Base + Commission | Training & Development | Join a Proud Southland Family Business
Southland Vehicle Sales (Southland Kia & Isuzu) is a locally owned business with genuine family values, built for the long haul.
With over 30 years of service to Southlanders, their success is founded on a simple, relationship driven philosophy that guides how they treat every customer.
We’re looking for a New Vehicle Salesperson to join the team representing Kia — an internationally recognised brand — in a supportive, high-performing environment where doing a great job is genuinely valued.
The Opportunity
This role would suit either an experienced vehicle salesperson ready to join a leading Southland dealership team, or someone new to the motor industry who has strong relationship skills, personal drive, and integrity and is keen to build a long term career in automotive sales.
You’ll be supported and mentored by a business that focuses on great service, quality vehicles, and strong internal support — with industry-leading advertising and lead generation to help you build momentum and maximise earnings.
What You’ll Be Doing
• Delivering a professional, welcoming customer experience from first contact to handover
• Building and maintaining strong customer networks (local community, repeat clients, referrals)
• Proactively managing enquiries, test drives, follow-up, and pipeline activity
• Working within franchise standards and dealership best practice
• Contributing to a team environment built on knowledge, respect, honesty, and doing right by people
What We’re Looking For
• People skills — confident, genuine, and able to connect with all walks of life
• Networking skills - established connections or the ability to build them quickly in Southland
• Integrity — trustworthy, honest, and consistent
• Positive, energetic and results driven mindset
• A proactive and dedicated approach to teamwork, communication, and customers
• Digitally savvy and can confidently learn and use software systems and programs
Training & Development
This is more than a sales job — it’s a career pathway. In addition to brand and product training, there is the opportunity to train in finance & insurance and participate in franchise-based excellence programmes to sharpen your craft and lift your earning potential.
What’s In It For You
• A strong platform and sales pipeline with base + commission and the opportunity to maximise your earnings by doing a fantastic job
• A supportive, established team and a business known for looking after customers for the long term
• Weekend work required, but a fair roster approach
• Work with a busy and trusted dealership with leading vehicle brands and systems, offering sales, service and finance
