Acquisition Manager (Field Sales)
Location: Field-based (UK)
Type: Self-employed / Commission-based (initially) → Path to full-time leadership role
About us
We're Garage Buddy, a simple yet powerful online platform to help make managing garages easier with in built customer relations in mind. Customers are informed at every step as to what's happening with their car and garages are given a easy to use platform to manage job cards, invoice items and diary bookings.
We’re now looking for a highly motivated Acquisition Manager to help us expand rapidly by bringing Garage Buddy directly to garages across the UK.
The Role
This is a field-based sales role focused on acquiring new garage customers through in-person visits, product demos, and relationship building.
You’ll be the face of Garage Buddy on the ground — demonstrating the product, understanding garage needs, and closing deals.
This role is commission-driven, with strong earning potential:
- Commission paid per successful sale
- Ongoing revenue share from subscriptions you bring in
As we grow, this role is designed to evolve into a Commercial Manager / Sales Leadership position, where you’ll help shape our go-to-market strategy and potentially lead a wider sales team.
Key Responsibilities
- Visit independent garages, workshops, and automotive businesses
- Demo the Garage Buddy platform in person
- Build relationships with garage owners and decision-makers
- Identify customer pain points and position our solution effectively
- Close new customer accounts
- Maintain a pipeline of prospects and manage follow-ups
- Provide feedback from the field to help improve the product and sales approach
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Self-motivated, driven, and comfortable working independently
- Confident in face-to-face sales and relationship building
- Entrepreneurial in mindset, with a desire to grow into a bigger role
Highly desirable background:
- Currently working in automotive parts sales, tools, diagnostics, or similar field-based roles
- Already visiting garages regularly (this is a huge advantage)
- Existing relationships within the automotive trade
However, we’re open to candidates outside this background if you have strong sales ability and the right mindset.
What We Offer
- High earning potential through commission + recurring revenue share
- Full flexibility and autonomy (self-employed structure initially)
- Opportunity to grow into a senior commercial role as the business scales
- Early-stage startup exposure with real influence on growth strategy
- A product that genuinely helps garages operate more efficiently
Career Progression
This is not just a sales role — it’s a growth opportunity.
Top performers will have the chance to:
- Transition into a full-time role
- Shape pricing, sales strategy, and expansion plans
- Move into a Commercial Manager / Head of Sales-type position
- Build and lead a team of acquisition managers
Compensation Structure
- Commission per sale
- Ongoing % of subscription revenue (residual income)
- Future salary + bonus structure upon transition to permanent role
How to Apply
If you’re already in the automotive trade — especially visiting garages regularly — and want to monetise your network while building something bigger, we’d love to hear from you.
Pay: £14.00-£100.00 per hour
Work Location: Remote
