Sales Executive

Would you like a job selling the most important item most people will ever buy – their home??! Selling new homes is a rewarding career full of opportunity. At ACR we are working with one of the premium developers in Norfolk to help secure the services of highly talented, well presented, articulate and professional individuals keen to forge a career in the sale of new homes. While experience in the sector would be beneficial, our client is open to considering people who are confident and comfortable in a business to consumer, public facing sales role.

This is not a role that involves a short, sharp interaction with the buyer. This role suits rapport builders who understand that the consumer is committing to a life-changing purchase. Your role will be to support them through this journey. Get to know them and understand their requirements - what are the key aspects of a property that will ensure the purchase meets with their expectations.  It is an incredibly varied job role from taking responsibility for ensuring that outstanding presentation is maintained in show homes, to explaining choices on interior design (for example kitchens) and supporting prospective buyers to understand affordability and the options available to them, while simultaneously knowing and explaining the local area and amenities such as schools and shops.

Successful Sales Executives and Sales Advisors can expect a competitive basic salary, with commission taking OTE to a very achievable £60k + benefits. Career progression for outstanding performance in this demanding sector can lead to Field Sales Manager, Senior Sales Manager and eventually Sales Director opportunities. You will need to be prepared to work weekends – it’s a sales job and success is recognised with commission, so if you want to succeed you have to be prepared to work the days when most people want to view new homes. You do receive two days off during the week – so if this suits your lifestyle this could be the job for you!
