This role is typically based in a Main Dealership and you will report into the Parts Manager. Depending on the structure of the business, the Part Sales Representative could be selling parts to other trade businesses such as Bodyshops or local garages; they could sell directly to customers or a combination of both. A good Parts Sales Representative is someone who can work in a professional manner, answering any queries a customer may have and identifying the best solution for them.

 

Employers will be looking for an individual with previous sales experience, strong commercial awareness and understanding of the Motor Trade. Excellent negotiation skills, self-motivated and good literacy and numeracy skills are also key requirements of this position.
