Description
Our client, a rapidly growing organisation in the finance sector, have an exciting opportunity for a bright and talented sales adviser to help them further expand their business and cement their brand as a household name. The position is temporary for approximately 6 months, and could extend for the right person.
The role involves making outbound sales calls to warm leads (for example lapsed customers), as well as cold-calling. A number of leads will be provided in the form of lists with contact information, however some research and lead-gathering is likely to be a component of the role.
A successful candidate needs to be self-motivated and ambitious, with an excellent phone manner and very high level of spoken English with excellent attention to detail. Experience of working within a phone-based sales role is a must; ideally within subscription sales.
You will be working as part of a small contact centre team located within the wider office environment (not a call centre). The team is sociable and friendly, with a start-up mentality in an established environment. The client is seeking an independent worker and KPIs will be based around sales only - you will not be micro managed.
This is an excellent opportunity to join an organisation in a forward thinking environment. There may be opportunities to expand and define your own role and specialism as the team grows.
Hours of work are typically from 9am - 5.30pm Monday to Friday, however, for the right person some flexibility could be negotiated, for example an early or late start and finish to fit around other commitments.
