• IT literacy covering Salesforce and Microsoft Office suite
• Experience of working in sales or telesales with a proven successful track record, running your own team, territory or sector, with specific experience of ‘getting past the gate keeper’

• Confidence to be a self-starter and an analytical thinker but with an entrepreneurial spirit.
• Accuracy and attention to detail.

Other responsibilities:

• Take active responsibility for your own career development and performance.
• Act in accordance with WorkNest's values and behaviours.
