Job description

At AO, we believe great salespeople should be rewarded for the value they bring. That's why 85% of our team earned over £50k last year! We're in search of Sales Executives who've got the gift of the gab, a knack for closing sales, and the energy to match

You’ll help customers protect the appliances they rely on every day by recommending our AO Care Plans. Whether it's keeping the washing machine running, the fridge cold or the cooker working when it's needed most, you'll help customers choose the cover that's right for them.

And it’s not all work and no play! Our sales social calendar is loaded with activities to keep you fired up. From team nights out, to awards nights, we know how to have a good time!

So what else is in it for you? The rewards speak for themselves:

• Uncapped commission? Tick!
• Remote working after 8 weeks? Tick!
• Sociable working hours Mon - Fri 8.30am-5pm? Tick!
• Realistic and achievable targets designed to be achieved? Tick!

We offer a competitive basic salary of £29,545.40 but we want you to earn what you deserve from day one. 85% of our team took home £50K OTE last year, and our top earners over £65K - wow!

Here’s What You Can Expect To Be Doing

You’ll be on a dialler, speaking to over 60 customers a day, after the point of sale,

After digging into the nitty-gritty, you’ll share the many perks of our AO Care Plan and get them on board, meaning our customers have peace of mind and you hit your targets, win win!

Nobody likes a pushy salesperson, so you’ll take a consultative approach with our customers. We trust you, and your experience, to get the best results.
