Wigan business offers a warm welcome

A Wigan lady got more than she bargained for when she visited Corkills Volkswagen.

Raili Zverev, 23 and her fiancé, Andy, didn’t just buy a new Polo when they visited the Wallgate showroom one Sunday afternoon in July, Raili got a job offer.

While discussing the purchase with salesman Dean Atkins Raili commented that the showroom seemed to be a nice place to work which prompted salesman Dean Atkins to tell her about an opening for a showroom host that was coming up within the business.

Having worked in childcare for 3 years, Estonian born Raili was keen to try something new and couldn’t believe her luck when she found out about the opportunity.

Jacqui Kaye, Brand Manager at Corkills Volkswagen, said: “We are always on the lookout for talented people who are keen to learn and understand the importance of great customer service. Raili joined the team as a showroom host on 27th July 2015 and has already proved to be a great asset to the team with her enthusiasm and professionalism.”

Volkswagen showroom hosts provide a face to face welcome and central point for customers visiting a showroom or service department. They provide information, refreshments and look after customers until a sales or service representative is available to take the enquiry further.

“Who would’ve thought that while buying a new car I would also get the chance to work in a Volkswagen showroom, I can’t believe how lucky I have been”, said Raili, “It has only been three weeks but I can honestly say that this has been the best job I have ever had. It’s great chatting to the customers and getting to know our regular visitors and I have learnt so much about the Volkswagen models available.”

Jacqui added: “Our showroom hosts undergo a series of e-learning modules to educate them about the wide range of models and specifications currently available from Corkills Volkswagen.”

“The company has strong values on service, professionalism and reliability which is equally echoed across the Volkswagen brand and our showroom hosts provide that extra touch to offer our customers the high level of customer service that people have come to expect.”

Corkills Volkswagen, Wallgate, Wigan offer an extensive range of new and used Volkswagen models, servicing & MOT along with a full parts & accessories service. For more information visitwww.corkills.com
