Job description

Do you often get told you've got the gift of the gab? Or that you could sell snow to Eskimos? Do you have a knack for closing sales? If this sounds like you, you’re exactly what we’re looking for and we just need the energy to match.

You’ll play a big part in keeping our customers protected by offering a handy insurance plan that covers household appliances from accidental damage and breakdowns. Whether it’s keeping the kids’ school uniforms clean or making sure dinner’s always in the oven on time, it’s important that our customers’ appliances are always running smoothly.

It’s not all work and no play. Our sales social calendar is loaded with activities so you can celebrate your wins too. From team nights out, to awards nights, we know how to have a good time! And when you’re ready for that next step, we're here to help you succeed! We offer loads of progression opportunities for you to take your career to the next level. Did you know, 100% of our sales managers have been promoted internally!

We know how much you earn and how much you work is super important, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered;

• Competitive basic salary of £29,545.40
• Uncapped commission which we can back up - 85% of our team took home £50K OTE last year, and our top earners over £65K
• Remote working after 3-6 months
• Sociable working hours Mon - Fri 8.30am-5pm
• Realistic and achievable targets designed to be achieved

Here's What You Can Expect To Be Doing

We like to keep things simple, so you’ll be on a dialler doing over 60 calls a day and our customers will be ready to speak to within days of them placing their orders online. All of our calls are warm so no cold calling here! You’ll find out a bit about our customers and why they’ve bought a new appliance and establish a need to be able to sell a really beneficial service. After digging into the nitty-gritty, you’ll share the many perks of our AO Care insurance plan and get them on board, meaning our customers have peace of mind and you hit your targets, win win!

You’ll be working in a fast paced and high volume sales environment where most of our team are making at least 10 sales a day so that "buzz" of closing a sale keeps you ready and raring to go.

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.

A Few Things About You

• Currently working in a like for like, fast-paced, sales environment
• Have the drive to hit your goals, both in and out of work
• Be highly money motivated and love working towards weekly sales targets
• Super resilient and have a positive mindset, being able to turn past failings into lessons for success
• Exceptional sales ability and can effectively fact find and pitch with passion
• Be able to confidently talk through your sales experience throughout the recruitment process

Reasonable adjustments

We want to make sure you're given the best possible chance to shine in your interview, so you may need us to do things in a slightly different way. This could be requesting a ground floor room or bringing along a sign interpreter to name just a few.

Fill in the below box if there's anything we need to know so we can adjust the process to support you.

AO is for everyone

We should all feel that we belong. That's why we are creating a welcoming and inclusive place to work.

We're proud to be different. From how we look to the way we talk to our customers, we skip to the beat of our very own drum. We know that being different together is our superpower and we celebrate it because it makes us stronger, more creative, and better at what we do.

We believe the people we employ should reflect the diversity of our customer base; that way, we can communicate in a way that recognises all backgrounds, races, ethnicities, genders, ages, religions, abilities, and sexual orientations.

And that's why we're asking these questions. Making sure our recruitment process is inclusive is a key part of what we're doing at AO to encourage diversity as an employer.

How will we use the data?

After we've collated the data, we'll look at the patterns to assess if we are inclusive at each stage. If it turns out that we aren't, then the data may help us identify where we can improve.

The data will never have any bearing on whether an application is successful or not and will not be available to hiring managers at any stage.

How do you describe your gender identity?

How do you describe your ethnic background?

How do you like to describe your sexual identity or sexual orientation?

Do you identify as a person with a disability or are you a person with accessibility needs?

How would you describe your Neurodiversity?
