Job Type: Full-time, On-site

AMT Leasing provides flexible and competitive vehicle finance solutions to both personal and business customers. As part of the wider AMT Group, we offer a comprehensive range of automotive services.

Our approach is simple: understand what each customer needs and find the right vehicle and finance solution to match. With a strong focus on customer service, flexibility and long-term relationships, we're continuing to grow and are looking for an ambitious Sales Executive to join our team.

As a Sales Executive, you'll play a key role in driving the growth of our vehicle leasing and finance business. You'll work with both individual and business customers, managing opportunities from the initial enquiry through to successful completion.

This is a varied, customer-focused sales role where you'll have the opportunity to build relationships, develop new business, and make a real contribution to the company's success.

You'll be responsible for:

• Responding promptly and professionally to inbound sales enquiries.
• Identifying and developing new B2C and B2B sales opportunities.
• Understanding customer requirements through effective needs-based selling.
• Recommending tailored vehicle leasing and finance solutions.
• Preparing accurate quotations and proposals.
• Managing the complete sales process from initial enquiry through to agreement completion.
• Maintaining accurate and up-to-date records within the CRM.
• Proactively following up leads and progressing opportunities.
• Building strong, long-term relationships with customers and business clients.
• Working closely with other departments within the group for referral opportunities
• Keeping up to date with vehicle products, finance options, competitor activity, and market trends.
• Delivering consistently high standards of customer service.
• Working towards individual and company sales targets and contributing to wider business growth.

We're looking for a confident, commercially minded sales professional who enjoys speaking to customers, understanding their needs, and finding the right solution.

You'll ideally have:

• Proven experience in B2C and/or B2B sales, with a track record of achieving or exceeding targets.
• Experience in automotive, vehicle leasing, finance, rental, or a related industry is advantageous but not essential.
• Strong relationship-building and customer service skills.
• A consultative approach to sales, with excellent listening and questioning skills.
• The confidence to explain finance and leasing options clearly and simply.
• Strong communication, influencing, and negotiation skills.
• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple enquiries and sales opportunities simultaneously.
• Experience using CRM systems and standard office software.
• A proactive, target-driven approach and the ability to take ownership of your own sales pipeline.
• The ability to work effectively as part of a close-knit, on-site team while independently managing your own objectives.
• A willingness to learn and develop your knowledge of vehicle leasing, contract hire, and automotive finance.
• A full, valid UK driving licence and the ability to travel locally for client meetings when required.

Relevant qualifications or training in sales, business, automotive, finance, or a related discipline would be beneficial, but we're equally interested in attitude, commercial ability, and a genuine desire to succeed.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an established and growing automotive group where you'll have exposure to the full vehicle lifecycle, from leasing and finance through to sales, rental, sourcing, and aftersales.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Build and manage your own customer relationships and sales pipeline.
• Work with both private customers and business clients.
• Develop valuable knowledge across the automotive and finance sectors.
• Be part of a collaborative and supportive team.
• Make a direct contribution to sales performance and business growth.
• Develop your career within a growing automotive organisation.
