• Ability to use our CRM system to log calls and follow up afterwards
• A mix of doing inbound calls, outbound calls, targeting and coming up with creative solutions to fill all of our different trades courses
• High level of resilience and tenacity to handle high quota of sales calls
• Understanding or hunger to learn about the different trade qualifications and courses we offer and an ability to sell the different offerings
• Confidence speaking on the phone and developing relationships with candidates and employers, including housebuilders, developers, contractors and construction businesses.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• A proactive, self‑motivated approach with a willingness to identify and pursue new business opportunities.
