Job description

About the role

We’re seeking a talented Area Sales Executive to work full-time across our developments in Kent.

As an Area Sales Executive, you will make a significant impact on our customers' lives by introducing them to independent living. Your role involves proactively engaging with interested customers, advising them on their apartment purchase and lifestyle, and building strong relationships to ensure a smooth and positive experience from enquiry to move-in day.

You will be based on-site at the Welcome Centre, responsible for achieving sales targets and maintaining budgeted selling prices for your development. You will familiarize yourself with the site, which will become your customers' new home.

As the development progresses, you'll have the opportunity to show apartments using a fully equipped show home centre, complete with floor plans, interior options, and partner services.

You will collaborate closely with onsite teams—Marketing, Customer Relations, Construction—and coordinate with offsite agents, sales partners, and solicitors to progress sales through to completion.

Working hours are Tuesday to Friday, 9:30 am to 5:00 pm, and Saturday, 9:30 am to 4:30 pm.

About you

Ideal candidates will have experience in face-to-face sales, with a focus on relationship building and understanding customer needs. Experience in retirement living sales or selling to older adults is advantageous.

Your calming and supportive approach will help ease customers through the moving process, which can be daunting.

You should have experience with plot progression, excellent customer relationship skills, and a strong drive to succeed. Independence, proactive sales and marketing approach, self-motivation, and familiarity with IT databases are essential.

You must hold a valid UK Driver's Licence and be willing to travel as needed.
