This growing IT consultancy works with well-known businesses to streamline their business operations.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an individual looking to develop their sales and customer service skills.
The role is key to the continued growth of the company with the opportunity to develop into a sales
consultant.
This role includes new business development as well as generating sales from existing customers. It will
involve communicating with customers and creating awareness of the products that the business
promotes, installs and supports. The main responsibilities are:
- List cleansing and contact data collection
- Opportunity discovery and qualification through cold calling
- Supporting the sales consultants
- Answering inbound sales webtelephone enquiries
- Ascertaining customer requirements
- Ensuring quality of service through quarterly telephone calls to update the company's clients
and prospects
- Following up on marketing campaigns
- Managing and updating the companies CRM database
- Scheduling product demonstrations and sales meetings
- Organising and attending shows and events as needed
- Contributing to team meetings, updating and informing colleagues
The first 3 months of your employment will include formal classroom training, informal self--study, on-
the-job training and shadowing of experienced employees.
An initial development plan will be provided, discussed, monitored and progress reviewed for the
duration of the three month probation period. On successful completion a development plan will be
created and progress reviewed quarterly.
It is expected that the first year will be spent learning the ropes. There will be lots of telephone calling
and rapport building with existing customers and prospects. However, the role will develop into a face-
to-face sales consultant role with responsibility for developing leads into customers.
The package is £22-25k plus commission. We expect the successful candidate to earn an extra £3-5k in year one.
