You'll receive comprehensive training, ongoing coaching, and the support needed to become a high-performing sales professional.
This role is designed for graduates and early-career professionals. It is not aimed at experienced sales professionals with several years of industry experience.

Responsibilities Include

- Conducting outbound calls, emails, and LinkedIn outreach
- Building relationships with senior decision-makers
- Qualifying opportunities and understanding customer needs
- Generating new business opportunities for the wider sales team
- Learning consultative sales and business development techniques
- Managing your own pipeline and activity levels
- Working towards individual and team performance targets
This is an excellent opportunity for graduates looking to gain valuable commercial experience and develop a successful career in a fast-paced, rewarding environment.

- £30,000 - £35,000 starting salary
- Uncapped commission structure
- Realistic first-year earnings of £60,000-£70,000+
- Lifetime commission on accounts brought into the business
- Structured onboarding and graduate training programme
- Ongoing coaching, mentorship, and professional development
- Clear progression opportunities based on performance
- Team socials, incentives, and company events
- The opportunity to build a long-term career within a growing international organisation
What We're Looking For
We're interested in potential, attitude, and ambition rather than extensive sales experience.
Ideal Candidates Will Be
- Recent graduates or individuals at the beginning of their careers
- Ambitious and motivated by career progression
- Confident communicators who enjoy speaking with people
- Resilient, driven, and target-oriented
- Eager to learn and develop professionally
- Competitive with a strong work ethic
- Organised and proactive in their approach
- Previous experience in customer service, hospitality, retail, sports, events, fundraising, or leadership positions is advantageous but not essential.
Please Note - This is a full-time office-based role in Penrith, requiring attendance in the office five days per week.
