Motus Corporation is looking for a New Vehicle Sales Executive to join the Kia South Africa team at its Sandton operation in Gauteng. This is a permanent sales opportunity for a customer-focused individual who can build relationships, identify potential buyers and guide customers through the vehicle purchasing process.
The successful candidate will be expected to work towards agreed sales targets while providing professional service throughout the customer journey. The role involves handling prospective customer leads, presenting suitable vehicle options, negotiating sales and ensuring that transactions are processed correctly and efficiently.
About the New Vehicle Sales Executive Role
The Sales Executive will play an important role in helping the dealership grow its new vehicle sales. This includes engaging with customers, developing sales opportunities and converting enquiries into completed transactions.
The successful applicant will need to understand customer requirements and provide appropriate information and support. Strong communication and persuasive selling abilities will be important when explaining vehicle features, discussing pricing and assisting customers with their purchasing decisions.
Customer follow-up is also an important part of the position. Sales opportunities may come from different sources, and the successful candidate will be expected to respond to leads and maintain contact with prospective customers in order to develop potential sales.
Key Responsibilities
The New Vehicle Sales Executive will be responsible for a range of sales, customer service and administrative activities, including:
- Identifying potential customers and developing new sales opportunities.
- Following up on enquiries and leads from prospective vehicle buyers.
- Building and maintaining long-term relationships with customers.
- Understanding customer needs and recommending suitable vehicles.
- Presenting vehicle products and services to potential customers.
- Negotiating prices and working towards the successful conclusion of sales.
- Completing vehicle sales transactions accurately and within required timeframes.
- Following up with customers after sales to maintain a high level of service.
- Working towards agreed sales and performance targets.
- Providing customers with accurate advice and assistance throughout the sales process.
- Handling customer concerns and helping resolve complaints efficiently.
- Supporting initiatives designed to increase new vehicle sales.
- Contributing to marketing campaigns aimed at generating additional sales opportunities.
- Reporting sales and transactional activities to provide management with relevant information.
- Applying established procedures and approved solutions when dealing with operational issues.
- Escalating problems that cannot be resolved at the appropriate level.
- Completing work in accordance with company governance and compliance requirements.
- Ensuring all sales activities are performed efficiently to minimise potential financial losses.
- Maintaining professional relationships with both internal and external customers.
Legal and Compliance Responsibilities
The successful candidate will also be required to follow the applicable legal and company requirements governing vehicle sales and customer information.
This includes ensuring that relevant sales activities comply with regulations such as the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA), the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and the Consumer Protection Act.
Accurate processing of customer and transaction information will therefore be an important part of the role.
Minimum Qualifications and Experience
Applicants should meet the following requirements:
- Matric / Grade 12 certificate.
- 3–5 years of experience in a similar sales environment.
- Valid South African driver’s licence.
Although the vacancy is listed under an entry-level experience category, applicants are expected to have relevant experience in a comparable sales environment.
Previous exposure to vehicle sales, automotive retail or a customer-facing sales environment may be particularly useful for candidates applying for this position.
Skills and Personal Attributes

Important skills and qualities include:
Sales development: The ability to identify potential customers and turn enquiries into viable sales opportunities.
Closing sales: Confidence in negotiating with customers and completing transactions.
Persuasive selling: The ability to communicate the value of products and services and respond appropriately to customer needs.
Product knowledge: An understanding of the products being sold and the ability to communicate relevant information clearly.
Trust and integrity: The ability to handle customer information and transactions responsibly while maintaining professional standards.
Strong customer service skills will also be important because the role requires regular interaction with customers before, during and after a sale.
