• Highly IT literate and comfortable using CRM and dealership management systems.
• Experienced using smartphones, tablets and mobile devices throughout the sales process.
• Confident creating personalised video presentations and communicating with customers digitally.
• Able to manage online leads, appointments and follow-ups efficiently using multiple systems.
• Comfortable learning and adopting new technologies and manufacturer digital platforms as they evolve.
