Deliver best-in-class customer service A Day in the Life: We always kick off the day with a morning meeting. To get the most out the team and set their day up right I believe that having interactive, fun meetings work best and this is what I like to bring to the table when I'm given the opportunity to carry out the meetings. I like to include refreshers like product presentation and quizzes and use presentations to keep the team up to date with the latest Special Offers and New Car Releases. This usually helps wake the team up and get the positive mindset flowing. Once our showroom is looking neat and tidy with all POS displayed correctly it's down to business where I spend the day supporting the Sales Team to get the most out of their day giving them a help in hand where they need it or helping them achieve a good quality sale with good quality customer service. We get enquiries sent through to us from the hub and something I hold close to my heart is actioning every enquiry quickly with quality in order to get to the customer first and provide a top quality experience. A digital lead should be treated with the urgency of a customer standing in the showroom. The sales side of things is usually work in and around the admin tasks which consume a great portion of the day. This can include completing Profit and Loss sheets, maintaining and updating a delivery doc, calling customers cars off from the port, reporting financial forecasts to the management team, reporting registration forecasts to the Regional Operations Manager and the Brands, searching and obtaining stock for new customer orders and attending monthly meetings with the Brand's directors. It's important for us here at Manchester to ensure all the admin is right and in place so we can focus solely on selling the next car and looking after the next customer. With a Sales Admin background, I believe in a clear desk provides a clear mind helping us to function at 100% ability in the areas that we need to the most. I stand by treating every customer like it's your mother, father, brother, sister, auntie, uncle, grandparent or cousin. This way our team will go that extra mile for everyone they meet and provide the true Stellantis experience. It's ideal to monitor the performance of the Sales Team to have keep them on the best possible path to maximise their ability as Sales Advisor so regular 1 on 1's are carried out throughout the month."
