5. Meeting KPIs as set by Head of Sales and Sales Manager.

Skills and Experience

1. Demonstrable experience in developing new business revenue.
2. Enthusiastic and creative problem solver.
3. A consultative approach to sales and being comfortable asking for business.
4. A proven track-record of consistent achievement of sales KPIs and targets.
5. Strong written, verbal, interpersonal and presentation skills and an ability to interact with diverse audiences.
6. Results driven, motivated and passionate about sales.
7. Strong commitment to personal excellence, self-disciplined, well presented and resourceful with excellent attention to detail and time management skills.

Benefits

2. 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
3. Flexible holiday scheme.
4. Paid time off to move home.
5. Contributory pension scheme.
6. Enhanced family leave benefits.
7. Insurance benefits including life assurance.
8. Love Mondays events.
