Responding to customer enquiries and helping to resolve issues
Escalating critical customer concerns through the appropriate channels
Delivering product or technical training to customers when required
Working closely with colleagues across the business to improve sales and customer satisfaction
Consistently working towards individual and team targets
About you We are looking for someone who has:
Previous experience in sales, business development, telesales, recruitment, account management or a similar role
A strong desire to succeed and progress within a sales career
A confident and professional telephone manner
Experience or confidence in making outbound calls
A proactive, target-driven approach

The ability to learn products, markets and industry information quickly
Strong organisation and attention to detail
The ability to build rapport and credibility with a range of customers
Competent Microsoft Word and Excel skills
