Entry Level Sales Consultant - Insurance in Northampton

Northampton | £25,000 basic + Uncapped Monthly Bonus | Full-Time, Permanent

Got a natural way with people? Enjoy sales and want a career where you can genuinely progress?

We're looking for confident, friendly and motivated individuals to join an established and award-winning business in Northampton.

You don't need insurance experience. What we're really interested in is people who have some experience in sales, whether that's working in retail, a call centre, hospitality or another customer-facing environment.

If you enjoy talking to people, building rapport and turning a conversation into a sale, this could be a great opportunity to develop your career.

You'll be joining a friendly sales team, speaking with customers interested in specialist insurance products covering caravans, park homes, boats, holiday homes and lodges.

It's a mixture of inbound and outbound telephone sales, with approximately 60% inbound calls and 40% outbound.

Importantly, this isn't about picking up the phone and cold calling random people. You'll be speaking with customers who have made enquiries, responded to marketing campaigns or are approaching their insurance renewal.

Your job is to understand what they're looking for, have a genuine conversation and help them find the right product.

Day-to-day responsibilities:

• Handle inbound enquiries and make outbound calls to prospective and existing customers.

• Build rapport and understand customers' needs through natural conversations.

• Provide quotations and explain suitable insurance products.

• Convert enquiries into sales and work towards achievable monthly targets.

• Deliver a positive customer experience from the initial conversation through to completion.

• Keep customer information accurate and up to date.

• Work alongside a supportive team to achieve individual and team targets.

We're much more interested in your attitude, personality and sales ability than whether you've worked in insurance before.

You could currently be working in:

• Retail sales, where you're used to approaching customers and recommending products.

• A call centre or telephone-based sales environment.

• Hospitality or customer service, where building rapport comes naturally.

• A sales assistant or customer-facing role where you've worked towards targets.

Ideally, you'll have around a year's experience in a sales or customer-facing environment, but we're open to hearing from people with the right attitude and potential.

We're looking for someone who:

• Is naturally friendly, approachable and confident speaking with people.

• Enjoys having conversations and getting to know customers.

• Has a genuine interest in sales and achieving targets.

• Can recommend products without coming across as overly pushy.

• Is motivated to learn, develop and build a long-term career.

• Is reliable, positive and enjoys being part of a team.

You don't need to be a polished salesperson. Being down to earth, personable and comfortable talking to everyday customers is far more important.

This is more than just another sales job. The business is keen to develop people and give them the opportunity to grow their earnings and responsibilities as they progress.

• £24,785 starting basic salary, dependent on experience.

• Uncapped monthly bonus, giving you the opportunity to increase your earnings.

• Salary increases as you develop: As you learn and take on additional insurance products, your salary increases too.

• Full training from day one, with no previous insurance experience required.

• Genuine opportunities for career progression.

• 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing to 30 days with service.

• An additional day off for your birthday.

• A friendly, supportive working environment.

Monday to Friday, 9am-5.30pm, with one Saturday in every four weeks, 9am-1pm.

37.5 hours per week.

If you've got some sales or customer-facing experience, enjoy speaking with people and want an opportunity to build a career with a company that will invest in your development, we'd love to hear from you.
