Job description

Trainee Sales Manager | £25,000 + Performance Incentives

Most sales jobs promise "progression" and never deliver on it. This one is different. If you're looking for a genuine, structured route from your first sales conversation to leading and building your own team, this is worth reading properly.

We're looking for someone ambitious and coachable to join us as a Trainee Sales Manager. This is a career-defining opportunity for someone who wants more than a job title. You'll start on the front line, learning our face to face sales systems hands on, before progressing into a leadership role where you'll train, develop, and scale a team of your own.

About the Role

This role is built around a simple principle: you can't lead a sales team effectively until you've mastered the craft yourself. You'll begin by learning our proven face to face sales approach directly from experienced managers who will mentor you through both the theory and the practical reality of selling. This isn't a case of being handed a script and sent out the door. You'll receive genuine, ongoing coaching covering the psychology of sales, objection handling, relationship building, and how to consistently close in a face to face setting.

Once you've built a solid foundation and demonstrated your ability, you'll begin taking on responsibility for training and developing others. You'll work closely with senior management to learn what it takes to build a high performing team, including how to coach individuals, manage performance, run team meetings, and set targets that stretch people without burning them out.

The final stage of your development will see you taking ownership of scaling a team capable of servicing and growing larger client accounts. This means learning how to manage bigger relationships, coordinate teams around key accounts, and make the kind of commercial decisions that come with managing serious client value.

What You’ll Be Doing

• - Learning our face to face sales systems through direct, hands on practical experience
• - Receiving structured mentoring covering both the theoretical and practical sides of high performing sales
• - Progressing into a training and development role, coaching new starters as they join
• - Building and leading your own sales team over time
• - Helping scale that team to service and grow larger client accounts
• - Working closely with senior leadership on strategy, targets, and performance
• - Building the commercial and interpersonal skills needed to manage significant client relationships

What You’ll Need

• - Ambition and a genuine interest in building a long term career in sales and leadership
• - Strong communication skills and confidence engaging with people face to face
• - A coachable attitude and willingness to take on feedback
• - A target driven mindset with resilience when things don't go to plan
• - No prior sales experience is required. We're more interested in attitude, work ethic, and your willingness to learn than what's currently on your CV

What We Offer

• - £25,000 base salary plus performance related incentives
• - A clear, structured path from trainee through to sales manager, not just a vague promise of progression
• - Direct mentoring from experienced sales leaders who are invested in your development
• - Real responsibility early on, with the opportunity to build and lead your a team
• - The chance to develop transferable skills in sales, coaching, leadership, and account management that will serve your career long after this role
