AutoScout24

🥨 O’zapft is! Staying true to Munich’s traditions, we had a fantastic day & evening reconnecting with our #AutoScout24Group colleagues at the 'Wiesn' yesterday. Greetings from Munich!🍻 #oktoberfest2024 #wiesn2024

🔎📒24 Anecdotes: AutoScouts' Stories Uncovered - #17 As part of our '24 campaign, Andreas Gebele, Director of Strategic Accounts & Partnerships, reflects on the impactful moment of presenting our new service packages to our dealers. "The launch of our new dealer service packages was a particularly memorable project for me for two reasons. First, we bundled our services into three packages that are as simple and user-friendly as possible, tailored to the different needs of our dealer partners, and developed in close cooperation with them. Second, the project represents an extraordinary team effort involving many departments and colleagues across AutoScout24. A personal highlight for me was when, after months of hard work, we presented the new packages to our dealer partners in person for the first time and received first-hand feedback. Ultimately, the positive feedback from our customers is the greatest reward and confirms that we are on the right track. Regular dialogue is essential for us to develop and improve our products and services continually. I look forward to many more talks with our customers." 👉What's the #ouryear24 campaign about?

As part of our #ouryear24 campaign, we wanted to discover what drives our young professionals. We spoke with Prewan Baladien, the  #CustomerCare Coordinator of #AutoScout24Netherlands, who is about to turn 24. He oversees daily in- and outbound tasks, striving for a positive customer experience and a satisfied team with a balanced workload. His journey showcases how we support our teams in learning new skills, sharing ideas, and collaborating effectively–reflecting our commitment to continuous growth and shaping the future together. ❓At almost 24, you’ve taken on a key role at AutoScout24. What inspired your career in quality management? 💬I used to browse AutoScout24 for fun, just like many young people interested in cars. When a job opportunity came up, I was immediately motivated to apply, and I got the job. I started in quality management and quickly leveraged my professional skills and experience as a user. I’m proud that, over the past 3.5 years, we’ve made significant quality improvements through our efforts in Quality Management in the Netherlands.   ❓What do you think is the biggest advantage of being a young professional in a fast-paced industry like automotive digital platforms? 💬The knowledge I’ve gained as a young professional, which I will continue to enrich over the years, is invaluable. As a young professional, the ability to adapt quickly is key to my development. Using new platforms such as social media keeps me up to date with the knowledge about current trends and topics required for the job, which in turn helps me support clients and colleagues. Being a coordinator at a young age also allows me to introduce new methods to the team and the organization.   ❓What excites you most about your role? 💬The opportunity to inspire and guide others to improve, helping the team reach new heights while remaining focused on serving our customers. Knowing that I can contribute to the organization's growth by applying the right skills and knowledge is very motivating. We are committed to continuous improvement, which leads to greater efficiency and, ultimately, more satisfied customers.   ❓What advice would you give to young professionals who want to enter the field of quality management? 💬My number one advice would be to find a job in a field you are passionate about. For me, working at AutoScout24 is a pleasure. It feels less like a job and more like a hobby that I get to work on every day. If you challenge yourself, you'll achieve your goals and continue to grow. I'd also suggest aligning your personal goals with those of the company and striving to exceed yourself. By constantly challenging yourself, you'll find that goals are achievable and long-term growth becomes possible. Thanks a lot for your time and for sharing your insights, Prewan!🙌 #workingatautoscout24 

🔎📒24 Anecdotes: AutoScouts' Stories Uncovered - #16 As part of our '24 campaign, our Software Engineer, Behtarin Ferdousi, shares a memorable anecdote that perfectly illustrates how coming together as a team creates unforgettable experiences: "One of the best things about working at AutoScout24 is the awesome company events. At a recent Builder's Event in Germany, we were joined by colleagues from several other countries as well as Leasingmarkt.de. We randomly teamed up with six colleagues and our challenge? Build a soapbox car out of wooden planks, screws, and a guidebook. None of us had ever done anything like it, but that was half the fun. We spent the morning piecing together our little vehicle and letting our creativity loose with crazy paint ideas and designs. Once built, we hopped on the car and rode it downhill for an exciting race. It was exhilarating watching our creation zoom down, wobbling but holding strong. Teamwork, laughs, and the thrill of riding our DIY car made it a day I won’t forget!" 👉What's the #ouryear24 campaign about?

🔎📒24 Anecdotes: AutoScouts' Stories Uncovered - #15   Explore the enthusiasm of our teams when we introduce a new product for our car dealers. As part of our #ouryear24 campaign, Nadine Zibirre, who has been working as a Senior Strategic Key Account Manager at #AutoScout24Germany for four years, shares insights from the kickoff of #DealerIQ.   "I have the pleasure of looking after the large dealer groups and really enjoy supporting my customers and helping them grow. For example, by providing them with various functions and products to help them manage their inventory efficiently. A particular highlight for me was when we launched DealerIQ. It is a suite of #AI-based tools that provide our dealer partners with critical data and unique insights to make the right decisions for their sales strategy.  DealerIQ provides real value and it's been great to see my customers having real 'aha' moments. But it's not just the customers who are impressed - our team is also seeing the positive impact. Working closely with the Customer Success Managers is key to providing a truly holistic approach to customer care.   It's exciting to be part of this journey and to see the synergy between our new products and our team grow.

On the occasion of Peter Brooks-Johnson’s first year as our CEO, we sat down for an interview to dive into his views on #innovation, #leadership, and what helps him unwind after a busy day. Gain exclusive insights, read the full interview here!👇      ❓ What role does innovation play in your company's strategy, and how do you foster it?   💬 Innovation is at the heart of what we do. As a tech company in the consumer space, to stand still is to go backwards. However, innovation doesn’t just live in big things and grand announcements. Innovation is in the small changes that make things better and the changes in the way we do things. I think a critical part of innovation is returning to our previous ideas and challenging ourselves to continuously innovate. Innovation can come from anywhere and anyone, the key to fostering innovation is listening to everyone! Perhaps slightly strangely, innovation thrives on failure, so trying things and celebrating the bold ideas which didn’t work is very important.      ❓ If you had to describe your leadership style in one word, what would it be and why?   💬 I was once told that CEOs aren’t very good at colouring inside the lines, so I’m going to use two words and say “intensely curious”! I love what we’re doing, but I’m much more interested in why we are following a path. I believe if you can help people understand the journey we're trying to take and why we're taking it, and at the same time be intensely curious about how they interpret that journey, we can be both focused and empower our great people to do great things. The other great luxury one has as a leader is that you get to hear lots of different things, from the latest product idea to the challenges our customers face. If you are intensely curious and get to the "why", you can help make connections to make our business better.     ❓ What hobby or interest do you pursue outside of work that helps you unwind?   💬 I try to cycle at least once a week for at least two hours. Given my low level of fitness, about all I can concentrate on is keeping the pedals moving! It’s a great way to get to see the quiet countryside that otherwise you rush past.  🙌Thank you, Peter, for taking the time to share your views with us. We’re thrilled to have you leading #AutoScout24Group and look forward to what the future holds under your guidance. #WorkingAtAutoScout24Group
