Build your own business

As Sales Executive you'll be targeted on securing new business with organisations across the UK, selling IT solutions on behalf of our partners (Microsoft, HPE, Cisco, Dell to name a few). As you become established in the role you'll inevitably spend less time on building new business and instead focus on really enhancing those existing relationships you've built, selling more products into less clients. It truly feels like running your own business, where you get to control how much you earn and how you want to develop.

Responsibilities

• Growing new business through effective communication methods including cold calling, customer meetings and email marketing
• Working towards your KPI's through developing market understanding, building relationships and networking
• Providing effective account management to support your customers technology strategy, implementation, and future requirements
• Collaborating with your sales team, cross-functional teams, and external partners to help develop a rich customer experience

Qualifications

• Have a passion for sales and be keen to learn and develop your skill set
• Demonstrate a keen entrepreneurial flare and the desire to build your own client base from scratch
• Be a motivated self-starter, a quick learner and be highly organised
• Show an enthusiasm to learn and develop your knowledge for new and emerging technologies
• Have a high level of verbal and written communication skills
• Have the ability to build solid relationships internally and with potential new clients
