- As our Customer Experience Associate - Yard Operations, you will be the first operational control point in the sales journey. You will respond quickly to incoming enquiries, capture accurate minimum-viable customer information, route each valid lead to the right Relationship Advisor, and ensure that the next qualified step happens without delay. This role is vital to Peach's single-owner operating model because it protects top-of-funnel speed, data hygiene, and clean handoffs.
- This is not a sales role; your job is to create momentum, accuracy, and confidence at the point of entry, while escalating commercial questions, privacy concerns, suspicious requests, and customer-experience risks through the correct channels.
Specifically, the Customer Experience Associate - Yard Operations at Peach can expect to lead/own the following customer interaction elements:
- Respond promptly to phone, WhatsApp, email, and walk-in enquiries of potential customers during staffed hours.
- Warmly greet and listen carefully to identify whether the customer is a buyer, seller, or trade-in customer, general guest, etc., and confirm a/o capture the minimum facts needed to move the contact forward.
- In buyer or seller cases, confirm key basics such as vehicle or category interest, timing, location, preferred contact method, finance interest, and next-step readiness.
Routing, Scheduling & Customer Momentum
- Assign each valid sales enquiry to the correct Relationship Advisor based on branch, stock type, language, workload, and customer need.
- Book the first qualified next step, including consultation calls, viewings, test drives, seller intake calls, or inspection slots.
- Send confirmations and reminders, and chase any missing basic information required before the next interaction.
CRM Discipline & Queue Control
- Create or update CRM records accurately and in real time.
- De-duplicate contacts, keep mandatory fields complete, and ensure that no valid lead sits unassigned beyond the first interaction.
- Monitor stale first contacts, broken handoffs, and queue hygiene issues, and raise them quickly.
Risk Escalation & Data Stewardship
- Escalate sales enquiries immediately rather than providing unauthorised services to customers.
- Escalate urgent complaints, suspicious behaviour, sensitive document issues, privacy concerns, and customer-experience risks through the correct channel.
- Capture only the data needed to progress the case, and avoid turning early-stage chat threads into insecure document repositories.
Team Contribution & Continuous Improvement
- Spot recurring lead-quality, routing, script, or tooling issues and feed them back to the wider sales operation.
- Contribute to service-quality reviews and help improve the speed and cleanliness of the customer intake process.
- Represent Peach professionally in every first interaction, knowing that this role often creates the customer's first impression of the company.
