About you

You’ll be a confident and engaging communicator with a natural ability to build trust and rapport. You’ll be commercially aware, motivated by achieving results and comfortable working towards sales targets.

As some conversations may involve personal or sensitive information, you’ll also need to be empathetic, patient and professional. You’ll listen carefully, ask the right questions and explain information clearly so customers can make an informed decision.

You’ll be keen to learn, receptive to coaching and motivated to develop your skills and earning potential within a supportive team environment.

Previous experience within insurance, medical insurance, financial services, regulated sales, contact centre sales or another consultative sales environment would be advantageous, but isn’t essential.
