We are looking for a Sales Executive to join our dealership in York!
This is a fabulous opportunity to join a family-run business in the AM top 50 and represent one of our fantastic manufacturer partners.
We are looking for ambitious and driven individuals who are passionate about providing world-class customer service.
You must have sales experience.
We will ensure that a company car is available for you from the moment you join our team.
We believe our working hours are class-leading. You will work 5 days per week, averaging 41.5 hours per week with every other weekend off.
About the Business
Our business started over 60 years ago and has been in the same family ever since. From our humble beginnings, we have grown to be in the top 50 car dealers in the country. Across our 26 businesses, we have a stable workforce of over 600 people, many of whom have been with us for years. We are always on the lookout for nice, genuine people who care about our customers and have a can-do attitude.
Our recruitment philosophy is that we recruit for attitude and train for skills. If you enjoy working with customers and are attracted by our Family Values of Fit, Fun, Family, and Fearless, you’ll fit in well here, even if you have no experience in the automotive industry.
We offer manufacturer training for product knowledge to give you the technical skills you need, and we work with our own world-class sales trainer who will equip you to be a “top one percenter”.
We expect you to work hard, but in return, we offer an industry-leading package, flexible working hours, and a real opportunity to progress: we prefer to promote from within, which you will see in every one of our sites. You must possess an outrageous ambition to be the best and not let anyone stop you.
About You
