THE OPPORTUNITY

A unique opportunity to work in an environment where success and honesty are equally valued and rewarded.

The role can be made your own, managing your own clients and workload - creating your own success.

Hours (minimum 25/30 per week, between 9am-5pm, Mon-Fri) can be tailored to suit the RIGHT applicant.

A past sales career is preferred, but the role needs a softer, more consultative - but still methodical and tenacious - sales approach.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

• Friendly, honest and hard-working
• Gifted with a professional approach and an eye for detail
• A well-spoken, intelligent, skilled, professional communicator
• Able to handle objections and rejection; B2B cold calling is key to the role
• Methodical and logical, familiar with the internet/Microsoft applications
• Able to empathise with a client, see their needs / challenges and proactively find solutions that can help them

YOUR EXPERIENCE

• Understanding of B2B service-based sales important
• Marketing agency, B2B services, Pharmaceutical marketing or medical education experience desirable
• A past sales career is preferred, but not required for the right candidate

THE ROLE

• You will use the telephone, email and other technologies to generate business for our clients. PLEASE NOTE: B2B cold calling is key to the role
• You will manage accounts for our clients generating quality sales leads and appointments for them - and more
• You will need to be intelligent, and a 'self-starter'
• You will be based at our brand-new, state-of-the-art Blue Bell Hill office - between Chatham and Maidstone - in a friendly, relaxed environment
• You will be fairly rewarded, allowed to laugh (occasionally!) and welcome to almost as much tea and coffee as you can drink…

PRIOR TO APPLYING, PLEASE ENSURE YOU:

• meet the criteria for this job
• understand the difference between 'their', 'there' and 'they're', etc.
