What 自動車営業 do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

ここでは新車を販売する営業について記述する。
 自動車メーカー別の販売会社(ディーラー)で、顧客の好みに合わせて自社の自動車を販売する。
 自動車営業は、配属された販売担当地域において、自社の車を購入し使用している顧客の挨拶まわり、来店客の自宅への訪問、新旧の顧客への新車試乗会の案内などを行い、「お得意様」 を増やしていく。車は高価な買い物であるため、適切な助言とサービスで顧客の信頼を得ることが重要となる。また、来店客の比重が高まってきているため、店頭での商品説明や情報提供、販売も行う。
 顧客が購入を決めたら、注文書及び売買契約書を作成し、受注車両の在庫を確認して登録納車予定日を決める。顧客の要望に応じて、自動車登録の申請代行、自動車関係諸税の納付手続、自賠責保険・自動車任意保険の付保手続を行う。買い換えの場合は、下取り車の査定を行い、関係書類を作成する。その後、新車の整備状況を確認し、付属品、ナンバー取り付けをした後、顧客の指定した場所で納品し、代金を回収する。
 自動車の購入は「買い換え」が一般的であるため、既納顧客のフォローを十分に行い、次の販売に結びつけることが重要となる。このため、販売会社では顧客情報の管理が行われており、車の買い換え時期を見はからって効率のよいセールス活動ができるよう営業の支援を行っている。
 環境問題を重視する消費者もおり、使用済み自動車の処理、車の排出ガスや騒音規制に対する改良、省資源・省エネ対策、代替エネルギーを利用した自動車など、新しい技術や商品の知識が求められる。また、車に対する顧客の生の声を自動車メーカーにフィードバックすることも大切な仕事である。
