Engine and Transmission Sales Specialist

Engine & Transmission Sales Specialist

Company: Proof Response Group

Location: Remote (Offshore)

Employment Type: Full-Time

About the Role

Proof Response Group is seeking an Engine & Transmission Sales Specialist to help customers across North America who need major vehicle repairs such as engine or transmission replacements.

In this role, you will act as the key connection between customers and mechanics or installers. When customers contact us, their vehicle is often down and they need immediate assistance. Your job is to understand the situation, collect the necessary vehicle details, coordinate with mechanics, and move the job toward completion.

This is not a traditional sales role. Success in this position requires strong communication, industry awareness, and the ability to move mechanical jobs forward efficiently.

You will report directly to the company's Commercial Lead and Technical Lead, who oversee revenue strategy, vendor relationships, and operational standards.
