Founded in 1965, Electro Rent operates globally to deliver unmatched technical and commercial flexibility.

About You:

You’ll be a results-driven sales professional with a passion for customer engagement and a track record of success in inside sales or business development. You will be highly organised, persistent in outbound prospecting, and motivated by achieving commercial targets.

You will be skilled in professional phone engagement, strategic in structuring outbound outreach, and capable of independently developing and managing a qualified sales pipeline. An intense sense of urgency and a consultative approach are essential, especially when responding to inbound inquiries from engineers, technical buyers, and procurement professionals.

This would be an ideal role if you thrive in a structured, high-activity sales environment and are motivated by clear goals, measurable performance, and team success.

This is a commercially pivotal role in a fast-paced, high-impact team. As a Sales Associate, you will play a key part in driving new business growth across the UK and EMEA region, managing the full sales cycle—from outbound prospecting to closing deals—with a strong focus on end customers.

You will thrive in an environment where structure, discipline, and daily sales activity drive consistent results. This role requires a proactive sales mindset, the ability to build rapport quickly, and a keen focus on pipeline development. While technical support is available for complex needs, you will retain full ownership of your sales funnel, personal revenue targets, and forecasting accuracy.

This position is office-based at our UK headquarters in Harrow.

• A target-driven, commercially focused environment with high visibility and impact
• Access to a leading global brand with a deep heritage in test & measurement solutions
• Full onboarding, sales enablement tools, and support from commercial and technical teams
• Opportunity to develop your career within a growing, global organisation

• Competitive salary and great benefits
• Private Medical Healthcare
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Cycle to work Scheme
• Great company culture

What you’ll have:

Essential

• Extensive experience in inside sales, business development, or telesales
• Proven success managing the full sales cycle: outreach, qualification, proposal, and close
• Strong outbound prospecting skills—comfortable cold calling and running campaigns
• Excellent verbal and written communication with a persuasive, consultative style
• Experience working with CRMs (e.g., Salesforce) and sales enablement tools
• Highly organised and accountable, with strong forecasting discipline
