01 . Stay long enough to be known
Tenure beats turnover.
Buyers come back to people, not departments. The team that’s here in 2030 will be most of the team that’s here in 2026. That’s the bet.
05 . Careers . If the floor pulls
We hire slowly,
then we keep people.
Most of the team has been here longer than five years. Some longer than fifteen. The dealership is small enough that every hire matters and big enough that the work is varied. If you’re reading this and the floor pulls, write.
Who fits
Long memory. Steady hands. Sharp on detail.
The dealership runs on repeat custom and word-of-mouth. The people who do well here are the ones who think one car ahead of the buyer.
02 . Floor sense over scripts
Read the buyer first.
A retired surgeon collecting the third Porsche of their life walks differently to a contractor buying their first AMG. The team that gets that without being told sells the most cars.
03 . Detail you can’t fake
The file is the relationship.
A clean file, accurate notes, a follow-through that lands when promised. The unglamorous half of the job. The half that decides whether the buyer comes back next time.
How we hire
Slow on purpose.
Four steps. Four weeks at the outside. We don’t use external recruiters and we don’t do mass interviews.
01
A short note
A paragraph or two on the floor you’d want to be on. CV is welcome, not required. The note is the thing we read first.
Reply within the business day
02
A coffee
Forty-five minutes with the relevant manager. Not an interview, a conversation. We’re working out whether the work fits the person, not the other way around.
Within the week
03
A morning on the floor
A half-day shadowing the role. Paid. Lets both sides feel the texture of the work before signing.
Following week
04
An offer or a no
A clear answer either way within a week of the trial morning. No silence, no ghost-out. If we say no, we say why.
Final week
