You'll manage the full sales process, from identifying opportunities and making outbound calls through to negotiating agreements and securing repeat business.

• Identify and secure new business while growing existing client relationships.

• Manage the full sales cycle from prospecting through to closing deals.

• Build and maintain a healthy sales pipeline with accurate forecasting.

• Confidence making outbound calls and developing new business opportunities.

• A positive attitude and willingness to learn.

• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.

• A proactive approach and a genuine interest in developing a career in sales.

• Make a minimum of 40 outbound sales calls per day.

• Maintain approximately 90 minutes of active sales conversations daily.

• Achieve agreed monthly revenue targets.

• Keep sales forecasts, CRM records, and pipeline activity accurate and up to date.
