New Business Advisor (Property) - Peterborough

£25,000 basic salary | OTE £35,000-£45,000
Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm | Hybrid (2-3 days in office)

I'm recruiting for a fantastic New Business Advisor to join a thriving legal services firm in Peterborough. This is a brilliant opportunity for a sales-driven individual who wants to earn great money while working with a genuinely lovely team!

Why This Role?

My client has one of the best team cultures I've come across - they're really social, supportive, and create an environment where people actually enjoy coming to work. The office vibe is fantastic, and they're serious about developing their people with genuine career progression opportunities available.

The Opportunity

You'll be working within their New Business Team, acting as the first point of contact for property clients and referrers. This is a varied, fast-paced role where you'll be:

• Managing incoming enquiries and providing fee quotes
• Building and maintaining relationships with estate agents and key referrers
• Following up on estimates and converting leads into instructions
• Cross-selling additional legal services across the business
• Working towards targets and KPIs in a sales-focused environment
• Supporting the property teams with client onboarding

What's In It For You?

• Excellent earning potential: £25k base with realistic OTE of £35k-£45k
• Work-life balance: Standard office hours, no evenings or weekends
• Flexibility: Hybrid working with 2-3 days in the Peterborough office
• Career development: Real opportunities to progress and develop your career
• Great culture: Social team with regular events and a genuinely positive atmosphere

What I'm Looking For

• Sales mentality: You're target-driven and motivated by commission
• Strong communicator: Confident on the phone with excellent written skills
• Customer-focused: You understand the importance of exceptional service
• Organized: Able to manage multiple enquiries and follow up effectively
• Team player: Works well independently but thrives in a collaborative environment
• Resilient: Stays calm and professional in a busy environment

Legal sector experience is beneficial but not essential - if you have strong B2B sales or account management experience and great relationship-building skills, I'd love to hear from you.
