As a Sales Professional, you will be responsible for presenting products via demonstrations to clients, preparing quotations and closing business over the telephone.

This position requires an individual with strong sales experience, preferably on a business to business basis. This is a demanding role and will suit someone who expects to reach monthly/quarterly targets and can demonstrate a successful track record of achieving sales results in previous roles. You will work with some qualified leads but on desire to grow your own personal business, relationships and income, you will have the desire to exploit market opportunities.

Responsibilities include:

*Self generate prospective clients.

The candidate

*Experience of managing your own sales pipeline is essential.
*You will have a proven track record in a sales and target driven environment.
*You will be proactive and determined to hit your sales targets and earn uncapped commission.
*Formal sales training would be an advantage.
*Experience of working within a technology sales environment would be beneficially but not essential, as full product training will be provided. However, someone who is technically minded would be an advantage.
*Above all, the ideal candidate will be a self starter, enthusiastic, proactive, professional, and able to quickly adapt to change in a fast moving company and enjoy working within a supportive team environment.


You will benefit from an attractive salary and commission structure together with a structured training and development plan with opportunities to progress internally within the organisation.
