Role Overview
Soum's car showroom is where customers meet the brand face to face. The After-Sales Specialist owns the customer experience from the moment a sale is signed through handover and beyond.
The goal is to ensure every customer leaves confident in their purchase, any issue is resolved quickly, and buyers become repeat customers who recommend Soum.
This is an urgent hiring opportunity. Candidates who can join within two weeks or less may be prioritized during the selection process. However, candidates with longer notice periods are still welcome to apply and will be considered.

Escalate complex cases to the Showroom Manager in line with approved procedures.
Contact every customer after their order is completed and the car is received, to confirm the car arrived in the agreed condition, that they have faced no technical, paperwork, or missing-accessory issues since handover, and whether they need further service or support.
Schedule regular follow-up calls, for example within 3 days and again 30 days after handover.
Open a ticket immediately for any issue the customer raises, follow it through to resolution, then check back to confirm they are satisfied.
Log the outcome of every follow-up call and all customer data accurately in the CRM system.
Offer relevant add-on services such as protection, window tinting, maintenance packages, and insurance.
Gather customer feedback and submit a monthly report on recurring issues and improvement suggestions.
