About Profile

This candidate is a highly ambitious automotive sales professional with nearly 10 years’ experience across new and used car sales within both prestige and volume dealership environments. Their background combines consistently high sales performance with strong finance knowledge, excellent customer service standards and a clear progression towards senior management within the motor trade.

Currently operating within a successful main dealer sales environment, they have built a strong reputation for delivering excellent customer satisfaction, strong finance performance and consistently high vehicle sales volumes. Their experience includes handling their own finance proposals, payouts and deal structuring while maintaining excellent compliance and customer experience standards throughout the sales process.

A major strength is their commercial awareness and willingness to take on additional responsibility beyond a traditional Sales Executive role. Throughout their career they have regularly supported new starters, assisted management with training and helped guide less experienced colleagues to improve overall team performance and customer service standards.

They are highly experienced within both new and used vehicle operations and have developed strong understanding across finance products, FCA regulations, customer qualification and part exchange valuations. Their self-sufficient approach and ability to manage deals independently have helped build excellent confidence within finance processes and profitability management.

Their background also includes consistently high F&I penetration, strong customer retention and experience handling large sales volumes within busy automotive retail environments. Alongside this, they are highly organised, target-driven and motivated by progression into a Business or Transaction Manager role.

Professional, energetic and career-focused, they are now looking for an opportunity where they can continue developing into senior automotive management while supporting dealership sales and finance performance.
