About The Business

We’re recruiting on behalf of what is genuinely one of the best businesses we’ve worked with in Northampton. That’s easy for us to say because we’ve placed over 60% of their current workforce, so we know exactly what it’s like to work there. We’ve seen the business grow, met the team and built relationships throughout the organisation. The culture is one of the biggest selling points. They’re a welcoming group of people who work hard, support each other and enjoy what they do. There’s plenty of energy around the office, plenty of personality and absolutely no room for big egos. People enjoy coming to work. People care about doing a good job. And while everybody works hard, nobody takes themselves too seriously.

The Opportunity

This isn’t an account management role. This isn’t a role where you’ll spend your day hidden behind emails. This is a sales role in the truest sense. You’ll be responsible for generating new opportunities, building relationships and converting conversations into business with Management Companies across the UK. You’ll be promoting inspection, maintenance and facilities management services, managing a high volume of opportunities and developing relationships with key decision makers. You’ll have support around you, but you’ll need to be someone who creates their own momentum. If you’re at your happiest speaking to people, opening doors and making things happen, you’ll enjoy this role.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Making outbound calls to prospective customers
• Generating new business opportunities
• Building relationships with decision makers across the UK
• Following up leads and existing opportunities
• Managing a busy sales pipeline
• Identifying opportunities to grow customer accounts
• Working closely with colleagues to deliver quotations and proposals
• Achieving agreed sales and activity targets
• Using CRM systems to manage opportunities and customer information

Who We’re Looking For

We’re not fixated on industry experience. We’re far more interested in attitude, personality and drive.

You’ll Probably Be Someone Who

• Enjoys speaking to people
• Is confident on the phone
• Can think on their feet
• Builds rapport quickly
• Is resilient and doesn’t let rejection knock them off course
• Wants to learn and improve
• Is competitive and driven
• Works hard without needing constant supervision
• Rolls their sleeves up and gets stuck in
• Brings energy and personality to a team
• You definitely can’t be a shrinking violet

We want someone who’s comfortable starting conversations, asking questions and backing themselves. Experience in sales, recruitment, estate agency, or any environment where you’ve had to influence people and build relationships would be advantageous.

What’s On Offer

• Competitive basic salary
• Performance-related bonus scheme
• Pension
• 23 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Ongoing support and development
• Genuine career progression opportunities
• The chance to join a growing business at an exciting stage of its journey
• A supportive leadership team and positive working environment

Recruitment Process

• 1st Interview: 9th September
• 2nd Interview: 16th September
• Offer Decision: By Friday 18th September
• No endless rounds.
• No unnecessary delays.
• The business knows what they’re looking for and is committed to moving quickly for the right person.
