Tele sales Representative – New Business Development
Lincs County Loos | Alford, Lincolnshire | Full-Time | Office-Based
Working hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30am–5:00pm
About Lincs County Loos
Lincs County Loos is a family-run business based in Lincolnshire, providing toilet hire and welfare unit hire services to customers nationwide.
We pride ourselves on delivering reliable services, maintaining high standards and building long-term relationships with our customers. As the business continues to grow, we are looking to recruit a motivated and confident Tele sales Representative to help drive our next stage of growth.
The Opportunity
This is a proactive new-business sales position, with a primary focus on generating new customers and securing bookings for our welfare unit hire services.
The successful candidate will play an important role in expanding our customer base nationwide through outbound telephone sales, lead generation and relationship building.
Confidence, communication and resilience are essential.
You will be speaking with a wide variety of potential customers every day, introducing our services, identifying opportunities and developing new business relationships.
Not every conversation will result in a booking. We are therefore looking for someone who can handle rejection professionally, maintain a positive attitude and approach every new call with the same enthusiasm and confidence.
This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys sales, thrives on achieving results and wants to make a genuine contribution to the growth of an established family-run business.
Key Responsibilities
- Proactively generate new business through outbound telephone sales, actively using software such as Glenigan.
- Identify, research and approach potential customers across the UK.
- Promote our welfare unit hire services and communicate the benefits of working with Lincs County Loos.
- Develop new customer relationships across industries including construction, events and facilities.
- Follow up potential leads and previous conversations to convert opportunities into confirmed bookings.
- Build rapport with prospective customers and understand their individual requirements.
- Use effective sales techniques, basic negotiation and closing skills to secure new business.
- Maintain accurate customer information and sales activity records.
- Work towards agreed sales targets and contribute to the company's continued nationwide growth.
Skills and Experience
We are looking for an individual who possesses:
- Excellent communication skills: A clear, confident telephone manner and the ability to actively listen and engage with customers.
- Confidence and personality: The ability to communicate naturally and professionally with different types of customers every day.
- Resilience and determination: The ability to handle rejection, remain motivated and consistently pursue new opportunities.
- Sales ability: An understanding of lead generation, sales follow-ups, negotiation and closing bookings.
- Customer relationship skills: The ability to build trust, understand customer requirements and develop long-term business relationships.
- Adaptability and willingness to learn: The ability to quickly understand our services, systems and processes and apply guidance from management.
- Organisation and time management: The ability to manage daily activities effectively and work towards performance targets.
- IT proficiency: Confidence using basic computer systems. Experience with CRM or booking software would be advantageous.
Previous experience in tele sales, a call centre or a customer-facing sales position would be beneficial but is not essential for the right candidate.
Knowledge of the construction, events or facilities industries would also be an advantage.
What We Offer
- A full-time position within an established family-run business.
- A weekly wage with additional commission earned on successful sales.
- Monday to Friday working hours, 8:30am–5:00pm.
- A supportive working environment with guidance.
- The opportunity to take ownership of new-business development.
- The chance to play an important role in the continued expansion of a nationwide business.
The Ideal Candidate
Above all, we are looking for someone who is confident, outgoing, commercially minded and motivated by achieving results.
You must be comfortable picking up the telephone, approaching unfamiliar businesses and starting conversations with potential customers.
We want someone who understands that successful sales require consistency, persistence and a positive attitude. Someone who does not become discouraged by unsuccessful calls but instead sees every conversation as another opportunity to develop their skills and generate new business.
If you have the confidence, determination and drive to bring new customers into a growing business, we would be interested in hearing from you.
