The MD of one of the fastest-growing insurance brokers knows exactly how to attract and motivate the best Contact Managers and Lead Generators in the market.

Alongside a generous basic salary, you will also benefit from one of the most impressive bonus schemes in the industry that can honestly be described as both lucrative and fair (no shifting goalposts here!) You will also be provided with an abundance of quality data to prospect, a robust back-office support function, and a fantastic working environment, meaning you will arrive every morning and leave every afternoon smiling! - as seasoned Contact Managers know, this is a job that is best performed with a sunny disposition! Longer-term, there are plenty of opportunities for progression and development. Best of all, the Sales Executive Team is superb, meaning that all your hard work won’t go to waste.

You will be working in a lead generation and appointment-setting capacity, arranging for Account Executives to visit prospects at their premises to discuss their companies’ insurance requirements. You will use your sales and negotiation skills to ‘get past the gatekeeper’ to speak to key decision makers. You will then use your professional rapport building skills to strike up meaningful dialogue about their businesses, in order to pass on relevant information (premium size, personality types, renewal information etc) onto your colleagues. As you will be working in close conjunction with this firm’s Marketing team, we are particularly keen to hear from entrepreneurial candidates who have bright ideas about new markets to target, fresh approaches to make, or innovative ways to promote the business in the local business community.

It is essential that you have previous work in a similar lead generation / appointment-setting capacity, although this needn’t be from a similar commercial insurance environment. You must be self-motivated, ambitious and a trader by heart, who takes great pride in the quality of work undertaken. You should also be business-minded and curious about different industries. Crucially, you must have excellent communication skills, with the ability to gain ‘buy-in’ from Directors of large commercial and corporate business across a wide range of industry sectors, both blue and white collar.

This forward-thinking broker is an advocate of modern-working practices, and you will be welcome to work several days per week at home.
Richard Jones of Aston Charles is particularly keen to fill this vacancy with a key client, so is prepared to offer a highly competitive referral fee (in confidence) to any insurance professional who can successfully recommend a candidate who we go on to place.
