Job Introduction
Trainee Sales Consultant
Pentagon Motor Group – Derby Dealership
Pentagon Motor Group has an exciting and rare opportunity for a Trainee Sales Consultant to join the fantastic team at our Huddersfield dealership.
This role is ideal for someone looking to build a long-term career in the motor industry, supported by industry-leading training, mentoring, and clear progression.
Is this you…?
- Are you ambitious, self-motivated, and driven to succeed?
- Do you have a genuine passion for cars—new and used—and the automotive industry?
- Are you enthusiastic about delivering outstanding customer experiences?
- Are you comfortable using technology and keen to keep up to date with the latest innovations?
- Do you take pride in doing things properly and striving for excellence in everything you do?
If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
What will you be doing?
As a Trainee Sales Consultant, you’ll learn every aspect of the vehicle sales process while working alongside an experienced and supportive team.
With full training and guidance, you will:
- Take time to understand each customer’s needs and build genuine, lasting relationships.
- Deliver a first-class, transparent, and enjoyable buying experience.
- Learn how to present and sell new and used vehicles confidently and professionally.
- Support customers with finance options, add-on products, and aftersales solutions.
- Follow up with new and existing customers via telephone and digital platforms.
- Work towards agreed performance goals as your confidence and experience grow.
- Represent the Pentagon brand with professionalism, integrity, and enthusiasm.
Customer care always comes first—and we’ll teach you everything you need to succeed.
Training & Development – What we’ll give you
We are fully committed to your success and long-term development.
You will receive:
- A structured in-house training programme from Day 1.
- A dedicated experienced Sales Consultant “buddy” to guide and support you.
- Full manufacturer training, with the goal of becoming brand-accredited within 12 months.
- Ongoing coaching, feedback, and clear career progression opportunities within the Pentagon Group.
No previous motor industry experience is required—we’re looking for the right mindset, not a CV full of sales roles.
Salary & Rewards
- £30,000 basic salary for the first 3 months
- Following a successful probation period (where both parties are happy), you’ll gain access to:
- Our generous commission scheme
- A company demonstrator vehicle
- All benefits currently available to our Sales Consultants

- Fully funded, nationally recognised qualifications

- Salary Finance
- 24-hour Employee Assistance Programme and Mental Health First Aiders
- Pension scheme contributions
- Friends & family customer referral payments

Who are we looking for?

You’ll ideally have:
- A strong work ethic and a desire to succeed
- Excellent communication and people skills
- A passion for delivering outstanding customer service
- Confidence using IT systems and modern technology
- A positive, professional attitude and willingness to learn
