Edenvale, South Africa | Posted on 09/29/2026

An exciting new international vehicle brand is building its presence in South Africa, and its newly opened dealership in Edenvale is appointing Vehicle Sales Executives to its founding sales team. This is a ground-floor opportunity. You'll help establish a new brand in the market, build a customer base from the start, and grow with the dealership as the brand gains traction.

Scope of the Role

The Vehicle Sales Executive manages the full sales cycle, from prospecting and first contact through to deal structuring, handover and after-sales follow-up. The focus is on generating leads, turning enquiries into sales, and building lasting customer relationships that bring in repeat and referral business.

Key Responsibilities

• Prospect for new customers through walk-ins, telephone and digital leads, referrals, and your own network
• Build confidence in a new brand through strong product knowledge, demonstrations and test drives
• Assess customer needs and match them to the right vehicle and finance solution
• Structure deals, handle trade-in valuations, and work closely with the F&I department
• Achieve monthly unit and gross profit targets
• Keep all customer interactions, leads and follow-ups up to date on the CRM/DMS
• Complete deal documentation accurately and in line with FICA and NCA requirements
• Manage vehicle deliveries so every handover is professional and memorable
• Follow up after delivery to build loyalty and generate referrals
• Represent the brand at showroom events, launches and activations

Requirements

• Matric (Grade 12)
• 2–3 years' vehicle sales experience in a franchised dealership
• A proven track record of meeting sales targets
• Valid Code B (EB) driver's licence and own reliable transport
• Living on the East Rand or within easy commuting distance of Edenvale
• Willing to work weekends and public holidays in line with dealership trading hours
• Clear criminal and credit record

Advantageous

• Experience selling a newly launched vehicle brand
• Experience with new-energy vehicles (hybrid or electric)
• An existing customer base on the East Rand
• Working knowledge of a DMS and CRM system
• Fleet or corporate sales experience

The Person We Are Looking For

A confident, energetic self-starter who enjoys building something new. You're a natural prospector who doesn't wait for the showroom to fill. You're target-driven and resilient, with the credibility to win customers over to a brand they may not know yet. You present yourself professionally and communicate clearly, and you care about the customer's experience long after the sale.
