Sales Executive

This candidate is a highly experienced automotive Sales Executive with over 10 years’ experience working within main dealer and specialist automotive sales environments. Their background combines strong showroom sales ability with excellent telephone-based sales experience, making them highly effective at converting enquiries into completed deals and building long-term customer relationships.

They are particularly strong within finance and add-on product sales, with extensive experience selling warranties, ancillary products and structured finance packages alongside vehicle sales. Comfortable working within KPI and target-driven environments, they consistently maintain strong enquiry follow-up, prospecting activity and pipeline management to maximise sales performance.

Their experience includes handling inbound showroom, online and telephone enquiries, qualifying customer requirements, structuring deals and negotiating effectively to secure repeat and referral business. They are also highly confident using CRM systems to manage customer pipelines and maintain regular follow-up activity throughout the sales process.

Alongside automotive retail experience, they have previously worked within regulated finance environments, further strengthening their communication, objection handling and relationship-building skills. Professional, resilient and commercially focused, they are now looking for a fresh Sales Executive opportunity where they can continue progressing within the motor trade.
