Commercial Finance Brokers - Graduate Trainee Sales Roles
Job Description
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 £24000 + £12000 Guaranteed Commission (1st Year) 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
