Sales Manager | Used Car Specialist | Gloucestershire (GL13 9ET)
Location: Gloucestershire (Site-specific)
Employment Type: Full-Time (Including Weekends)
Salary: £40,000 – £60,000 per annum (Base + OTE)
The Role
Are you a high-octane sales professional with "deal-maker" DNA? We are looking for a relentless Sales Manager to lead our team in a fast-paced Gloucestershire dealership.
This isn't a "sit in the office" role—we need a floor-walking, customer-facing leader who thrives on the adrenaline of closing deals. Your primary mission is to drive volume and profit. You won’t just be managing spreadsheets; you will be the heartbeat of the showroom floor. You are the closer, the mentor, and the backup driver when the pressure is on.
Key Responsibilities
- The "Second Face": Personally engage with every customer before they leave the building. Support Sales Executives, overcome objections, and ensure no opportunity is missed.
- Business Manager Partnership: Work hand-in-hand with the Business Manager to maximize F&I (Finance & Insurance) opportunities and ensure seamless deal flow.
- Active Selling: Lead by example. When the showroom is buzzing or the team is short-staffed, you roll up your sleeves and take leads yourself.
- Performance Driving: Manage KPIs, stock turn, and department profitability with a hunger to consistently exceed set targets.
- Team Mentorship: Coach the team in real-time on the floor to sharpen their negotiation and closing skills.
Requirements
- Experience: Minimum of 2 years in a senior sales or management role within the automotive industry.
- The Hunger: A proven track record of smashing targets and a genuine desire to over-achieve.
- Collaborative Mindset: Ability to work effectively alongside a Business Manager to ensure every deal is structured for maximum profit.
- Flexibility: Must be fully committed to a flexible rota that includes Saturdays and Sundays (our peak trading times).
- Resilience: Ability to thrive in a high-pressure, fast-paced environment.
What’s on Offer?
- Competitive Salary: £40,000 base with a realistic OTE of £60,000 for top performers.
- A fast-moving environment where your impact is felt immediately.
- The chance to lead a dedicated team in a thriving local dealership.
