We’re looking for remote sales consultants to join our Co-op Legal Services probate team. We’re a fast-growing, innovative business with huge demand for our services, owing to our client first approach and strong brand presence. If you have the skills we need, we can offer you a fantastic opportunity to work in our industry leading team.

In this role you’ll meet with clients over the telephone and video to discuss the deceased estate and help them to make an informed choice about their legal planning. Our presence in the market means that many clients enquire with us, so you won’t need to do any prospecting, and you’ll make a real difference to the lives of our clients at a time when they need us most. You don’t need to have a legal background as we’ll provide training to develop your knowledge.

What you’ll do:

• Work closely with clients to understand their situation, taking an empathetic and considerate approach.
• Provide advice and information over the phone and via video on probate and estate administration to match the client’s needs.
• Finalise sales once clients have decided that the service is right for them.
• Work towards agreed KPIs.
• Proactively manage opportunities and prospective clients.
• Use a case management system and a telephony system to manage your work and client calls.

This role would suit people who have:

• Strong previous experience of consultative selling within regulated environments, such as Law, Finance or Professional Services.
• Great communications skills showing a positive, engaging, and empathetic approach.
• Proficiency in IT with the ability to learn new IT systems quickly.
• Emotional resilience and the ability to be professional even in difficult situations.
• The ability to work on your own and as part of a remote team.
• A willingness to learn with a passion for self-development.
