• Ensure customer records and sales activity are accurately maintained within Microsoft Dynamics.
• Promote available options and extras to maximise revenue and enhance the customer’s chosen home.
• Maintain excellent presentation standards across the sales office, show homes and development.
• Work collaboratively with internal departments and external stakeholders.
• Deliver an exceptional customer experience in line with the standards of a five-star housebuilder.

Candidate Requirements

• Customer-facing sales experience gained within housebuilding, automotive sales, estate agency, retail, hospitality, banking or a similar environment.
• Excellent interpersonal, communication and relationship-building skills.
• Confident questioning, listening, presenting, negotiating and closing sales.
• Commercially aware, with an understanding of market conditions and competitor activity.
• Self-motivated and comfortable independently managing a single-manned development.
• Resilient, target-driven and able to remain calm under pressure.
• Proactive approach to following up enquiries and converting leads.
• Willing to embrace new systems, processes and ways of working.
• Strong organisational and administrative skills.
• IT literate and comfortable using CRM systems.
• Flexible to work weekends and bank holidays.
• Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle for business travel.
