Job description

White Horse Employment are delighted to be working exclusively with a long-standing client on an exciting Sales Executive opportunity within the automotive retail sector.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established automotive business and represent a rapidly growing electric vehicle brand at an important stage of its UK development.

We are looking for an ambitious, energetic and customer-focused salesperson who is excited by the opportunity to help build awareness of an exciting new EV brand in the local market.

With the support of an established automotive group behind you, this role offers the chance to make your mark, build strong customer relationships and grow alongside a developing brand.

About the Business

The dealership is part of a long-established automotive group with a strong history in the motor trade and deep roots in the local community.

With decades of experience across vehicle sales, aftersales and customer service, the wider business has built its reputation around providing a professional and customer-focused experience.

Alongside its established automotive operations, the group continues to embrace the changing face of the motor industry, including the growing transition towards electric and technology-led vehicles.

This role offers the stability and support of an established automotive organisation combined with the excitement of representing a developing EV brand.

About the Role

As a Sales Executive, you will be responsible for delivering an outstanding customer experience while achieving personal and dealership sales targets.

You will work with customers throughout the full sales journey, from initial enquiry and vehicle presentation through to test drives, finance and accessories, ultimately ensuring a smooth and memorable buying experience.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Handling new and existing customer enquiries.
• Proactively following up leads and customer enquiries.
• Building strong and lasting customer relationships.
• Identifying customer requirements through effective questioning and conversation.
• Presenting and demonstrating vehicles confidently.
• Conducting test drives and explaining vehicle features and technology.
• Introducing customers to the benefits of electric vehicle ownership.
• Discussing and selling appropriate finance, accessories and additional products.
• Working towards and exceeding individual and dealership KPIs.
• Maintaining accurate customer records and following up opportunities.
• Creating repeat and referral business through excellent customer service.
• Keeping up to date with the latest EV technology, products and market developments.

Who Are We Looking For?

We’re looking for a confident, energetic and commercially driven salesperson who genuinely enjoys working with customers.

Automotive sales experience is preferred, but not essential. We’re open to strong candidates from retail, telecoms, technology or other customer-focused sales environments.

You’ll need to:

• Confident, outgoing and naturally engaging.
• Target-driven and commercially minded.
• Proactive with excellent follow-up skills.
• Consultative and focused on the customer experience.
• Interested in EVs, technology and the future of motoring.
• Ambitious and keen to grow with an exciting new brand.

Most importantly, we want someone who shows initiative. You should be prepared to research the brand, understand the vehicles and get excited about what you’re selling.

Location

Due to the nature of the role and the importance of building a strong local customer base, being based within a reasonable commuting distance of Swindon is essential.
