The opportunity

Hampson Auctions is a specialist auction house operating in the classic, performance, prestige and collector vehicle market.

We handle everything from desirable modern performance cars and supercars through to significant classic and investment\-grade vehicles, working with private owners, collectors and enthusiasts across the UK.

As we continue to grow, we are looking to add one exceptional Sales Executive to our team.

This is not an entry\-level sales position. We are looking for someone with a proven ability to sell, build relationships and, most importantly, close.

For the right person, the earning potential is substantial.

The role

Your primary responsibility will be securing quality vehicle consignments for our auctions.

You will manage both inbound opportunities and proactive outbound activity, speaking directly with private vendors, collectors and owners considering selling their vehicles.

You will be expected to:

  • Convert enquiries and opportunities into confirmed auction consignments

  • Proactively identify and approach potential vendors

  • Build credibility quickly with owners of valuable and specialist vehicles

  • Manage negotiations confidently and professionally

  • Maintain a strong pipeline and follow up consistently

  • Build long\-term relationships with collectors, vendors and industry contacts

  • Work towards clear individual and team targets

  • Take ownership of opportunities from initial conversation through to confirmed consignment
You will regularly be discussing vehicles worth tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds, so confidence, credibility and professionalism are essential.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a proven salesperson and closer who is commercially driven, competitive and motivated by earning potential.

Relevant backgrounds could include:

  • Motor trade or automotive sales

  • Recruitment

  • Property

  • Finance

  • High\-ticket B2B or B2C sales

  • Other commission\-led sales environments
Previous experience with classic or performance cars would be advantageous, but it is not essential.

Sales ability matters more than automotive knowledge.

If you can sell, communicate effectively and close consistently, we can teach you the specialist market.

What we expect

You should be able to demonstrate:

  • A consistent track record of achieving or exceeding sales targets

  • At least two years' proven sales experience

  • Confidence handling high\-value conversations

  • Strong negotiation and closing ability

  • Excellent telephone communication skills

  • Relentless follow\-up and pipeline discipline

  • Commercial awareness and good judgement

  • Professionalism, credibility and accountability

  • The ability to work independently without constant supervision

  • Resilience and confidence when dealing with rejection
This is a genuine performance environment. Your results will matter, and strong performance will be rewarded accordingly.

What we offer

  • £30,000 basic salary

  • Uncapped commission

  • Realistic OTE of £80,000\+

  • Top performers can earn significantly above OTE

  • Potential to earn £10,000\+ commission during strong auction cycles

  • Access to high\-quality vehicles and serious buyers and sellers

  • A specialist market where individual deals can carry significant value

  • A focused and ambitious working environment

  • Genuine opportunities for progression as the business grows

  • Immediate start available for the right candidate
Apply

If you have a proven ability to close, are motivated by uncapped earnings and want to build a career in the specialist classic and performance car market, we want to hear from you.

Please apply with your CV and details of your previous sales experience.

We are recruiting one additional Sales Executive and are looking for someone capable of performing consistently at a high level.
