This opportunity suits someone who understands the automotive industry, enjoys winning new business and wants to build their own book of dealership accounts with the support of an ambitious, growing company.
About Warranties 4U
Warranties 4U provides warranty products for cars, motorcycles, caravans and motorhomes. We work with dealerships to help them offer protection to their customers, supported by clear product information, responsive service and a comprehensive dealer portal.
We believe strong dealer relationships are central to a successful warranty partnership. Our approach combines personal account support with practical tools that help dealerships introduce and manage their warranties.
As our business grows, we’re looking for someone who can confidently introduce our products, demonstrate our service and build lasting partnerships with dealers.
Your territory
Your territory will cover the South of England, from Gloucester and the GL postcode area eastwards, including the South West, London, South East and southern coastal areas. The precise postcode allocation will be confirmed during discussions.
This substantial territory offers opportunities across several vehicle markets. You’ll plan your prospecting, appointments and travel to develop a strong network of dealership partners.
The opportunity
This role combines winning new business with ongoing account management. You’ll identify prospective dealerships, introduce them to Warranties 4U and support those relationships as they develop.
From the first conversation through to onboarding and regular account reviews, you’ll be a key point of contact for your dealer partners.
You’ll have the opportunity to grow your book of business, backed by our team, marketing materials and dealership support resources.

Earnings and working arrangement
This is a self-employed, commission-only opportunity. There is no basic salary or guaranteed income. Earnings depend on sales performance.
There is no cap on commission earnings—the more sales you bring in, the more you can earn. You’ll have the opportunity to grow your book of dealership accounts and increase your earning potential as your sales develop.
The commission structure and payment terms will be explained during the recruitment process. Any advertised on-target earnings represent potential commission earnings and are not guaranteed.
