· Engaging new customers either from your existing contacts or generating leads from cold calling and field visits.
· Ability to create and manage your own pipeline.
· Producing regular sales opportunities by collecting customers' requirements, bill copies and LOAs where appropriate.
· Using a consultative sales approach to know your customers and understand their needs.
· Liaise with your account managers in the office to obtain quotes, request additional resource for larger orders (our product specialists can attend meetings with you), and lock in contracts.

· Good administration skills with the ability to work to high standards of accuracy.

Salary:

· Earnings are completely down to you and at 15 SME customers signed per month average OTE earnings are in excess £35,000 per annum - this will be recurring so if you continue at the same rate you will be earning double by the second year, or you have the opportunity to simply retain the existing client base through renewals. The same level of earnings could even be achieved with less customers of larger Corporate size. This role is fully commission based. You will earn 50% of all margin for customers you bring on for the lifetime of that customer, creating a significant recurring income for you. You will also receive a set fee for bringing in customer bill copies to quote providing you meet the minimum threshold of 10 bills per month.
