Sales Executive- BYD Doncaster

We are looking for a Sales Executive to join our BYD Doncaster dealership. This is a fabulous opportunity to join a family run business in the AM top 50 and represent one of our fantastic manufacturer partners. We are looking for ambitious and driven individuals who are passionate about providing world-class customer service.

About the Business

Our business started over 60 years ago and has been in the same family ever since. From our very humble beginnings, we have grown to be in the top 50 car dealers in the country. Across our 26 businesses we have a stable workforce of over 600 people, many of whom have been with us for years. We are always on the lookout for nice, genuine people who genuinely care about our customers and have a can-do attitude.

Our recruitment philosophy is that we recruit for attitude and train for skills, which means that although we’re often looking for specific technical skills, if you like working with customers and you are attracted by our Family Values of Fit, Fun, Family and Fearless, you’ll fit in well here and we’d like to hear from you even if you have no experience of the automotive industry.

We offer manufacture training for product knowledge to give you the technical skills you need, and we work with our own world class sales trainer who will give you everything you need to be a "top one percenter". We’ll expect you to work hard but in return we’ll offer you an industry leading package, flexible working hours and a real opportunity to progress: we prefer to promote from within and you will see this in everyone of our sites. You must possess an outrageous ambition to want to be the best and you won’t let anyone stop you.

About You

We are looking for someone who is able to listen to the customer’s needs and adapt your skills and knowledge to suit the customer individually. As a Sales Executive you will have to be confident working to targets and deadlines and be able to maximise every opportunity, converting enquiries into sales.

As a Sales Executive you will be primarily responsible for generating customer appointments and prospecting in order to maximise car sales in a challenging, target driven environment. If you are looking to join the Automotive Industry then this is a brilliant opportunity for you, and a lifelong career choice. Full training will be provided for those joining as a trainee, giving you the opportunity to attend manufacturer Training Courses and continuous internal Training and Support.
