(Full training will be given on how to plan using various apps to work out public transport routes, etc)
- Communication

You will need to ensure you call customers you are collecting vehicles from, or delivering to, confirming what time you will arriving to avoid a wasted trip, making sure you update them should you experience any delays. Some jobs may also require you to call a buyer who has purchased a vehicle and confirm the cosmetic condition before you take the vehicle.

You will also need to ensure you communicate with the Motor Trade Logistics office should you experience any issues.
- Appraising a vehicle

You will need appraise the internal and external cosmetic condition of the vehicle you are collecting.

**Key Skills**

Don’t panic if you do not have any previous Motor Trade/driving qualifications/experience. To make a successful Delivery Agent the skills required are:
- Attention to Detail

By no means do you need to be an expert or mechanic to be a delivery agent. We do provide training however, all that is required is to appraise a vehicle thoroughly, which in essence is looking around the whole vehicle inside and out for ANY cosmetic damage the eye can see.
- Good Communication

It may sound fairly simple however, good communication skills are vital as a delivery agent. Part of the role will require you to contact dealerships/vehicle preparation centres to ensure vehicles are ready for collection prior to you going to pick them up. You will also be required to communicate with customers you are delivering to, confirming ETA’s.

To be a successful delivery agent, having the ability to be organised is a great advantage. You will be allocated vehicles to collect and deliver over 2-3-day period so you will need to plan your days to ensure you can complete all the jobs.
