The Role:

We are looking for a confident sales intern to join our sales and marketing function. The job will be based around a comprehensive training programme to help any budding sales 'wannabe' develop the key skills to become a highly proficient sales executive.

The training programme and subsequent workload will begin by looking at core sales and marketing principles and how to apply them to lead generation campaigns. You will then learn about understanding customer needs, the value of lead generation, the various tactics you can use (i.e. email prospecting, social networking with LinkedIn and telesales) and their impact on the sales and marketing strategy. You will also learn how to track sales leads through to conversion. The next stage will be to write a sales strategy for our website to develop more new business and learn all the factors which need to be considered to generate a successful lead generation campaign and how to measure its success. The final stage will involve you implementing your sales strategy.

At the end of the three months the successful candidate should have a very full view of how to create a successful sales strategy, deliver it to generate positive results and communicate those results to a Sales Director.

The only academic requirement is GCSEs, we can teach you everything we will need you to know. Ideally you will have a real passion for selling and a desire to be a very successful business person who wants to make money.

What's In It For You?

We will pay expenses (lunch and travel) provide tea, coffee and the occasional beer, or 2 or 3 on a Friday. We also pay you a 30 per cent commission on all new business you bring in. The main benefits are the skills which you will gain whilst working with the Sales & Marketing Director who has over 15 years sales and marketing experience, as well growing and selling a business. After the three months there maybe a full time role as a Sales Executive for the right individual.
