Direct Sales Executive

London | Hybrid working | Office attendance once per fortnight
Ready to turn great conversations into great results?
If you’re confident on the phone, enjoy building rapport with customers and get a buzz from hitting targets, this could be the opportunity for you.
We’re looking for a Direct Sales Executive to join our Specialist Lending team at Premium Credit. You’ll be speaking directly with new and existing customers, understanding their needs and identifying opportunities to introduce products and services that genuinely work for them.
This is a sales role where being commercially driven and customer-focused go hand in hand. You’ll have the freedom to take ownership of your conversations, build relationships and contribute directly to the continued growth of the business.
And with our hybrid approach, you’ll have plenty of flexibility too. This role is predominantly home-based, with attendance at our London office just once per fortnight.
Why Premium Credit?
Premium Credit is the UK and Ireland’s leading provider of insurance premium finance and funding for a range of annually charged services. We help more than three million customers spread the cost of essential payments — including insurance premiums, tax and regulatory fees, professional fees, school fees, memberships and season tickets — into manageable instalments. Working through a network of around 3,000 partners, we make important purchases more affordable and give individuals and businesses greater control over their cash flow.
We’re proud to be a multi-award-winning business, certified as a Great Place to Work® and recognised among the UK’s Best Workplaces™. We also hold a Silver Sustainability medal, a 4.2 rating on Glassdoor and a 4.5 rating on Trustpilot — recognition that reflects our commitment to creating a responsible, supportive workplace and delivering a great experience for our customers and colleagues.
We want people to enjoy coming to work, feel trusted to do their best and have opportunities to develop.
Alongside a competitive salary and incentive plan, our benefits include:

* Hybrid working, with just one day per fortnight in our London office

* 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, with the option to buy or sell up to five days per year, pro rata

* Private health and dental cover

* Workplace pension

* 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme

* Access to Mental Health First Aiders

* Support and investment in your ongoing personal and professional development

What you’ll be doing
No two customer conversations will be exactly the same, but your focus will be simple: providing a professional, engaging sales experience while identifying opportunities to grow our business.
You’ll:

* Make proactive outbound calls to targeted new and existing customers

* Identify sales and renewal opportunities and confidently progress them

* Listen to customers, understand their needs and provide clear and accurate information about relevant products and services

* Turn positive customer conversations into commercial opportunities

* Take ownership of customer actions and follow them through quickly and professionally

* Work towards agreed sales plans, objectives and targets

* Maintain accurate customer records and follow-up activity

* Build strong relationships with colleagues across Premium Credit

* Represent our brand and values in every customer interaction
What we’re looking for
You don’t need to know everything about Premium Credit or our products on day one. What matters is that you can demonstrate a strong sales mindset, confidence communicating with customers and the motivation to learn.
You’ll ideally bring:

* Experience working in an outbound telephone sales environment

* A track record of achieving or exceeding sales targets

* Confidence making high…
