This role offers a competitive basic salary of £27,000, with on-target earnings (OTE) of £45,000 and uncapped commission, meaning top performers can earn up to £60,000.
Whether you’re an established Sales Executive or looking to start a new career in automotive sales, you’ll receive exceptional support, structured training, and ongoing development to help you succeed and maximise your earning potential. If you have talent, energy, drive, character and the right attitude we want to hear from you.
