Job description

Bristol, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Advertised Salary: £23,000

Ref#: 148045

Bristol Pro+ (BS4)

Are you an experienced commercial vehicle or van sales professional looking for an opportunity where you’ll have access to an established flow of LCV customers while still having the freedom to develop new business?

Join Retail Renault Group as a Van & Local Fleet Sales Executive at Bristol Pro+, combining dealership-based sales with proactive business development to grow relationships with local SMEs and fleet customers.

This is a dealership-centric role, reflecting the strong level of LCV customer footfall at Bristol Pro+. While generating new business remains important, you’ll be based at the dealership full-time, converting opportunities, building lasting customer relationships and developing repeat business.

The Benefits You’ll Enjoy:

• Access to a salary sacrifice, tax-efficient new car scheme (ECOS) from £48 per month, inclusive of insurance.
• A family new car scheme for close family members from £139 per car per month.
• 33 days’ annual leave including Bank Holidays, increasing to 36 days based on length of service, with the option to buy or sell additional days.
• Pension scheme including permanent health insurance and death-in-service benefit.
• Enhanced Maternity and Paternity policies.
• Staff discounts on new and used vehicles, parts, servicing and accessories.
• Cycle to Work scheme, including e-bikes, plus discounted gym membership.

How You’ll Contribute:

• Develop new van and fleet business with Small and Medium Enterprises through proactive sales activity.
• Maximise opportunities generated through customer enquiries and LCV footfall at the dealership.
• Build strong relationships with customers, understanding their commercial vehicle requirements and providing tailored solutions.
• Manage the complete sales journey from initial enquiry through to vehicle order and delivery.
• Identify additional sales opportunities and maximise profitability across vehicles, conversions, delivery and ancillary products.
• Understand customer fleet replacement schedules and coordinate vehicle conversions where required.
• Build long-term customer relationships that generate repeat business and opportunities across Retail Renault Group’s aftersales services.
• Maintain an active pipeline and accurate reporting of sales activity, appointments and customer engagement.

About You:

• You must currently be working, or have most recently worked, within commercial vehicle / van sales.
• You’ll have hands‑on experience selling LCVs and understand the needs of commercial vehicle customers.
• A proven track record of achieving strong sales volumes and profitability.
• Experience developing new business as well as converting existing customer opportunities.
• Confident building relationships with SME and business customers.
• Strong communication, negotiation and influencing skills.
• Proactive and commercially focused, with the motivation to seek out opportunities and develop repeat business.
• Knowledge of fleet sales and financial products.
• Ideally 2–3 years’ field sales experience.
• Renault and Dacia experience would be advantageous.
• Full clean UK driving licence.

Please note: For this vacancy, we’re looking for candidates who are actively working within van or commercial vehicle sales. This isn’t a move from passenger car sales into the LCV market, so existing commercial vehicle sales experience is essential.

• You will work an average of 45 hours per week. Working hours are Monday to Friday between 8:30am and 6:00pm and Saturday between 8:30am and 12:30pm. Saturday forms part of the normal working week and is balanced by a half-day during the week, creating a typical 5-day working pattern.
