Great sales career opportunity! Not just another sales job, real room to build a successful sales management career in the south Sydney market.

Join the famous Dominelli Group and create a lasting professional sales career within one of the country’s most respected auto brands. 

Whether you are looking for a career change or product change we are offering opportunities across 3 of our dealerships including Ford, Nissan or Mazda.

The Dominelli name has a proud and incredibly successful history dating back to 1969. From being focused on Ford (pun intended) to now operating 6 dealerships over 4 locations through Southern Sydney the Dominelli Group is a major player in the Sydney motor retailing market.

This is your opportunity to remodel your sales career and while working in the automotive environment you have always wanted to be in!

The Challenge 

Maybe you’re tired – dead tired – of selling widgets or washing machines or standing in a superstore but love the consumer interaction. Or perhaps you’ve got other skills, understand technology but your knowledge isn’t valued and your day dull and repetitive. Or you want to get off the tools and do something with more variety and challenge?

The answer is join the high value consumer market of new car sales – embedded in the latest in continuously changing technology – which can give you the sort of financial future you’ve dreamed of.

However, without training and support selling is far from easy; the survival rate of people starting in high value sales roles is less than 10% within two years. Whilst for those that are suited to selling and are nurtured from the outset the rewards are spectacular.

Why is this? 

Think about it; you’re new to high value selling or you have a product which is a market chaser rather than a market leader and you’re trying to convince a customer that what may be the largest transaction this year and will impact their daily existence for years to come should be handed over to an unknown sales rep and small suburban business. These customers are understandably wary and attuned to any wrong signal.

Too often sales representatives are thrown in the deep end; given little more than product specifications, an old contact list and left to get on with it ALONE. Without any training they struggle through the work watching buyers walk out without a glimmer of engagement or spend hours prospecting continuously hearing: “you’re who?”.

SO WHAT ARE WE OFFERING TO ENSURE YOUR SUCCESS? 

Corporate strength family style 

Dominelli Group is that rare thing in the 21st Century automotive trade: a private company. From our opening in 1969 as a local in the St George area our legendary Ferdie Bird branding through the 70’s and 80’s has established us as a Sydney wide icon. Ferdie, named after our founder, gave us a place in the hearts and memories of Sydney siders like no other automotive business in Sydney. Our famous mascot always brings a smile and more importantly company recognition to every interaction.

Representing Dominelli you will never be asked; “you’re who?”.

We have been able to grow from a single brand sole site car dealer to the multi-brand group spread through the southern suburbs of Sydney we now are by always structuring the dealerships on solid business principals. We treat each other and our clients as family; like a healthy body a great business needs both brains and heart.

As we have grown our business has evolved through several structures to bring us to the joint leadership with our second generation of Dominelli ownership, Adam Dominelli. Adding to over 44 years of direct retail experience our group was joined in 2012 by an Australia’s premier business strategist for the automotive industry: Wayne Pearson, previously MD of Deloitte Motor Industry Services.

High Quality Personalised and Market Specific Training

We have been successful as a group because of our multi-levelled and structured approach to training and professional development.

Dealing as we are with technologically innovative brands we have access to manufacturer’s brilliant product knowledge and resources so that you will completely understand these beautiful cars and be a real product ambassador.

When you join us we have an initial process that ensures you are systematically exposed to the required products as well as all of our internal sales and administration tools. When you join one of our sales teams you are able to interact with customers with confidence.

Over time to further hone your skills, we conduct a variety of in-house training sessions supplemented by bringing in specialist trainers for advanced sales development. All the while you will report to, and be mentored by, an experienced new car franchise sales manager or dealer manager.

In 2013 we launched the Dominelli Academy of Excellence leadership program. This is a collection of courses over the year to build business and management skills. The course is designed to round out the knowledge base for staff moving to leadership roles across the entire group. It would also be the perfect introduction for staff wanting to undertake private study in business or even complete an MBA.

The options with us to start by perfecting your sales skills and then diversify to other topics that lead to management roles are extensive.

Exciting Products

With 3 of our leading brands in growth mode: Mazda Nissan and Ford we’ve got the market covered. All 3 represent leading technology, consistency and performance while still being within reach of most people.

In each of these dealerships you can offer a complete range of vehicles ranging from sub-small fuel misers to performance saloons, people movers and four wheel drive adventure vehicles; all of this with their uniquely different stamp on contemporary styling.

In our group we also have dealerships for Suzuki, Renault and Peugeot with further brand growth in the pipeline for 2014 and beyond. As each team and the group grows you will have an increasing range of opportunities for product variety and when you’re ready promotion to sales management and more.

Complete Service 

Each of our dealerships is able to offer one stop service: new cars, used cars, service, parts and finance. This means that you never have to risk a customer walking away because of finance or their trade in. Our expanding used car arm is a major support to new car sales teams as trade-ins can be taken immediately and to the maximum benefit of customers.

Our excellent service centre means that we offer a genuine comprehensive after sales service which builds customer relationships into the future.

Community profile 

We are proud sponsors of many local community events as well as provide on-going support to organisations like: Dominelli Group Women’s Surf Classic (a national surf title series), Cops and Robbers Program and our local De La Salle Foot Ball Club.

Finally you cannot be part of the Ford community, as long as we have, without being passionate about V8 Supercars. With Nissan joining the race in 2013 the excitement in the business has doubled. Reflecting on our long term participation with the V8 Super cars series we are giving a car away to benefit the Westmead Children’s Hospital at the Sydney event in December.

We love being involved in these community groups and the people of Sydney know who we are.

Is there a better way to build a sales career than this? We don’t think so!
