Hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 9:00am to 6:00pm
Salary: Competitive basic salary + uncapped commission
About Us
Danielle Autos is an independent, fast-growing used car dealership with ambitious plans. We aren’t a corporate dealership, which means every member of the team has a genuine impact on the business.
We’re looking for someone who wants more than “just another sales job”. This is an opportunity to become the driving force behind our sales department and grow with the business.
The Role
As our Head of Sales / Senior Sales Executive, you’ll take ownership of the entire sales process from first enquiry to vehicle handover. You’ll be the main point of contact for customers, helping to build and improve our sales operation as the business grows.
You’ll be expected to work independently, make decisions confidently and treat the business as if it were your own.
Responsibilities
- Manage all incoming sales enquiries from Auto Trader, Motors, CarGurus, social media, phone calls and email.
- Respond quickly to all leads and maximise every sales opportunity.
- Book customer appointments and conduct vehicle viewings.
- Negotiate deals and close sales confidently.
- Upsell finance, warranties and additional products where appropriate.
- Manage customer follow-up to increase conversions.
- Maintain accurate CRM records.
- Ensure an excellent customer experience from enquiry through to handover.
- Work closely with management to improve sales processes and increase profitability.
- Help shape and grow the sales department.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Highly confident and naturally personable.
- Driven by targets and earning potential.
- Able to perform well under pressure.
- Self-motivated with excellent time management.
- Professional, organised and proactive.
- Comfortable taking responsibility and solving problems independently.
- Committed to helping grow a small business rather than simply doing the minimum.
- Experienced in automotive sales (preferred but not essential if you have a strong sales background).
Requirements
- Full UK driving licence.
- Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
- Comfortable using CRM systems, email and Microsoft Office.
- Willing to be the main point of contact for customer enquiries outside normal working hours where reasonably required. A company phone will be provided, and flexibility is expected to ensure customers receive excellent service.
What We Offer
- Competitive basic salary.
- Uncapped commission.
- Genuine career progression as the business grows.
- Opportunity to build and lead the sales department.
- Company phone.
- Friendly, supportive and ambitious team.
- Real responsibility and the chance to make a lasting impact on the business.
If you’re motivated, confident, thrive in a fast-paced environment and want to help build something exciting, we’d love to hear from you.
