Ready to turn great conversations into great results?

If you re confident on the phone, enjoy building rapport with customers and get a buzz from hitting targets, this could be the opportunity for you.

We re looking for a Direct Sales Executive to join our Specialist Lending team at Premium Credit. You ll be speaking directly with new and existing customers, understanding their needs and identifying opportunities to introduce products and services that genuinely work for them.

This is a sales role where being commercially driven and customer-focused go hand in hand. You ll have the freedom to take ownership of your conversations, build relationships and contribute directly to the continued growth of the business.

And with our hybrid approach, you ll have plenty of flexibility too. This role is predominantly home-based, with attendance at our London office just once per fortnight.

Why Premium Credit?

We help more than three million customers spread the cost of essential payments including insurance premiums, tax and regulatory fees, professional fees, school fees, memberships and season tickets into manageable instalments.

We want people to enjoy coming to work, feel trusted to do their best and have opportunities to develop.

Alongside a competitive salary and incentive plan, our benefits include:

• Hybrid working, with just one day per fortnight in our London office
• 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, with the option to buy or sell up to five days per year, pro rata
• Private health and dental cover
• Workplace pension
• 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
• Access to Mental Health First Aiders
• Support and investment in your ongoing personal and professional development

What you ll be doing

No two customer conversations will be exactly the same, but your focus will be simple: providing a professional, engaging sales experience while identifying opportunities to grow our business.

You ll:

• Make proactive outbound calls to targeted new and existing customers
• Identify sales and renewal opportunities and confidently progress them
• Listen to customers, understand their needs and provide clear and accurate information about relevant products and services
• Turn positive customer conversations into commercial opportunities
• Take ownership of customer actions and follow them through quickly and professionally
• Work towards agreed sales plans, objectives and targets
• Maintain accurate customer records and follow-up activity
• Build strong relationships with colleagues across Premium Credit
• Represent our brand and values in every customer interaction

What we re looking for

You don t need to know everything about Premium Credit or our products on day one. What matters is that you can demonstrate a strong sales mindset, confidence communicating with customers and the motivation to learn.

You ll ideally bring:

• Experience working in an outbound telephone sales environment
• A track record of achieving or exceeding sales targets
• Confidence making high volumes of outbound calls and engaging customers quickly
• Strong communication and influencing skills
• A proactive, resilient and self-motivated approach
• The ability to spot opportunities and confidently progress them towards a sale
• Excellent organisation and the ability to manage competing priorities
• A genuine commitment to delivering a great customer experience
• The ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team
• Previous experience building and maintaining customer or client relationships would be an advantage.
