You will possess excellent communication skills, a professional telephone manner, and the ability to build rapport quickly with customers.
You should be highly motivated, organised, and proactive, with strong objection-handling and negotiation skills. Experience using CRM systems and sales tools is desirable, along with the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively. A positive attitude, commercial awareness, and a genuine desire to contribute to the success of the wider team are essential.
