Internal Sales Coordinator (New Business) Key Duties
Do you have the correct profile?
We know that this role will ideally suit an experienced internal salesperson who can demonstrate a good track-record of success in a similarly fast paced and proactive ‘new business’ sales position. That said, charisma, great communication skills and interpersonal skill are essential to build and actively win business. So, if you fancy a fast paced & varied role and you’re not afraid to make outbound calls we would love to hear from you. You will need to learn our internal systems (CRM etc.) but that goes for anyone and we will provide full training. It is however vitally important that you have a first-class telephone manner (friendly and professional). It also helps if you are commercially aware and target driven.

We offer an attractive basic starting salary (commensurate with experience) along with an attractive performance/profit linked bonus scheme and a flexible employee benefits scheme that includes: 25 days annual leave (rising to 27 days with service plus all bank holidays), additional holiday purchasing scheme, contributory pension & employee discount scheme.
