About this role
Lookers' Stockport Volvo dealership is looking for a Sales Executive to join their sales team on a permanent, full-time basis. You'll be the main point of contact for customers, guiding them through the buying process—from initial conversations via phone, email, or in person, through test drives, price negotiation, and paperwork completion. The role requires strong communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to understand what each customer is looking for, whether they're buying new or used. You'll work closely with colleagues across departments to ensure smooth transactions and hit sales targets.
The position offers an on-target earnings package of up to £50,000 per annum (£25,000 basic plus uncapped commission) plus a company car. Hours are 45 per week across a rota that includes weekday shifts (Monday–Friday, 08:30–18:00), Saturday (09:00–17:00), and Sunday (11:00–15:00), with one weekday off and rotating weekend time off. You'll need a full UK driving licence, as the role involves test-driving vehicles.
Previous motor trade experience is preferred but not essential—Lookers actively welcomes fresh talent. Beyond the salary and car, the package includes generous annual leave that increases with service, enhanced family leave, health and wellbeing support (24/7 GP access, eyecare vouchers, dental insurance), and various lifestyle benefits including gym discounts and retail discounts. The company invests in manufacturer brand and management training to support career development.
