Job description

Trainee Sales Director | Watford | £25k–35k OTE + Uncapped Commission

Want a career where your development, income and opportunities aren't limited by how long you've been in the job?

The Atlas Collective is growing, and we're looking for ambitious, competitive and hardworking people who want to develop real commercial skills, build confidence and progress quickly.

You might be a recent graduate looking for your first serious career opportunity.

You might already have a year or two of experience and be ready for a role where your performance has a more direct impact on your progression and earnings.

Either way, if you're driven, coachable and willing to put in the work, we want to meet you.

No previous sales experience is required. Full training is provided.

What you'll actually do

You'll work directly with customers through face-to-face sales and customer acquisition campaigns, representing some of the UK's biggest brands.

From day one, you'll learn how to:

• Start conversations confidently with new customers
• Build genuine rapport and understand customer needs
• Present products and services effectively
• Handle questions and objections
• Generate and convert sales
• Work towards individual and team targets
• Analyse your performance and identify areas to improve
• Develop your communication, negotiation and commercial skills

You’ll be given structured training and ongoing coaching - but you'll also be expected to take ownership of your development.

This isn't a role where you'll sit on the sidelines for six months waiting for someone to give you responsibility.

You’ll learn by doing.

Where can this take you?

We want to develop people who can grow with the business.

As you demonstrate strong performance and leadership potential, opportunities can open up across areas such as sales, coaching, team leadership, campaign management, business development.

Your progression isn't based simply on how long you've been here.

It's based on performance, attitude, consistency and your ability to take on more responsibility.

What we offer

£25,000–£35,000 OTE + uncapped commission

Your earning potential increases with your performance, with additional performance bonuses and incentives available.

Full training from day one

You don't need a sales background. We'll teach you the fundamentals and give you ongoing coaching to help you develop.

Genuine progression

For people who want responsibility, there are opportunities to develop into coaching, leadership and campaign-management positions.

Performance-based culture

We recognise people who put in the work and deliver results through incentives, bonuses, recognition and team events.

A team environment

You’ll work alongside ambitious people who are focused on improving themselves, supporting each other and achieving their goals.

Who we're looking for

We're not looking for a perfect CV.

We're looking for potential.

You could be a strong fit if you're:

• Ambitious and genuinely want to progress
• Hardworking and prepared to earn your results
• Confident speaking to new people
• Competitive in a healthy, performance-focused environment
• Comfortable receiving feedback and being coached
• Resilient when things don't go your way
• Self-motivated and able to take responsibility
• Looking to develop professionally and personally

Previous experience in sales, retail, hospitality, recruitment, customer service, sport, marketing or business development is useful - but attitude and potential matter more.
