Job description

An excellent opportunity for an experienced sales professional, with the drive and ambition to further their career progression, has arisen. This is your chance to join one of the largest family-owned dealership groups in the North West, with a sustained and energetic programme of growth. Our culture is entrepreneurial and fast paced, and our vision is simple: to have our customers at the heart of all we do. As a company with a culture of promoting from within, your opportunities are endless.

If you are confident, courteous, considerate, highly organised and revel in success…..then we want to talk to you. Great customer service is what we are all about. Can you help us deliver it?We are not shy to admit that the motor trade has changed over recent years. And so have our customers’ expectations—and ours too.

We want proven, motivated sales professionals who are ready to take the next step in their career. You’ll already know how to exceed customer expectations, build long-term relationships, and consistently deliver on your promises. Now, we’ll support you in developing those skills further while also training you towards a future management role within our business.

You’ll be confident and engaging face to face, on the telephone and across video platforms. An ability to connect with customers through social media would be an advantage too, helping to bring even more personality and presence to our dealership. Strong written communication will help you influence and sell via email, and being highly organised is essential—our customers expect it, and rightly so.

Your passion for vehicles will already shine through in your customer interactions. We want you to use that passion to inspire others, both customers and colleagues. A full clean driving licence is required, as first-hand product knowledge is key to building trust and credibility.

Alongside sales success, you’ll benefit from structured development opportunities, including Product Familiarisation Seminars, external and internal training, and a clear pathway into management. Earnings are uncapped—the harder you work, the greater your rewards—while you also build towards a leadership future.

You must hold a full clean UK driving licence.

The highlights:

• Good basic salary (dependent on experience) with uncapped earning potential
• 23 days holiday plus bank holidays, increasing by one day every 5 years
• Company pension after 3 months
• Uniform provided
• Car benefit scheme available after 6 months if criteria met
• On and off-site ongoing training and development provided
• Monthly employee competitions and prizes
