Selling Sales Manager (Bedford)

Motorvogue Group is looking for a hands-on Selling Sales Manager to join our Fiat & Peugeot team in Bedford. Fiat is very established, having been here since 2015 when we opened our Bedford site, and we are delighted to welcome Peugeot to our Bedford portfolio shortly. This is not a desk job. We are looking for someone who thrives on the sales floor, supports the team in closing deals and drives performance day-to-day. You will be responsible for running the showroom floor, structuring deals properly and ensuring customers receive a first-class experience.

The Role

• As Selling Sales Manager you will play a key role in driving the daily performance of the sales team.
• You will be visible on the showroom floor, working deals with the team and ensuring opportunities convert into profitable sales.

Running the Sales Floor

• Managing the showroom activity day-to-day
• Supporting sales executives in closing deals
• Second facing customers when required
• Keeping energy and urgency on the sales floor
• Ensuring customers are never left waiting

You will always know:

• Who is with customers
• What deals are progressing
• Where support is needed to close deals

Deal Stacking & Profit Control

• Structuring deals to maximise margin
• Supporting negotiation with customers
• Ensuring finance, part exchange and add-on opportunities are explored
• Preventing deals that damage gross profit

Every deal should have your visibility and support where needed.

Closing Deals

• Second facing customers when required
• Supporting less experienced sales executives
• Ensuring customers leave with a positive experience

Forecourt & Showroom Standards

• Ensuring vehicles are clean, correctly priced and well positioned
• Making sure the showroom is customer-ready at all times
• Presentation is everyone’s responsibility – especially the sales team.

Supporting the Sales Team

• Ensuring enquiries and leads are followed up properly
• Keeping the team active and focused
• Supporting development of newer team members
• Maintaining a motivated and professional sales environment

What Good Looks Like

A successful Selling Sales Manager will ensure:

• The showroom floor is well managed and active
• Deals are profitable and structured properly
• Customers receive a professional and engaging experience
• The site presentation is always right
• The team is focused on converting opportunities

You will also manage your own customers and contribute to sales performance.

About You

You will likely already be working as a Business Manager ready to move into a floor role. Most importantly, you must:

• Enjoy being on the showroom floor
• Be confident working deals and negotiating
• Have strong commercial awareness
• Be able to motivate and support a sales team
