Job description

Vans Direct

Vans Direct, part of Vertu, is one of the UK’s leading van retailers. We’re growing fast and looking for energetic, ambitious individuals to join our high-performing sales team in Newport.

We offer a basic salary of £22,000 + uncapped commission (OTE £50,000).

We’re not your typical online retailer. We’re a one-stop-shop for van buyers, offering a vibrant, fast-paced environment where success is celebrated and rewarded. If you’re looking for a career in sales with real progression with a dynamic & supportive culture—this could be the perfect fit.

The Role

As a Sales Executive, you will be the first point of contact with our customers. Your job is to understand their needs, match them with the right vehicle and finance options, and deliver an outstanding customer experience from start to finish.

With full support from our marketing team generating high-quality leads and our commercial team securing the best stock and pricing, you’ll be perfectly positioned to generate sales. You'll manage your own customer base, build lasting relationships, and benefit from repeat business and referrals.

Your Responsibilities Will Include

• Handling inbound leads via phone, email, and online platforms
• Guiding customers through the sales process in line with FCA guidelines
• Matching customer needs with our stock and finance options
• Proposing finance applications and liaising with internal teams
• Resolving customer queries and ensuring a smooth buying experience
• Regular outbound contact with your own customer database to support retention and uncover renewal opportunities

What We’re Looking For

A dynamic & driven individual who’s confident, personable and able to build rapport quickly. Experience in sales and an automotive background is essential. We’ll provide full training, but what matters most is that you bring the unteachables:

• Drive
• Attitude
• Talent
• Character
• Energy

If your application is successful, we will need you to complete employment checks prior to starting with us. These checks may include verifying your recent employment, address, and credit history. We may also conduct a criminal record check and a driving license check.

Benefits

We are proud to be the Motor Retailer that invests more in our colleagues' personal development than any other. If you are successful, you can look forward to ongoing training opportunities that provide you with the right career path, career progression, and a range of benefits you would expect from an employer of choice, including:

• 25 days holiday rising with length of service, plus bank holidays
• Access to our online rewards platform, giving you cash back and discounts at multiple retailers
• Preferential service rates
• Colleague purchase scheme
• Share incentive scheme
• Pension
• Enhanced maternity and paternity benefits
