About the role

We’re looking for a talented Area Sales Executive to work full time in our developments in the Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire area

As an Area Sales Executive you’ll be the person that makes a true difference to the lives of our customers as you introduce them to the world of independent living. You’ll proactively contact customers who have shown an interest in knowing more about our developments and provide the best advice on their purchase of the apartment and the lifestyle. You will be building strong relationships with customers to ensure that they have a hassle free and positive experience from enquiry to move in day.

Based on site from the Welcome Centre, you will have responsibility for the achievement of sales targets and budgeted selling prices for your development, gaining an understanding of the site, which will be the next place customers call home.

As the development takes shape, you’ll then have the opportunity to show customers apartments. You’ll have a show home centre that has everything at your fingertips – from floor plans and apartment designs to interior offerings and removal companies.

You will work within a dynamic sales team and liaise closely with onsite Marketing, Customer Relations and Construction teams as well as liaising with offsite agents, sales partners, solicitors and progress sales through to completion.

About you

We’d love it if you have previous experience in selling face to face with customers in a role where relationship building and taking your time to truly meet customer needs is the key to success. Experience of retirement living sales or selling to older people would be an advantage.

We all understand that moving can be a daunting experience – your calming and supportive approach will ensure our Customers are at ease when making important decisions.

You will have experience in plot progression.

The key essential attributes are excellent customer relationship skills and a determination to succeed. You’ll need to be happy working independently, and adopt a proactive approach to sales and marketing with the self-motivation to generate and follow up warm leads.

You will demonstrate professional and responsible selling at all times, be prepared to get involved at every opportunity, possess excellent interpersonal skills and have previous experience of using IT databases.

You must also hold a valid UK Drivers Licence and be willing to travel to fulfil the duties required.
