Fleet Manager Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles

Fleet Manager

Guildford Volkswagen

.

How does supplying vehicles from ALL of our thirty-five Lookers brands to large companies, right across the length and breadth of the UK sound? This could be your opportunity to make a lasting impact in our world of Lookers!

Don’t worry you will be working closely with and supported by our dedicated multi-franchise team whilst offering customers one point of contact irrespective of brand.

The role involves –

• Prospecting, and winning new corporate business
• Influencing and proactively managing your accounts to maximise customer purchases
• Taking responsibility for being the first point of contact of all accounts
• Working collaboratively with colleagues across the fleet team; this incorporates sharing learning and collaborating to maximise fleet sales
• Maintaining excellent customer service with all customers through regular virtual and physical touchpoints

 It is imperative you’re able to demonstrate a proven track record in corporate fleet sales, as well as having a strong portfolio of customers and industry contacts already in the bag. It is essential that you’re already well established within the fleet market! Perhaps you are supplying your customers with one or two brands, but they are also buying other brands from competition, that you are currently unable to supply! Join Lookers and open the door to more brands!

We are looking for an individual who can demonstrate a proactive approach in targeting large corporates who then in turn nominate Lookers for the supply of vehicles either via outright purchase or via their chosen leasing company.
