This included accessorising the cars to a Brand Standard manner, displaying Brand Point of Sale around the showroom, and making sure that the best customer experience was had at all times.I regularly achieved extremely high 'Add-on' sales, including GAP insurance, and also Volkswagen Approved Autoglym Lifeshine.

I then became a fully accredited Volkswagen Sales Executive in November 2014, the youngest in the UK to be fully qualified.I was also a Digital Champion at Volkswagen, meaning I had to ensure all iPads were updated, charged, clear and ready for customers / fellow executives to use. I would also update our Facebook page, with positive customer comments (of course, replying to any negative comments in a timely and effective manner), photos of customers on handover/collection, and regular special offers and updates from Volkswagen UK. I also updated our Twitter page. This brought in a massive amount of outside custom and interest in our centre.I’ve was also given the ‘Brand Maker’ role at Volkswagen for the centre. This meant I had been recognised by management and Volkswagen UK for delivering exemplary customer service, and I had to report any good customer service that I saw any of the staff deliver at our retailer, to our main Brand Maker site. This helped spread the word, and will eventually help Volkswagen meet their customer satisfaction target in the UK. This was a very involved role, and involved me driving to brand maker meetings around the country to represent our retailer. Show less
