The role of a Commercial Vehicle Sales Manager is one that is highly rewarding and can lead to great career prospects. Working with Commercial Vehicles differs from traditional Car Sales roles as it centres on the sale of new and used vehicles to other businesses. This could include cars, light commercial vehicles or HGV’s depending on the Dealership.
A Commercial Vehicle Sales Manager is typically based in a Commercial Dealership but may also be required to visit their customers at their place of business in order to maintain strong working relationships with them.
Commercial Vehicle Sales Managers can work up to 45hours a week, those who work within Commercial Vehicle Sales or Fleet Sales will typically work Monday to Friday only to reflect the hours of the companies they are selling vehicles to. In return, they tend to earn a very good salary and generous bonuses.
A Commercial Vehicle Sales Manager should be hands-on and thrive in a fast paced environment. They will be instrumental in identifying new business and retaining existing commercial customers, therefore the right candidate will possess excellent sales and negotiation skills. It is also important that they are a good leader as a Commercial Sales Manager will have to manage a team of Commercial Sales Executives. Previous experience working as a Sales Manager, strong understanding of the commercial vehicle trade and strong leadership skills are all essential.
