About you
You thrive on the phone, operating confidently in a fast-paced, high-volume outbound environment where quick qualification and decisive movement are key. You're someone who lives and breathes performance cars, whether you’ve sold them, worked around them, or you’re a genuine enthusiast who can’t stop talking about cars.

You’re commercially sharp, persuasive without being pushy, and motivated by targets, competition and growth. You’re energised by the idea of helping to build a brand-new category from the ground up, and you take pride in being organised, responsive and disciplined with your CRM habits.
