2 weeks ago


Guildford, Surrey, United Kingdom TN United Kingdom Full time

Exciting News Porsche Retail Group is expanding our team and we have an excellent opportunity for a Trainee Sales Executive to work for one of the world's most iconic brands and join the prestigious Porsche Centre Guildford. This well-located showroom is about to undergo a major redevelopment. The Porsche Centre is based within the main city area and there are retail parks close by. The dealership offers staff parking and is a 15-minute walk from Guildford main line train station.

Please note: To be considered for this position, you must hold a full UK driving licence and be at least 25 years old for insurance purposes when driving Porsche's full range of products.

About Porsche Retail Group
Porsche Retail Group is a wholly owned subsidiary of Porsche Cars Great Britain and is one of the largest Porsche Dealer Groups in the UK, representing five Porsche Centres located in Guildford, Hatfield, Mayfair, Reading, and West London. Porsche Retail Group is proud to be one of Best Companies' Top 100 large companies to work for in the UK, as well as a Top 5 company in Automotive, and combines an outstanding working environment with great benefits and an extremely competitive package.

About the role
Working in our showroom, as Trainee Sales Executive you will:

  • Create experiences that go beyond sales and give visitors to our Porsche Centre an experience to remember.
  • Introduce visitors to the exciting world of Porsche, sharing unique brand and product insights, creating real moments of intrigue, curiosity, and fascination, and making them feel a part of the Porsche story.

In doing so, you'll inspire visitors, filling them with enthusiasm to get behind the wheel without obligation, and, ultimately, transforming them into Porsche owners – and loyal clients.

You won't be selling. Instead, as a genuine part of the Porsche family, you'll use your encyclopaedic knowledge of the brand, honest advice, and natural conversational charm to ensure every visitor feels as if they're comfortably chatting about a car you're both passionate about. By being authentic, you'll give them the information they need to make the right decision on the perfect car. In short, you will have the power to inspire complete customer satisfaction, and the innate ambition and enthusiasm to consistently deliver unique experiences, rather than meet targets.

What will you be doing?
In the role of Trainee Sales Executive, you will:

  • Analyse customer needs, interests, and specific preferences, using your extensive knowledge and professional instincts to identify the appropriate model and recommend to customers the optional features that you think will truly benefit their lifestyle.
  • Initiate customer investment in the Porsche story and their favourite model, before introducing them to your Sales Consultant colleagues.
  • Seamlessly forward them on to the welcome journey of Porsche ownership.
  • Beyond the showroom, you'll be a constant provider of support, proactively sharing your expertise with others, taking ownership over training and even sharing your knowledge with team members that you interact with across the business.

Who are we looking for?

  • Flexible communicators who are completely focused on the customer.
  • Professionals with a genuine interest in cars and the latest technology.
  • Composed characters with experience in luxury retail and customer care.
  • Team players who will guide colleagues to create brand loyalty, product curiosity, and an exciting environment where we work and customers relax.
  • Empathetic storytellers who can form genuine bonds with customers, inspire their thinking, instil trust, and reinforce the values and benefits of Porsche.

About the rewards
For the role of Trainee Sales Executive, the hours of work are Monday to Friday 8.30am to 6.30pm (with a designated day off) and every Saturday 9.00am to 5.00pm. There is a basic salary on offer of £27,000 per annum, with an annual bonus of circa £2,500. You will also receive a fantastic benefits package, including:

  • 25 days holiday per year plus bank holidays.
  • VWG Company funded vehicle.
  • Option of a 2nd VWG Vehicle at Preferential Leasing Rates.
  • Private Medical Insurance.
  • Life Insurance.
  • Staff preferential rates.
  • Employee Discounts Programme.
  • Employee Assistance Programme.
