What we’re looking for
You don’t need experience within a particular industry to become a successful Sales Executive, but you will need a strong sales mentality and a genuine appetite for new business development.
We’re particularly interested in candidates who have experience in outbound B2B sales, cold calling or business development and understand the persistence required to achieve results.
Experience within media, advertising, sponsorship, subscriptions, recruitment or other commercially driven B2B sales environments could transfer particularly well, although other sales backgrounds will be considered.
You’ll need to demonstrate:
- Confidence making cold calls and approaching businesses that may not be expecting your call
- A proven ability to work towards and achieve challenging sales targets
- Resilience, determination and the ability to handle rejection without losing motivation
- A proactive, competitive and results-focused approach to sales
- Strong communication, negotiation and objection-handling skills
- The ability to work under pressure in a busy sales environment
- A genuine desire to earn commission and take ownership of your performance
Why join?
Around 70% of the team have been with the company for five years or more, while the current MD has progressed within the business over more than 20 years. It’s an established company that genuinely develops and retains its people.
For someone who enjoys sales, thrives on achieving targets and is prepared to put in the activity required to succeed, there is excellent earning potential and the opportunity to build a long-term career.
The office is based in Hertford, so you’ll need to live within a comfortable commuting distance.
If you’re looking for a Sales Executive position where you hard work and sales success are rewarded, we’d love to hear from you.
