  • Deliver consultancy services such as onsite training and Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM).
  • Identify opportunities to upsell additional services, aiming for £10,000 in new business per quarter.
  • Secure three self-generated new business wins per quarter.
  • Provide feedback on client needs and market trends to help refine the company’s offerings.
  • Maintain accurate CRM records and personal statistical reports to monitor progress and highlight risks or opportunities.
  • Support the sales team with excellent customer service and administrative tasks.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office tools including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
  • Strong written communication skills with the ability to adapt messaging for different audiences.
  • Confident communicator who can build rapport over the phone and via email.
  • Ability to multitask effectively while meeting deadlines and targets.
  • Results-driven mindset with a willingness to work towards KPIs such as daily talk time (75 minutes), premium renewal rates (93%), contract renewal rates (90%), and call volume (35 calls per day).

Perks & Benefits:

  • 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays (rising with service)
  • Private medical insurance (after 5 years)
  • Enhanced pension contributions (after 5 and 7 years)
  • Cycle to work & season ticket loan schemes
