Build your own business 

As Sales Executive specialising in the IT service provider vertical you'll be targeted on securing new business as well as managing existing accounts across the UK, selling IT solutions on behalf of our partners (Microsoft, VMware, Cisco, Dell to name a few). The role is a balancing act, ensuring you provide top class customer service as well as achieving your financial objectives. As you become established in the role you'll inevitably spend less time on building new business and instead focus on really enhancing those existing relationships you've built, selling more products into less clients. It truly feels like running your own business, where you get to control how much you earn and how you want to develop.

• Booking, organising and hosting customer meetings and technology days
• Account-management; project-based work, regular customer contact, managing timescales and understanding strategy
• Understanding Service Provider license agreements and how we leverage vendor relationships to maximise profitability from these contracts

What we need from you

• Previous sales or customer facing experience would be an advantage but not essential
• Passionate, fun and have the entrepreneurial flare to build your own client base from scratch
• Self-Starter, Quick Learner and Highly organised
• Keen to learn about new and emerging technologies
• Clear and persuasive communicator
• Ability to build rapport with potential new clients as well as strong relationships internally
