You are an organised and persuasive individual who thrives in a fast-paced sales environment for a rapidly growing tech business.

About the role
You’ll be the first point of contact for many of our customers, proactively reaching out to classic and performance car owners, collectors and dealers to introduce them to our market-leading auction platform. You’ll be responsible for identifying high-potential sellers, qualifying leads and securing vehicle consignments to fuel our live auction listings. This role is ideal for someone with a proven track record in outbound sales, a passion for classic cars, and an eagerness to be part of a fast-growing marketplace.

Secure a minimum of 3 vehicle consignments per day by qualifying leads and presenting auction value propositions.
• Lead Qualification
  Qualify inbound sales and valuation leads to determine vehicle eligibility and seller readiness. Identify high-potential prospects, provide vehicle valuations and convert to auction sales or enrol in email sequences.
• CRM Management
  Accurately log all prospect interactions, updates, and vehicle details in the CRM system. Maintain clean, organised pipelines and follow-up schedules.
• Market Research & Targeting
  Identify and research new prospect segments. Stay informed about classic and performance car trends, values, and collector interests.
