Join us as a Sales Development Representative at Cushon - now part of WTW, the fastest growing workplace pension provider in the UK - a market worth £205 billion with over £1 trillion of Assets Under Management. Since 2017, Cushon has been transforming the traditional workplace pension landscape, bringing it into the 21st Century through our proprietary mobile technology, jargon‑free financial education, market leading sustainable investments and more.
This is a hybrid role, with the expectation of working 2 days per week from the office.
The Role
To increase our fast‑growing share of this lucrative market, we need full‑energy, money motivated and think‑on‑your‑feet SDRs to open more doors. Primarily through cold calling, you’ll contact Finance and HR Directors, concisely and compellingly highlighting the problems you know they’re facing with their current outdated and uncommunicative pension provider, to whom they and their employees have been collectively sending hundreds of thousands, even millions, of pounds. You will pique their interest in hearing more about how Cushon can ensure they finally glean value from their most expensive employee benefit.
Your top priorities will include:
- Booking meetings with FDs and HRDs for the Cushon Account Executives to follow up with.
- Gaining a deep understanding of the entire Cushon proposition including Marketing, Client Success, Implementation and Investment, and how we fit in the competitive landscape.
- Always maintaining a highly professional manner in interactions with both clients‑to‑be and all Cushon teams.
- Prioritising and excelling in these will put you in great stead for your career ahead.
Qualifications
What you’ll bring:
- Grit and discipline because you will not be motivated after getting 70 voicemails. Create your own luck and go again.
- To be able to think on your feet, expect the “no’s” - that’s when your job starts.
- Flawless spelling, grammar and attention to detail. Your emails with typos will be binned. Take pride in your work; you are the first impression.
- Energy; it’s contagious and you will get nothing but “no’s” if you’re flat.
- Knowledge - is POWER, people buy from those they trust, so be an expert.
- You do not need sales experience, you need a hungry, can‑do, will‑succeed attitude.
In return you’ll benefit from:
- Being part of the best performing team in the business.
- Being surrounded by high performing salespeople to learn and grow with.
- Being supported by excellent revenue operations program and sales training.
- Having the opportunity to progress within the Mid‑Market sales and benefit from a fantastic entry to a career in sales.
- Ongoing training and access to online sales enablement tools like HubSpot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Cognism and more.
What we offer:
Enjoy a benefits package designed to help you thrive, both professionally and personally. You'll receive 25 days of annual leave plus an extra WTW day to relax and recharge. Our comprehensive health and wellbeing offering includes private healthcare, life insurance, group income protection, and regular health assessments, all giving you peace of mind. Secure your future with our defined contribution pension scheme, featuring matched contributions up to 10% from the company. We support your growth and balance with hybrid working options, access to an employee assistance programme, and a fully paid volunteer day to make a difference in your community. On top of these, you can opt into a variety of additional perks including an electric vehicle car scheme, share scheme, cycle‑to‑work programme, dental and optical cover, critical illness protection, and much more.
