Trainee Sales Executive

TRAINEE SALES EXECUTIVE

Southampton

Up to circa £28K Basic + Bonus

Salary Reviewed Every 3 Months

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.

You'll be supported every step of the way, but ownership of results sits with you.

• 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)

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

• 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

• 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.

• 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.

If you bring the drive, you'll be given the opportunity.

• 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
