Simply Sports Cars is a dynamic company that is growing year on year. We have been Lotus dealer of the year for the past 3 years and are about to embark on the next growth phase of our organisation.
This is an opportunity for you to join Australia’s leading Lotus dealership and play a key role in the sales area. We are looking for an enthusiastic individual who possesses the skills, passion and motivation to drive new and pre-owned vehicle sales and promote the Lotus lifestyle that comes hand in hand with Lotus ownership.
Duties include:
Selling a niche brand like Lotus requires a hands on approach to sales. You must be willing to own and drive all facets of the sales cycle, from the posting of vehicles ads to vehicle handover and everything in between. You will also need to understand and be able to properly position the many aftermarket products that SSC have developed for the Lotus brand.
You must be willing and able to:
- Create and post vehicle advertisements.
- Keep vehicle stock in presentable condition within the showroom.
- Maintain an accurate prospects database.

- Complete new vehicle orders in accordance with Lotus procedures.
- Work closely with our Marketing and Events manager to maximise lead traffic.
- Work closely with our Service team to ensure vehicles are prepared for handover on time and meet quality expectations.
- Liaise with wholesale buyers for trade in vehicles that are not suitable for resale in our dealership.
- Prepare deal commercials for review and approval
To be successful in this role you will:
- Have a proven track record of vehicle sales. Previous experience selling Lotus or similar car brands is preferable but not essential.
- Demonstrate a passion for the Lotus brand.
- Have strong attention to detail.
- Have strong commercial acumen when it comes to constructing a sale that delivers value to customer and SSC alike.
- Be able to articulate the “Lotus lifestyle” value proposition.
- Understand the competitive landscape and the strategies required to compete.
- Have a current full driver’s licence and be able to drive a car with manual transmission.
The position is available for immediate start.
