The successful candidate will initially operate as a hands-on salesperson, managing inbound leads and closing customers across the company's automotive services.

Once individual sales performance has been established, the role will transition into a player-coach leadership position, responsible for training, supporting and managing a team of SDRs.

We are therefore looking for someone who can close today and lead tomorrow.

  • Manage a high volume of inbound leads.
  • Qualify prospects and understand their automotive requirements.
  • Quote customers using established tiered pricing.
  • Sell PPF, window tint, ceramic coating and paint correction services.
  • Handle objections confidently and professionally.
  • Follow up consistently with prospective customers.
  • Convert inbound opportunities into booked appointments and sales.
  • Build trust through genuine automotive product knowledge.
  • Provide a warm, consultative customer experience.
  • Maintain accurate CRM records and ensure no leads are lost.

As the business expands, responsibilities will develop to include:

  • Training and onboarding new SDRs.
  • Coaching team members on inbound sales conversations.
  • Monitoring individual and team performance.
  • Establishing sales best practices and processes.
  • Providing call coaching and constructive feedback.
  • Developing automotive product knowledge across the team.
  • Managing accountability and sales performance.
  • Helping build a scalable internal sales function.

Candidates must have hands-on experience within automotive customisation or a closely related automotive environment.

Relevant experience includes:

  • Paint Protection Film (PPF)
  • Window tint
  • Ceramic coating
  • Vehicle wrapping
  • Automotive detailing
  • Paint correction
  • Automotive aftermarket products
  • Performance and vehicle accessories
  • Automotive sales
  • Automotive installation

General sales candidates without genuine automotive experience will not be considered.

  • Approximately 5+ years of sales experience preferred.
  • Experience in inbound, phone-based or high-ticket sales.
  • Proven ability to handle objections and close customers.
  • Strong follow-up and lead-management skills.
  • Comfortable working with high lead volumes.
  • Consultative rather than aggressive sales approach.
  • Demonstrable history of achieving sales targets.
  • Experience mentoring, training or supporting colleagues.
  • Strong communication and coaching ability.
  • Potential to manage a small SDR team within approximately 6–12 months.
  • Comfortable being accountable for individual and team performance.
  • Able to lead by example while remaining hands-on.

  • Excellent spoken and written English.
  • Naturally conversational and personable.
  • Able to build rapport quickly over the phone.
  • Confident communicating with customers independently.
  • Able to explain automotive products and services clearly.
  • Professional, engaging and easy to speak with.

The ideal candidate will:

  • Genuinely love cars and the automotive industry.
  • Be warm, naturally conversational and personable.
  • Have a strong work ethic.
  • Be self-motivated and comfortable working remotely.
  • Demonstrate exceptional attention to detail.
  • Take ownership without requiring constant supervision.
  • Be honest about their knowledge and limitations.

  • Demonstrate strong knowledge of automotive services.
  • Maintain a clean and accurate CRM.
