Dutton Automotive is Australia's largest retailer and wholesaler of pre-owned luxury, prestige, exotic, family and commercial vehicles. Established in 1911, we've built our reputation on delivering exceptional customer experiences, innovation, and industry-leading service.

As part of the global Sojitz Corporation, a Japanese conglomerate employing around 27,000 consolidated employees with 86 branches and offices, and over 540 subsidiaries and affiliates across the world.

Are you ambitious, customer-focused and looking to build a career in automotive sales?

Dutton One Gold Coast is looking for a motivated Sales Trainee to join our Southport Dutton One Retail team as part of a structured six-month development program.

This is an exciting opportunity to learn the automotive retail business from the ground up, receiving hands-on training and practical experience.

Throughout the Sales Trainee Program, you will be given exposure to different teams, customers and dealership environments while developing a strong understanding of the complete automotive sales process.

What you'll learn

Working alongside experienced automotive sales and operational leaders, you will develop practical skills across:

  • The complete Road to a Sale (RTAS) process.
  • Customer engagement and relationship building.
  • Understanding customer needs and matching them with the right vehicle.
  • Prospecting and developing new customer opportunities.
  • Sales negotiation and closing techniques.
  • Vehicle presentation and product knowledge.
  • Customer follow-up and relationship management.
  • Dealership processes, systems and compliance.
  • Working collaboratively with Sales, Finance and dealership operations teams.

You'll receive hands-on coaching and support throughout the program, with the opportunity to build the skills and confidence required to develop a long-term career in automotive retail.

Qualifications

What we're looking for

You don't necessarily need previous automotive sales experience. We're looking for someone with the attitude, drive and potential to become a successful automotive salesperson.

Ideally, you'll bring:

  • A genuine interest in developing a career in automotive sales.
  • A passion or strong interest in cars, particularly prestige and luxury vehicles.
  • Previous experience in sales, retail, hospitality or customer service would be advantageous.
  • Strong communication skills and confidence engaging with different customers.
  • A customer-first mindset and commitment to providing an exceptional experience.
  • A willingness to learn, take feedback and continuously develop.
  • A proactive, energetic and results-focused approach.
  • Professional presentation and the ability to represent the Dutton One brand.
  • A current Manual driver's licence.

Your career beyond the program

Our aim is to develop talented people who can build a long-term career within Dutton Automotive.

For the right person who successfully completes the program and demonstrates strong performance, there may be an opportunity to progress into a Sales Executive position within the Dutton One Queensland retail network, subject to business requirements.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
