The main purpose of the Receptionist position is to ensure that incoming calls through the dealership switchboard are answered promptly and professionally. The position also involves managing the front desk and creating a welcoming environment for walk-in customers.

The Receptionist is expected to provide customers and callers with accurate information and ensure that messages are communicated to the appropriate employees without unnecessary delays.

Because the reception area creates a first impression of the dealership, professionalism, friendliness, reliability and attention to detail are important requirements for this position.

Key Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be responsible for a range of reception and administrative duties. These responsibilities include professionally welcoming customers who visit the dealership and ensuring that they receive appropriate assistance.

The Receptionist will also be required to handle incoming telephone calls professionally. This includes answering calls promptly, identifying the purpose of each call, taking accurate messages and ensuring that messages are relayed to the relevant employees as quickly as possible.

Additional responsibilities include maintaining the reception and coffee bar areas. These areas should remain clean, neat and presentable throughout the working day to provide customers and visitors with a professional environment.

The Receptionist will also provide callers and customers with accurate information. This requires staying informed about relevant dealership information and keeping up to date with changes that may affect customers or other stakeholders.

Problem-solving skills are also required. The candidate should be able to identify problems, isolate the relevant issues and use appropriate techniques to find practical solutions.
