How you'll make an impact

On the face of it, this role is fairly simple. You’ll have a list of companies that have asked us to give them a call about the benefits they offer their employees. Typically these benefits will all have a provider, and these relationships come up for renewal. When they do, we help these companies to find the very best benefits for their business.

On a day-to-day basis you’ll call small to medium sized companies to find out what Employee Benefits they currently have in place (i.e. Private Medical Insurance, Life Insurance, Income Protection etc) and when those benefits are due for renewal.

You’ll then;

• Update our database with information on their existing benefits/schemes for future prospecting
• Pitch anything “In Date” or imminent. Any business signed will earn commission!
• Promote Gallagher Employee Benefits Services to prospective clients.

Previous experience in a similar role would be useful, but what we really need is someone with the right attributes, and who is willing to learn (full training given!)

• Minimum requirements (essentials)
  • Be comfortable talking to company owners, directors and senior management on the phone
  • Be comfortable with targets, and working in a target driven environment
  • Eligibility to work in the UK
• Nice to haves (desirables)
  • Previous experience in a similar role (Telesales)
