About Our Client

Our client is a well-established and highly respected name in the corporate events industry. Since 1989, they’ve grown to become a leader in technical production and creative services, with operations across the UK and Europe. Their recent integration into a larger events group has expanded their capabilities even further, allowing them to deliver an unrivalled suite of event technology, production, and digital solutions.

At the heart of their success lies a passion for innovation. Technology isn’t just something they use—it’s part of their DNA. Their approach is creative, forward-thinking, and always tailored to delivering event experiences that resonate with audiences and align perfectly with each brand’s message.

The Role: Sales Team Leader

This is an exciting opportunity for a driven and experienced sales professional to step into a leadership position within a high-performing exhibitor sales team. The successful candidate will be responsible not only for achieving personal revenue targets but also for coaching and supervising Sales Executives.

You’ll play a pivotal role in coordinating exhibitor marketing initiatives and ensuring the team’s efforts are aligned with broader company goals. If you thrive in a dynamic environment and are ready to take your sales career to the next level, this is the perfect opportunity.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive exhibitor sales: follow leads, generate and convert orders
• Coach, motivate, and manage performance of Sales Executives
• Maintain the CRM and contribute to outbound marketing efforts
• Represent the company at exhibitions, supporting service delivery
• Gather post-event client feedback and identify new opportunities
• Collaborate across departments to enhance client experiences

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking a proactive self-starter with a natural flair for sales and team leadership. Experience in the exhibitions or events sector is desirable, but not essential.

You’ll need to demonstrate:

• Experience using Salesforce or similar CRM platforms
• Strong Microsoft Word and Excel skills
• Exceptional organisational ability and attention to detail
• A knack for analysing sales data and making data-driven decisions
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Confidence in creating and scheduling email campaigns
• Proven sales and negotiation skills

In addition to a competitive base salary and uncapped commission, our client offers a range of benefits including:

• Private medical insurance
• Season ticket loans and free railcard
• Training and development opportunities
• Buy/Sell holiday options
• Contributory pension

This is a Monday to Friday office-based role (with occasional site attendance at exhibitions) based at the team’s Islington hub in North London.
