Interview on Skype proved a successful

A transatlantic interview on Skype proved a successful introduction to Hendy Honda for sales executive Robert Petsinger.

Hendy Honda general sales manager Nick Edwards said that although unconventional, it provided an ideal way to recruit the new member to the sales team while he was still many thousands of miles away in Florida.

And the appointment is proving an early success for both parties with Robert selling a car on his very first morning in the role at the Cosham dealership.

“It was certainly a good start,’’ said Robert who has moved from Florida where he was also a Honda sales executive. “My wife and her family are from the UK so we decided to move here and it was great to walk straight into a new job selling the same excellent product as back in the USA.’’

General manager Nick said the Skype interview had given Robert a great chance to talk about his expertise and a face to face interview when he arrived in the UK sealed the appointment.

“Robert has certainly had a good start in his new life here in the UK with an early sale and his experience and a great product line up certainly helps,’’ said Nick.

While Robert is familiar with the Honda range he said there were some differences on either side of the Atlantic and he is also learning about the latest arrival in the Honda stable – the hybrid CR-Z.
