Meet the Team - Elle Lane

Career Journey and Recent Achievements
Elle Lane began her career with Poole Audi in July 2021 as a Digital and Telesales Specialist. Her most recent achievement is earning the Audi New and Used Car Sales Executive Accreditation with an impressive score of 95%. Although selling cars isn't part of her current role, Elle's accreditation showcases her extensive knowledge and skill in the field, positioning her as a valuable asset to the team.

Accreditation Process
Elle's accreditation process was rigorous, consisting of three stages. The first stage involved qualifying the customer to find an Audi model that met their needs. In the second stage, Elle performed a five-point presentation of the vehicles, including a walk-around in the showroom to highlight the features and benefits of each Audi model. The final stage required her to go through an offer sheet and close a deal. She received guidance from her colleagues and underwent a year of online training to prepare for the accreditation.

Career Path and Current Role
Elle transitioned from working in travel to automotive industry. Her move to Poole Audi has allowed her to continue engaging with customers and honing her sales skills, albeit with cars instead of holidays.
In her current role, Elle handles digital inquiries that come through online. She contacts customers to discuss car details and schedules appointments. Once the initial details are confirmed, she passes the lead to a sales specialist who takes over from there. Elle's new qualification allows her to extend her support beyond just passing leads, offering a more comprehensive service. Elle enjoys the daily interactions with customers, making each conversation personable and engaging. Her ability to connect with different customers and address their specific needs makes her an integral part of the customer experience at Poole Audi. Elle loves the team at Poole Audi, describing her colleagues as lovely and supportive. The positive work environment contributes significantly to her job satisfaction, making her experience at Poole Audi enjoyable and fulfilling.

Favourite Audi Model
Elle's favourite Audi model is the RS Q3 Sportback Black Edition, which she loves for its sporty feel and sleek design.

Interesting Fact
An interesting fact about Elle is that she worked abroad in Spain for a year as a rep for Thomas Cook. This experience adds a unique dimension to her background, highlighting her adaptability and customer service skills in diverse settings.

Ocean Automotive Limited trading as Poole Audi is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Ocean Automotive Limited trading as Poole Audi to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes Volkswagen Financial Services UK. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to Volkswagen Financial Services UK, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives and which you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and Volkswagen Financial Services UK may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.

At the end of the agreement there are three options: i) retain the vehicle: pay the optional final payment to own the vehicle; ii) return the vehicle; or iii) replace: part exchange the vehicle, finance subject to status.
