► Job Opening – Product Expert @ Apex Race Parts

Are you passionate about performance cars? Do you find yourself researching mods and giving your friends advice on how to set up their cars? If you’re determined to find a job that combines your career with your passion, then this is your chance! APEX Race Parts is seeking enthusiasts who want to join our elite team of Product Experts.

There are no cold-calls or sleazy sales techniques here, and you don’t need sales experience. We’re enthusiasts first and foremost. At APEX we take customers under our wing, help them identify their true needs, and then pass on our wisdom. We ensure customers take a holistic approach to modifying their cars, and that they feel enlightened by the time their purchase is complete. That’s how spending money on go-fast parts should feel.

Your day will consist of answering questions, giving fitment recommendations, light order processing, and post-purchase support. Your objective is to make technical info easy to digest, decrease response times, and support the continued expansion of our company. The majority of your interactions will be via email, car forums, and over the phone. Although you’ll take pride in your one-on-one customer interactions, your real success will come from your ability to teach the community en masse by continually improving our fitment guides, forum threads, and product pages.

Our Product Experts:

• Provide customers with detailed wheel/tire/suspension/brake fitment recommendations and product education.
• Use our CRM to track and process all customer questions and issues until they’re solved.
• Use our project management tools to stay organized and to collaborate with coworkers.
• Help our knowledge survive the apocalypse by assisting our experts to document, organize, and build out detailed technical guides for use in our internal and customer facing Help Desks.
• Help transform our website into a 24/7 sales machine by continually improving educational and product content in order to reduce customer dependence on email or phone for clarification.
• Get hands on with the community by engaging in relevant automotive forums, where you’ll answer questions, maintain our commercial threads, and post guides.
• Defeat trolls by keeping yourself composed and writing responses so sensible that it blows their minds.
• Represent our company and products as we introduce ourselves into new automotive communities, makes, and models
• Be our customers’ spokesperson and represent their “pain-points” as APEX selects new products to develop for the community.
• Learn to support additional products as the catalog expands.
