Form of work
SalarySales Administrators can be found in almost all types of Motor Trade Businesses, from Car Dealerships to Commercial Dealerships, Accident Repair Centres and Parts Factors. They provide administration support to the Sales Team, which is an important role as it means the Sales Team can focus on selling!
General duties include monitoring vehicle deliveries and maintaining stock records, processing vehicles for transfer and ensuring all records are kept up-to-date, analysing month end sales invoices and generating reports as well as liaising with manufacturers on delivery times and keeping customers informed on their delivery times.
Regardless of whether you are a Sales Administrator in a Main Dealership or a Body shop, this role is both logistical and administrative and therefore requires a highly organised individual with commercial awareness and the ability to deliver the highest standards of service. A successful Sales Administrator will be able to work well under pressure and use their initiative to support the smooth running of the Sales Team.
Experienced Sales Administrators can see their career progress in different directions, one route to take is to move into the Service Department and work as a Service Advisor due to the after sales knowledge they have built. Others will progress their career on the Sales side of the business and move into a Sales Advisor, Senior Sales Advisor, then Sales Controller, Sales Manager and finally an After sales Manager role.
