Trainee Sales Executive

We’re looking for a Trainee Sales Executive to join our team in Northumberland, and develop into a confident and knowledgeable new-build property sales professional.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is friendly, enthusiastic and passionate about working with people, who may have some customer-facing or sales experience but is looking to develop a career within the house building industry.

You’ll be based across multiple developments, working alongside our experienced sales team and learning every aspect of the new-build sales process.

From welcoming prospective buyers and conducting viewings through to reservations and customer handover, you’ll receive training, guidance and practical experience to help you develop the skills and knowledge required to become a successful Sales Executive.

This is not high-pressure selling. It’s about understanding people, building relationships and helping customers make confident decisions about their future home.

Wynyard Homes is an award-winning house builder with a reputation for creating beautifully designed homes in exceptional locations across the North East and Northumberland. Every home is carefully considered, well crafted and built with local materials, designed to stand the test of time.

With a small but growing team of sales representatives across six sites, supported by a central head office function, we are experiencing strong buyer enquiry levels across all developments, with interest continuing to grow through our modern marketing activity.

As your experience and confidence develop, you will be supported to:

• Welcome visitors to site and create a warm, professional first impression
• Learn how to conduct engaging and informative home viewings
• Develop a strong understanding of Wynyard Homes’ properties, specifications and customer offering
• Build positive relationships with prospective buyers
• Respond to enquiries from website leads, marketing campaigns, events and walk-in visitors
• Learn how to effectively follow up enquiries and maintain accurate customer records
• Assist with the reservation and sales process
• Develop an understanding of the legal and financial stages involved in purchasing a new-build home
• Learn about customer options and extras, including kitchens, carpets and flooring
• Liaise with solicitors, mortgage advisors, head office and site teams as required
• Maintain excellent presentation standards across the sales office, show homes and development
• Assist with keeping customer information and sales systems up to date
• Gather feedback from customers and share it with the wider team
• Support the experienced Sales Executive with day-to-day sales activity
• Progressively take ownership of your own enquiries and customer relationships as your confidence and experience grow

We are committed to helping the successful candidate build a long-term career with Wynyard Homes.

You will receive hands-on training and ongoing support from experienced members of the sales team and head office.

Training will include:

• New-build property sales processes
• Wynyard Homes’ properties, developments and specifications
• Customer service and relationship management
• Sales techniques and communication
• Managing enquiries and follow-ups
• Reservations and the legal sales process
• Customer options and upgrades
• CRM and sales administration
• Understanding the new-build customer journey
• Working effectively with site, construction and head office teams

As your knowledge and confidence develop, you will gradually take on more responsibility, with the aim of progressing into a fully qualified Sales Executive role.

Previous new-build property sales experience is not essential.
