Overview

In this Outbound Telesales role, with a difference, as you’ll never have to make a cold call!

Everyone you call will have asked for a call with us. And it’ll be down to you to give them the information they’re looking for, ultimately helping us grow our business through sales.

Gallagher Benefit Services is a leading, full-lifecycle employee benefit consultancy, trusted by employers of all kinds. We help them build a better workplace, positively impacting the lives of thousands of employees every day.

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 any “In Date” or imminent. Any business signed will earn commission!
• Promote Gallagher Employee Benefits Services to prospective clients.

About You

We're looking for someone with the ability to build a good relationship quickly, over the phone. And you’ll have a genuine desire to succeed. Don’t worry if you’ve never done a role like this before, we’ll give you all the training you need to succeed!

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)
