Summary
A motivated and commercially driven sales professional with hands-on experience in car sales, customer relationship management and business development. Having previously run my own automotive business, I have developed strong knowledge of the motor trade, with experience selling vehicles, identifying customer needs and upselling additional products and services. I am confident in building relationships, negotiating deals and delivering a high standard of customer service while working towards sales targets.
I am now looking to continue my career within the automotive sales industry as part of an established and reputable company, where I can apply the experience I have already gained while developing my product knowledge, sales ability and understanding of the industry further. I am ambitious, motivated by results and keen to build a long-term career within automotive sales.
