The Top 5 Must-Have Qualities For Car Sales
What are the top 5 qualities that a leading Dealer Principal would look for in a car sales candidate? We spoke to a dealer principal of a dealership and asked them what were the five main things they look for in a candidate they are interviewing. Here is what they said! 1) Communication The core skill behind any successful salesperson is the ability to communicate with their customer effectively; the world of car sales is no different! Having the ability to understand the customers wants and needs through talking to them and building rapport is very important. People buy from people and communication is the key to building a great, long lasting relationship! 2) Hard Work Ethic Selling cars is unlike your average sales role. Weekends, Bank holidays, some evenings and holidays are some of the busiest times for the industry. With this in mind, it is important that the candidate is prepared to put the long hours and the hard graft in to make sure they are on and above target each month! September and March are the busiest months of the year in new car sales as this is the plate change months. The money is there to be made- but you need to put the hours in! 3) Financially Motivated The harder a car salesperson works, the more cars they sell and the more money they make!

How to use the STAR interview response technique
Whether you’re new to the automotive industry, or simply going for a new role with a new company, interviews can feel like quite daunting and sometimes stressful experiences. It’s common for interviewers to ask a variety of competency-based questions to understand a candidate’s skills and experience. These can seem overwhelming when put on the spot in an interview, but they don’t need to be! The STAR interview response technique can really help when it comes to answering these competency questions. These questions will often start with ‘Describe a time when…’ or ‘Can you give an example of…’ STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action and Result and can be very useful for breaking down your answers to provide concrete examples. Before you begin your answer, you should take a moment to prepare and think of an example of situation that best fits the question asked and that you think you’ll be able to talk about confidently. Once you have this, follow the below approach. Situation Start off by clearly explaining the situation that you’re going to be using as your example. Was it at your current job, a previous role, were other team members involved? This doesn’t have to be lengthy, but make sure it gives context so that the rest of your response makes sense to the interviewer. Task Next describe what you were responsible for in the situation. Maybe your line manager asked you to do something, or perhaps you used your own initiative. Did you need to meet a deadline, achieve a specific result or overcome a problem? Action This is where the interviewer will be looking our for key skills that they’re looking for in a potential candidate. What did you do? How did you do it? Be sure to refer to any key skills required in the job description and make sure to refer to what you did, using ‘I’ instead of ‘we’. Result Finally, explain the outcome of your actions and the result of the task. Hopefully, the result was positive, but you can also draw any lessons you learnt from the experience. Here it could be good to draw on any specific feedback you received from your manager or clients, whether you met targets and the overall outcome. Whilst you can’t pre-empt the questions that will be asked, you can use the job description and essential skills to get an idea of what may be asked. Having a few strong examples ready ahead of the interview will ensure you’re feeling more confident.

How to regain motivation after a holiday
Counting down the weeks until your next holiday or planning when to take some well-deserved annual leave? Holiday season is upon us, meaning you’re most likely getting excited about taking a little time off work; and rightly so! Getting the balance between work and time-off is so important and a week off in the sun is a great way to relax. However, we know that getting back into the swing of things after a break can be hard. Here are a few of the ways you can regain motivation at work after a holiday. Be prepared Before you go away, try not to leave any loose ends for your return. Make sure you set your out of office, handover any tasks to your manager or relevant colleague and ensure everything is in place for when you get back. This way you won’t spend your holiday worrying about an email you didn’t respond to or a job that wasn’t quite finished. Don’t forget your routine It can be difficult to jump straight back into a routine after a week or two of no alarms, but it’s best to get straight to it! Forget snoozing your alarm on your first day back, instead get up straight away, have a good breakfast and pick up where you left off. Go for a catch-up Some time off can leave you feeling a little out of the loop. It’s a good idea to arrange a catch-up with your line manager or meeting with your team on your first day back. This way you can avoid any surprises, find out anything you’ve missed and have a good chat with your colleagues whilst you’re at it. Remember why you love it We all love a holiday but, if we’re doing it right, we should love our jobs too. It’s only natural to spend some time wishing you were still enjoying the sunshine, but it’s also good to remind yourself why you do what you do. Love your team? Get real satisfaction from the job? Enjoy hearing great feedback from clients? Make a list of the things you love about your job and take a look at it when your brain starts wishing it were still in holiday-mode. Give yourself something to look forward to It’s always good to have some annual leave in the diary. Whether it’s another holiday later in the year, or a long weekend to recharge, why not start thinking of when next to take some holiday. Having something to looks forward to can often help you feel even more motivated in work – and motivation is key when working in the automotive industry! If some time off has left you re-thinking your career, maybe it’s time to make a change? Here at Auto Skills UK we’re on hand to help you find your next automotive job.

How to Set Achievable Goals
When it comes to your career, you more than likely have a few goals in mind that you’d like to achieve. You could be looking to bag that promotion, learn a new skill, or get the pay rise you’ve been after. Whether your goals are short-term or long-term, here at Auto Skills we believe that with the right action plan and a good dose of motivation, anything is possible! With that in mind, here are a few tips to help you on your way to achieving your career goals when it comes to your automotive career. Make them SMART You’ve most likely heard of SMART goals. Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time Bound. Specific – Be clear about what you want to achieve. Being vague won’t get you anywhere, so make sure your goals are clearly defined. Measurable – Include amounts, dates and other measurable achievements. For example, if your goal is sales focused, exactly how many sales do you want to have achieved and by when? Attainable – Make sure the goals you’re setting are realistic. Find the right balance between something that you know will be easy to achieve, and something that you feel is impossible. Relevant – Your goals should be relevant to the direction you want to take your career in. Time Bound – Give yourself a deadline and work towards this. This gives you something to work towards and, if all goes to plan, something to look forward to! Break them down If you want to achieve something big, sometimes it can seem a little daunting. So why not break down your goals into smaller, more achievable chunks? This avoids the feeling of being overwhelmed and, when you’re able to tick things of one at a time, will make you feel as though you’re making progress. Write them down Writing down your goals can instantly make them feel more real. And, once you have written them down, make sure to keep them somewhere visible. It’s no good writing them down and then leaving them in a drawer or the back of the notebook. Put them somewhere you’ll see them often, whether that’s on your desk, next to your bed, on the fridge, or even make it your phone background! Don’t be afraid of failure You might come across setbacks and roadblocks when working to achieve your goals. Don’t let these deter you. Instead, look at everything as a learning experience and work out what you can do differently next time. If you need a helping hand in reaching your career goals within the automotive industry, get in touch today!
