Let's talk about the role
This is a fast-paced, target-driven sales position focused on converting opportunities from multiple lead sources and identifying new business opportunities across our landlord database. You'll be speaking with landlords daily, promoting our services and helping to grow our managed portfolio.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone from a sales, recruitment, telesales, estate agency, property, business development or high-volume outbound calling background who enjoys building relationships and exceeding targets.
It involves:
- Managing incoming web leads and booking Lettings Market Appraisals.
- Following up previous valuation appointments to secure instructions or arrange updated valuations.
- Contacting landlords to promote and convert them onto our Fully Managed service.
- Working through a database of prospective and existing landlords to identify opportunities and secure instructions.
- Proactively generating new business opportunities through outbound calls and relationship building.
- Monitoring market activity and contacting potential clients to win new business.
- Promoting additional services where appropriate, including mortgage appointments.
- Upselling rent and legal protection products.
- Identifying landlords considering a sale and arranging Sales Market Appraisals with the relevant team.
- Maintaining accurate records and consistently achieving activity and conversion targets.
- Making a high volume of outbound calls, with an expectation of approximately 100 calls per day.
We're looking for someone with:
- Previous experience in a sales-focused role such as business development, recruitment, telesales, estate agency, customer acquisition, call centre sales or similar.
- A confident and professional telephone manner.
- Experience making high volumes of outbound calls and generating opportunities.
- Strong communication, rapport building and relationship management skills.

- The ability to work in a target-driven environment and remain motivated by results.
- Proven experience working towards and exceeding KPIs or sales targets.
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
