As an Internal Sales Executive, you're best when you're talking to customers. You're not afraid to pick up the phone. In fact, you want to because every conversation is a potential opportunity and you want to see where it will lead. If you're the sort of Internal Sales Executive who enjoys speaking with customers, has a bit of personality about you and isn't afraid to go after an opportunity when you spot one, keep reading. You'll work with existing customers, as well as new ones. Every enquiry is an opportunity. Your role is to understand what the customer needs, keep things moving and get it over the line. As Internal Sales Executive, you'll build your own customer accounts, strengthen customer relationships and look for growth opportunities through having good conversations and asking the right questions to uncover more. The sales team is small, which means you'll have an impact. When somebody is on holiday, it matters. When a customer calls, it matters. When you get a piece of business over the line, everybody notices. The business turned over £4.5 million last year and they're not standing still. What's impressive is they've achieved that with just 33 people and a small sales team. You'll have a bigger influence here than you would in a larger business. Because when you make things happen, it doesn't disappear into the background. The Managing Director has been with the business for 24 years and started his career in sales. He's sat in the same position you're applying for. The business has gone through a lot of positive change over the years, investing in its people, systems and stock holding to support future growth. Now they're investing heavily in the sales team because they know continued growth comes from adding value to customers and having the right people speaking to them every day. It's an established team with a lot of knowledge and they're happy to share it. As Internal Sales Executive, you'll spend your time speaking with customers, managing sales day to day, developing relationships and making sure opportunities don't sit waiting for a response.

A customer calls They explain what they need. You ask the right questions, understand the requirement, identify the appropriate products and put together the costing. You'll own the conversation from the initial enquiry through to quotation and ongoing account development. You'll be based in the office but as the role develops, you'll be able to go out on customer visits. You're someone who: - Enjoys building relationships - Naturally follows things through - Doesn't need somebody standing over your shoulder - Likes being busy and managing multiple conversations - Driven to spot opportunities and act on them Industry experience within manufacturing and engineering would help you but it isn't essential. What matters more is your personality, drive and natural sales ability The business can teach you the products. They can teach you the systems. They can teach you the industry. What they can't teach is the hunger to pick up the phone, ask the right questions and look for opportunities. What's in it for you? Salary is flexible depending on experience, with opportunities ranging from around £30,000 upwards. There is no commission structure instead, you'll be paid a competitive base salary where performance is recognised through an attractive year-end bonus. The hours of work here are Monday to Thursday 8:30-17:30 and Friday's early finish at 15:00. Alongside that you'll receive: - 23 days holiday plus bank holidays and your Birthday off! - The opportunity to carve your career within a supportive team who will share their knowledge.
