corporate office. Traditional dealership sales experience alone does not qualify. Direct private-party vehicle sourcing experience is required. Compensation and Opportunity $2,000 monthly base during the initial 60-day ramp period. Uncapped commission for every completed vehicle acquisition. Estimated annual compensation of $72,000-$146,000 based on target production. Additional earning potential for exceptional producers. Opportunity to help build and grow Bidbus' private-party acquisition department. Advancement opportunities as Bidbus expands into additional markets. OTE is based on performance and is not guaranteed. How to Apply Please submit your résumé along with brief answers to the following: Which platforms have you used to source private sellers? What was your average monthly vehicle acquisition or listing production? What was your best production month? What was your approximate contact-to-acquisition conversion rate? Applicants who cannot demonstrate direct private-party vehicle sourcing experience will not be considered. Bidbus is an equal opportunity employer. Benefits 401(k) Dental insurance Health insurance
