You're a salesperson who wants to help build something from the ground up and develop a career in IT sales. You truly like to develop meaningful relationships with your customers.

Do things right and you could fly, uncapped commission, career development, fab support from the wider business, and a real opportunity to make the role your own too. If you understand that selling is about solving problems nut pushing products, you'll be successful. This is a home-based role where you'll receive ongoing training and support to enable you to learn and thrive. The team really care but this is a sales role, and you'll have metrics and targets to achieve. This role is built for someone who is: Self-motivated - genuinely Comfortable working on their own initiative Ambitious and target-driven Organised, accurate, and commercially switched on Resilient when things don't land first time What you'll be doing: Identifying and winning new business from existing data - both warm leads and lapsed accounts Nurturing client relationships and growing account value through strategic engagement Engaging with clients to understand their goals and recommend tailored training solutions Achieving sales targets and KPIs while delivering best-in-class customer service Experience That Will Help You Succeed: Previous consultative B2B business development experience Exposure to solution-based selling Ability to engage with informed, 'grown-up' buyers Prior IT or technology experience (a big advantage!) Confidence data mining and building your own prospect lists Experience using CRM systems Background in a customer-focused environment If you're serious about sales, want ownership, and like the idea of helping grow a modern IT and cyber services business this is worth a conversation.
