• Be the main point of contact for new and existing customers calling to buy new breakdown cover, discuss renewals, request policy changes, or discuss leaving us.

• Drive sales and retain customers by exploring their needs, handling objections confidently, highlighting the value of Green Flag, and matching them with the right level of cover.

• Deliver exceptional service, providing clear guidance and reassurance during routine customer enquiries while maintaining a commercially focused mindset.

• Accurately capture customer details, process new sales, apply policy upgrades, and manage retentions and cancellations across multiple systems compliant with industry standards.

• Excellent active listening and questioning techniques to identify underlying needs, uncover cross-sell opportunities, and recommend tailored cover solutions.

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, target-driven environment while maintaining close attention to detail and high service standards.

• Good IT skills, with confidence using multiple systems and applications simultaneously to handle calls and log policy changes efficiently.
