Sales Managers - Fast Track Career Development Programme

"A rare chance for established Sales Executives to join a successful asset finance business and develop their sales management skills to the next level".

Base Salary £50-70000 OTE £150,00 -200,000 (Year 1-3) & Fantastic Benefits

Bedfordshire, East Midlands UK

Are you a Sales Executive at the top of your game?

Maybe you've left college or university, taken a job in sales and reached a high level of achievement in your industry.

Life is good. You're earning decent money.

But perhaps you're wondering what's next? Have you reached a ceiling but have the ambition and drive to go further?

Our client is looking for someone like you. They work in the commercial finance industry and want a rising star to develop into a superstar through their fast-track sales management programme.

You'll be working alongside the Managing Director, Operations Director, and Sales Director, who will all give you first-hand training of their business to help you develop into a Sales Manager in 18 months. As part of that training, our client will support and pay for you to obtain your LIBF Diploma in Asset Finance (DipAF), if you wish.

Currently, you may be working in a role such as prestige car sales, high-end property sales, or capital equipment, or other B2B or B2C sales and you'll have learned the art of consultative selling. You'll have developed your communication skills to work with companies of all shapes and sizes. And that variety is one of the key features of this role. For example, you could go from talking to a small wine-bar owner about finance for new fridges to the FD of a £10m business wanting finance to purchase a fleet of commercial vehicles.

Your day-to-day role will combine generating new business from warm leads, which you'll aim to convert into long-term accounts for you to manage. Getting to know your clients' businesses will be critical to your success as you'll be able to identify further opportunities to provide financial solutions to help them grow and thrive.

Our client's industry works at a fast pace, and you will have multiple deals in progress at any one time (perhaps 30-40), which can go from initial contact to funds in the bank in a matter of days. As such, you'll be able to flex your time-management muscles and enjoy your sales commission being paid shortly after the client is onboard.

As you rise through the business, you'll then mentor, train and lead other sales executives to bring through the next generation of brokers in the business. And to top it all you will also benefit from an override commission on earnings generated by the team, as well as many other market-leading benefits.

SALES TEAM MANAGERS - HOLIDAY RESERVATIONS

"Join a travel industry market leader, renowned for its excellent customer experience."

£28500 (OTE £32-35000) Excellent Benefits (Hybrid Working)

Cheshire (Hybrid Working)

Commutable from Ellesmere Port, Mold, Wrexham, Birkenhead, Wallasey, Chester, Warrington, Runcorn, Widnes, Liverpool, Crewe, Knutsford, Macclesfield, South Manchester, Wigan, Newton le Willows, Leigh, Heywood, Skelmersdale.

Usually, when you see a job advertised for someone to manage a team of twelve sales agents, you would immediately think "call centre".

You'd get a mental picture of a vast office packed with people engaged in high-pressure sales techniques and KPI charts all over the place.

This one is very different.

As one of the leading holiday cottage rental companies in the UK, our client's core focus is on giving their customers the best experience possible, and this starts at the first phone call.

When customers phone the sales team, they often have specific requests for their holiday property. For example, they may have mobility access requirements, off-road parking, or a bright pink hot tub. Whatever they need, their sales agents work with them to find the perfect rental property in the correct location.

As such, they use a consultative selling approach to tailor the best deal for their clients. And that can take time, so measuring call times and aggressively pushing a sale doesn't work for them. That's one of the reasons they have been on the Sunday Times' Best Companies to Work For list for the past two years.

They want their customers to tell other people about their positive experience and leave fantastic reviews about the service they had from the agent.

That's where you come in.

As one of four sales team managers, your job is to make sure the agents in your team are well-trained and capable of delivering a premium customer experience. So, you'll guide, mentor, motivate, and develop your team's skills through daily/weekly/ monthly 121 meetings, feedback sessions and in-call monitoring.

As the company operates from 9 am until 9 pm, they operate a shift system, with managerial cover in place at the head office in Chester at all times. So, sometimes you and your team will work from home, but other times you'll be based from the office.

Our client envisages your background may include working in a luxury, bespoke or high street travel agency, an aircraft cabin crew team leader, kitchen/bathroom sales, quality furniture retail sales, possibly even a wedding or conference/events manager. Wherever you've worked before, you'll know what first-class customer service involves and have the drive to instil those values into your team.

As you can imagine, there are many other details to discuss, so please indicate your interest by emailing your CV quoting reference LX 931158

Commutable from Ellesmere Port, Mold, Wrexham, Birkenhead, Wallasey, Chester, Warrington, Runcorn, Widnes, Liverpool, Crewe, Knutsford, Macclesfield, South Manchester, Wigan, Newton le Willows, Leigh, Heywood, Skelmersdale.

Working in customer support is rarely a joy. As an experienced customer support team manager, you'll have probably been on the wrong end of an unpleasant customer call before now.

However, when the company offers a premium quality service and places the customer at the centre of their world, you find the customer support role becomes more about helping to solve a problem rather than being a verbal punchbag.

And that's the nature of this role with our client, who has an enviable position as a highly regarded holiday cottage rental company in the UK. They know that happy customers bring repeat business and recommendations, so they aim to excel in every aspect of their service.

However, while there are few complaints about the service, there are numerous customer problems to solve. They can range from a simple alteration to a booking through to a change of the customer's circumstance. Whatever the issue, our client's customer support agents deal with it efficiently and effectively.

And that's where you come in.

Your role as the Team Manager is to motivate, mentor, guide, and develop your team's skills through structured 121 meetings and live, in-call monitoring. As an experienced customer support professional, you'll be able to draw on your knowledge of premium-level service to build your team's skills and deliver the high level of service required.

Our client has featured in the Sunday Times' Best Companies to Work For list for the past two years and are keen to improve on their position. As such, they offer flexible working, operating from 9 am until 9 pm on a shift system, with managerial cover in place at the head office in Chester at all times. So, sometimes you and your team will work from home, but other times you'll be based from the office.

SALES MANAGER - PRECAST CONCRETE PRODUCTS

"Showcase your innovative and successful strategic sales and channel to market capabilities in a high-profile role targeting residential, commercial, industrial and specification sales customer segments."

c£65000 (Dependent on Experience) Car Bonus Benefits

Location: National Field Based Role - Hybrid Working available

Having well-established relationships with long-standing customers is the backbone of every successful business. However, there is a danger of relying too much on those customers and not branching out.

As an experienced Sales Manager, you'll have seen businesses fall into that trap, so what if you could create a new niche in an established business and open their products up to a new sector?

That's precisely what our client intends to do, and your employment is the start point for this new venture.

Currently, the company sells precast concrete products such as flooring and stairs to national UK housebuilders and various aligned sectors. And they've created a very well regarded and successful business off the back of these core sector.

But, as someone with extensive knowledge of the precast concrete industry, you know there are many other channels to market they could attack. Possibilities include builders' merchants, regional housebuilders, architects, major contractors, care homes, social and modular housing, schools, hospitals, universities, and student accommodation.

This isn't a traditional sales role, as you'll need an entrepreneurial flair to identify and analyse the potential opportunities for our client. Working with the commercial team, you can carry out market and competitor analysis then work out the best routes to market. Having created your plan, your role then becomes sales-focused to land the contracts.

As for your background, our client envisages you will have significant experience of working in a senior sales role in the precast concrete industry. Understanding the logistics and movement of large precast concrete products will be helpful to ensure commercial success in this role. You will be both a hunter and farmer adept at both winning new business and also strategic account management.

As you can see, there is much more detail to discuss on this role, so please indicate your interest by emailing your CV quoting reference LX 930640 or call us on 01905 381 320.

Junior Commercial Finance Brokers - Graduate Trainee Sales Role

"Kick-start your career with one of the UK's leading asset finance companies and develop your skills and experience through their structured training programme."

Salary £25000 Benefits (OTE £60-80000 on completion of graduate training scheme)

Northamptonshire, East Midlands, UK

Are you a recent graduate in a business studies or humanities discipline? Having graduated with a minimum 2:1 classification, you may have fallen into your current role and are enjoying the world of work.

But is it fulfilling? Can you see a clear route through to a senior level in your current business? Is your current company supporting your career development with a highly structured training programme?

That's what you'll receive from our client in one of their graduate trainee positions. You'll work alongside the Commercial Director and Sales Director, who will mentor you through your initial 12-16-week training programme.

During that time, you'll learn about commercial asset finance, the financial products our client offers, how to nurture sales opportunities from a lead through to a closed deal, then manage that client account for the long-term.

As such, your training will focus heavily on warm-calling existing previous or current clients to develop your confidence and ability in creating sales. However, this isn't a telesales type of role where you have a product to push onto a prospective customer. Instead, it's a consultative sale where you have to understand how the prospect's business operates then select the most appropriate financial solutions.

Having developed that initial enquiry, you'll then pass ownership of the deal to an account manager but work closely with them to learn the process of completing the sale.

Our client's ambition for you is to complete your training then start creating and managing your own deals where you will then earn a generous commission on top of your base salary.

Given the nature of the role, you'll need outstanding verbal and written communication skills along with a desire to work in a sales-based role and the ambition to succeed. You'll also need a UK driving licence as there will be occasional travel to clients' premises.

So, if you're looking to step up to the next level in your career, send your CV quoting reference LX 876683
