Sales Executive - Vertu Toyota Ayr

We are looking for a driven and customer-focused Sales Executive to join the team at Vertu Toyota Ayr. This role offers a competitive basic salary of £27,000, with an on-target earnings (OTE) of £45,000 and uncapped commission, meaning top performers can earn £60,000+.

Whether you're already succeeding in automotive sales or have a proven track record in a customer-facing sales environment, this could be an excellent opportunity to join one of the UK's leading motor retailers and build a rewarding long-term career.

In addition to excellent earning potential, we pride ourselves on offering genuine work-life balance. You'll work a 40-hour week (five 8-hour shifts), be on duty for most Saturdays (our busiest sales day), and enjoy a guaranteed day off during the week. Plus, we're closed on Sundays, giving you a consistent day every week to relax and recharge.

As part of our team, you'll represent Toyota, one of the world's most trusted automotive brands, renowned for quality, innovation, reliability, and its market-leading hybrid technology. You'll benefit from full training and a comprehensive onboarding programme designed to set you up for success and help you maximise your earning potential.

As a Sales Executive, you'll guide customers through a seamless and enjoyable car-buying journey. From the first point of contact to the final handover, you'll take ownership of the end-to-end customer experience, ensuring every customer leaves confident and satisfied.

Join us and benefit from outstanding earning opportunities within a supportive, high-performing environment that's focused on your success.

Requirements

We're looking for ambitious and motivated individuals who thrive in a customer-focused, target-driven environment.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Previous sales experience within a customer-facing role
• Experience within automotive sales would be advantageous, with 12 months or more automotive sales experience preferred
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• A strong commitment to delivering exceptional customer service
• The ability to build rapport and develop long-term customer relationships
• Strong organisational and time-management skills
• The ability to work flexible hours, including weekends
• A full UK driving licence (Manual and Automatic)

Candidates from a range of sales backgrounds including automotive, retail, telecoms, estate agency, recruitment, hospitality, and other customer-focused sales environments are encouraged to apply.

Compliance & Values

As a values-driven business, how you behave matters. You'll be expected to act in good faith at all times and consistently deliver the right outcomes for our customers.

Representing the dealership every day, you will set the standard for integrity. It's your responsibility to ensure the products and services you offer genuinely meet customer needs, protect them from harm and encourage long-term loyalty. Building trust should be at the heart of every interaction.

To protect our customers and our reputation, you will be required to complete a DBS check, along with regular fit and proper person assessments. We will also request references from previous employers as part of our pre-employment checks.

Why Join Vertu Motors?

We are proud to be the Motor Retailer who 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 to 29 with length of service, plus bank holidays
• Access to our online rewards platform giving you cashback and discounts with multiple retailers
• Preferential Service Rates
• Company Car
• Colleague Purchase Scheme
• Share Incentive Scheme

• Enhanced Maternity and Paternity Benefits

If you're looking to join a successful dealership, represent an iconic automotive brand, and build a rewarding long-term career with excellent earning potential, we'd love to hear from you.

You will need to have a full UK driving licence to be considered for this role. If your application is successful, we will need to complete employment checks prior to you starting with us. These may include verification of your recent employment, address history, and credit history. We may also conduct a criminal record check and a driving licence check.
