Learn, Earn, Progress

We're hiring entry‑level / junior Sales Executives to join a fast‑moving, high‑support B2B sales team. This is a trainee role with real structure
, proper coaching and a clear path to progression. Perfect for someone with some sales or customer‑facing experience who wants to build a long‑term career in sales.

This is hands‑on, desk‑based sales (around 90%), with occasional face‑to‑face customer meetings once you're up and running.

• Handling both inbound and outbound calls
• Managing your own inbox and customer enquiries
• Building profitable relationships, not just taking orders
• Working towards clear call and profit targets (no guessing what “good” looks like)
• You'll be supported every step of the way, but ownership of results sits with you.

No two days are identical, but your core focus will be:

• Speaking to customers daily, high call volume, high energy
• Managing a customer portfolio while also finding new opportunities
• Spotting ways to turn enquiries into profitable orders
• Updating your pipeline accurately and consistently
• Learning how to sell properly, not just process orders

You'll go through a structured in‑house Sales Academy
, including:

• Understanding the full internal sales cycle
• Listening to real call examples from top performers
• Shadowing experienced colleagues
• Weekly desk‑side coaching from your Team Leader
• Monthly 1:1s with your Sales Manager

This is a loud, lively, collaborative sales floor
:

• Music on all day
• Live call stats and talk‑time screens
• Bells ringing when targets are hit
• Daily shout‑outs for calls and profit at lunch and end of day
• Colleagues actively helping colleagues win

Targets matter, but people aren't beaten with them. Coaching comes first.
And yes… there are incentives
:

• Rolling 3‑month salary incentives
• Regular socials
• Prize wheels, vouchers, chocolates, spot rewards (always changing)

Many of the Sales Managers here started in this exact role.
The pathway looks like:
Internal Account Manager ? Team Leader ? Sales Management
Most leadership roles are filled internally.
If you bring the drive, you'll be given the opportunity.
You’ll Fit This Role If You:

• Have some experience in sales, targets, or a customer‑facing environment
• Are motivated by money and results (house goals welcome)
• Enjoy speaking to people all day
• Want a sales career — not “just an office job”
• Thrive in a busy, performance‑led environment

• You want inbound‑only or admin‑heavy work
• Targets make you uncomfortable
• You prefer a quiet, low‑energy office

• Salary: £25,000 - £28,000
• Profit Share: Annual, uncapped and completely individual
• Hours: 8:50am - 5:00pm (1‑hour lunch)
• Early Finish Fridays: Finish at 3pm if weekly targets are hit
• Holiday: 25 days (including Christmas closure)
• Pension: Auto‑enrolled, matched up to 6%
• Perks: Free on‑site gym & parking

We are an equal opportunities employer and we never charge candidates a fee for our services.
