Job description

Vertu Vauxhall Chingford

We are looking for an experienced Sales Executive or an ambitious telesales professional looking to elevate their earning potential to join the team at Vertu Vauxhall Chingford. This role offers a competitive basic salary of £29,000, with an on target earnings (OTE) of £45,000 and uncapped commission, meaning top performers can earn up to £60,000.

Whether you are currently a Sales Executive in the motor trade, or looking to transition from Telesales, Recruitment, Retail Sales, a fast-paced Call Centre or B2B Lead Generation...

We are seeking driven individuals with a strong telephone background, a resilient work ethic, and a passion for customer engagement. If you are comfortable spending several hours a day on the phones, highly motivated, and ready to use your outbound skills to drive face-to-face showroom sales, we want to hear from you. We provide full, comprehensive training. You bring the phone confidence and grit; we will teach you the automotive industry.

The Role

As a Sales Executive, you will represent Vauxhall, a major automotive brand built on quality, volume, and innovation. You will use your telesales stamina to proactively follow up leads, handle initial enquiries, and book appointments. From there, you will transition into a premium face-to-face consultative role.

You will 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.

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.

Requirements

A minimum of 12 months experience in a high-volume, target-driven telephone sales role is essential. This includes Telesales, Recruitment, Outbound Call Centres, Customer Retention, Appointment Setting, or B2B Lead Generation. We also welcome high-performing Automotive Sales Executives with a proven sales record who are confident, proactive, and comfortable generating opportunities over the phone. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.

• A strong commitment to delivering exceptional customer service.
• Ability to work flexible hours, including weekends.
• Full UK driving licence (Manual and Automatic).

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 delivery 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.

Benefits

We are proud to be the Motor Retailer who invests more in our colleague's personal development than any other, so if you are successful, you can look forward to on-going 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 which includes:

• 25 days holiday rising to 29 with length of service - plus bank holidays
• Access to our online rewards platform giving you cash back and discounts for multiple retailers
• Preferential Service Rates
• Company Car
• Colleague Purchase Scheme
• Share Incentive Scheme
• Pension
• Enhanced Maternity and Paternity

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