Job description

Vertu Mercedes-Benz of Reading

We are looking for a customer-focused individual with experience in the motor trade to join the team at Vertu Mercedes-Benz of Reading as a Sales Executive.

This role offers a great basic salary with the opportunity to earn significant commission, with earnings well in excess of our on-target level of £50,000, plus a company car.

In addition to fantastic earning potential, we’ll also provide true work life balance. You’ll work a 40-hour week, with weekends included – but we’re currently trialling closing on Sundays, giving you even more time to recharge.

You don’t necessarily need to be an experienced Sales Executive to be considered. We’re interested in people who have built a stable career within the motor trade and can demonstrate strong customer-facing experience. Whether your background is in vehicle sales, service, aftersales or another customer-focused automotive role, if you have the right attitude, communication skills and understanding of the motor industry, we can provide the training and support to help you succeed.

As part of our team, you’ll represent Mercedes-Benz, delivering the premium level of service customers expect from one of the world’s most recognised automotive brands. You’ll receive full training and a thorough onboarding programme, giving you the tools and knowledge to maximise both your performance and earning potential.

As a Sales Executive, you’ll guide customers through a seamless and enjoyable car-buying experience. From the first point of contact through to vehicle handover, you’ll take ownership of the end-to-end customer journey, building strong relationships and creating an experience that keeps customers coming back.

Join us and take advantage of fantastic earning opportunities, industry-leading training and the chance to build your sales career with Vertu Mercedes-Benz.

Requirements

• Previous experience within the motor trade in a customer-facing role, such as Sales, Service, Aftersales or a similar automotive position
• A stable employment history, demonstrating commitment and progression within your career
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• A strong commitment to providing exceptional customer service
• Confidence building relationships and engaging with customers
• 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 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.

Benefits

• 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 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. 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.
