Officially entitled “Customer Diamond” this is a pro-active role where a tremendous first impression is critically important, from a polite and attentive welcome to walk-in customers to a timely, professional and helpful response to phone and email enquiries.

Duties include answering incoming calls and directing them to the relevant department in an attentive, helpful and welcoming manner, hospitality: warmly welcoming customers, colleagues and VIPs to the dealership and directing them in a helpful manner, maintaining the showroom’s point of sale material, handling incoming and outgoing post, plus other front of house / customer service duties in line with the remit.

• handling a computer-based messaging system
• incoming/outgoing post and deliveries
