"New Customer" Conversion Phone Sales

Position Purpose This appointment operates as the primary professional gateway for landlords, managing agents, and property operators seeking immediate guidance on regulatory compliance and enforcement exposure within England, with responsibility to convert those enquiries into paying clients. This is a sales role requiring strong human sales skills and availability for UK working and evening hours, making UK based candidates most suitable. Comfort must be demonstrated in asking direct and sometimes difficult questions to obtain accurate and truthful answers. Information must be gathered efficiently and prospects must be guided with authority to book and pay for a consultation. Each lead will already have identified a need for the firm’s services. The role requires structured interviewing, qualification against the firm’s offering, and progression to a paid, high value consultation with the Casework Director. Responsibility includes disciplined management of inbound and outbound communications, rapid extraction of relevant information, and structured progression of enquiries into retained legal consultations valued in excess of £500. This is not an administrative post. This is a revenue enabling, compliance sensitive, front line role requiring judgement, authority, and measurable commercial impact. Key Responsibilities All telephone engagements must be conducted promptly, professionally, and with controlled authority. Approved diagnostic frameworks and scripts must be followed precisely during initial development in the role. Conversations must be steered firmly to maintain focus, clarity, and relevance. All required data must be captured accurately in real time and recorded in compliance with internal standards. The seriousness of each legal issue must be assessed through structured questioning, with matters triaged appropriately. Where appropriate, callers must be confidently guided towards booking a paid consultation. Financial transactions must be processed calmly, securely, and in accordance with company procedures. Between 20 and 30 calls per day will be managed once established in the role. A minimum of 2 structured triage calls per hour is expected during a 6 to 7 hour working day once competent. All personal and case information must be verified verbally and confirmed for accuracy. All post booking communications must be triggered correctly without omission. Any inconsistency, uncertainty, or legal risk must be escalated immediately. Absolute Requirements Fluent spoken English is mandatory, delivered with clarity, confidence, and a professional tone. A natural alignment with England based communication standards is required. A working understanding of UK address structures, postcode formats, local authority terminology, and regulatory language is essential. Strict adherence to process and compliance protocols is non negotiable. Each call must be conducted with calm authority and commercial awareness. Experience Required Prior experience in a structured telephone environment such as professional services intake, regulated sales, or call centre operations is required. Proven success in converting prospects into paid professional services is essential. Experience handling high value transactions and processing card payments by telephone is required. Experience working in target driven environments is expected. Exposure to legal, property, or compliance sectors is desirable. Skills and Attributes Strong listening capability with the ability to isolate key facts quickly. Ability to redirect conversations while maintaining authority. Commercial confidence to secure payment when appropriate. High attention to detail with zero tolerance for inaccuracy. Resilience under sustained call volume. A composed and authoritative telephone presence. Professional scepticism with no assumptions made. Security and Integrity References must be verifiable. Background screening will be required. Confidentiality and data protection standards must be upheld at all times. Sensitive legal and financial information will be handled, requiring absolute integrity. Working Pattern Availability of 6 to 7 hours per day is required. Call volumes must be managed within that period without backlog. Flexibility may be required to meet demand. Final Statement This appointment sits at the commercial heart of the organisation. It requires discipline, structure, authority, and commercial awareness. This role suits an individual who understands that precision and control generate trust and results, and who is capable of converting new customer engagement into retained business through structured relationships.

Research & assess whether events will disrupt treasure hunts

# Background We run 16 self-guided treasure hunts in cities across the UK. Customers play the treasure hunts on their phones, following fixed routes through public streets, parks, squares and city-centre areas while finding clues in their surroundings. Occasionally, an event in a city can disrupt a game. Examples include parades, protests, markets, festivals, filming and large sporting events. These events may block access to clues, streets, landmarks, squares, or other public spaces used in the game. We monitor upcoming events so we can decide whether to: * block customers from booking on dates with serious disruptions, or * warn customers that something potentially disruptive is happening. This matters because if players cannot access part of the route, they may call us during the game (which is stressful to handle), assume the game is broken, or abandon their game altogether. Different disruptions have different levels of impact: * If the start of the game or a clue location is inaccessible, we may need to block bookings or modify the game. * If a square is closed but there is no clue in it, players can often go around it. In that case, we would usually warn them rather than block the game. # Trial task This task is to assess whether 3 events would disrupt our games. This is a trial task. If successful, we are looking for ongoing support with this task and other admin and operations tasks. Below are 3 events in Bristol and York. The task is to research and assess whether these events will disrupt the treasure hunt route in the relevant city. Use the event information, route maps, and your own web research needed to make your decision. Event 1: (Bristol): https://www.bristolharbourfestival.co.uk/ Event 2: (Bristol): https://www.lovesavestheday.org/ Event 3: (York): https://www.futuresoundgroup.com/post/self-esteem-announced-as-live-at-york-museum-gardens-headliner # Recommend an action for each event ​​For each event, review the event details, the route map, and any other reliable sources you can find. Then recommend one of the following 4 actions: 1. Warn players Recommend this when the event affects part of the route, but players should still be able to complete the game. For example: * the area may be busier than usual * players may need to take a small diversion * part of the route may be less convenient, but no clue locations seem to be affected Please write a short message that will be shown to players that book this date, e.g. “The Yorkshire Marathon is on, making the city busier than usual.” 2. Escalate to Paul & Ian Recommend this when the event may affect one or more clue locations, block access to a key part of the route, or make the game difficult or impossible to complete. If you recommend escalating it, explain clearly: * which part of the route is affected * whether any clue locations appear to be affected * why you think the disruption is serious * what information you used to reach that conclusion We will then decide whether to modify the game, warn players, or block customers from booking. 3. No action needed Recommend this when the event does not appear to affect the route in any meaningful way. Briefly explain why you think it is unlikely to disrupt the game. 4. More information needed Recommend this when the event might disrupt the game, but there is not enough information yet to decide confidently. Explain: * why it might cause a disruption * which part of the route may be affected * what information is missing * what you would do next to confirm it For example, the next step may be checking with the organiser, checking with the local council, or waiting for a route map or road closure notice to be published. # Deliverables Please deliver the work as a Google Doc. For each of the 3 events, provide: 1. Recommended action: Warn players / Escalate to us / No action needed / More information needed 2. Notes: an explanation of why you reached that recommendation, including which part of the route may be affected, if relevant 3. Source links: links to any pages, maps, event websites, council pages, road closure notices, or other sources used to understand the event # Additional resources If selected, we will also provide: * these instructions in Google Docs format * full route maps showing clue locations * a worked example of how we normally approach this task # The priority is accuracy It is important that this task is done precisely. Our priority is accuracy over speed. For that reason we are looking for a careful, detail-oriented human (and definitely not someone just using AI!) # Time limit: 3 hours If you reach 3 hours, please stop and give us your notes so far. It's not a problem, we just want to understand how you work. Thank you! Paul & Ian Founders

Pattern maker and seamstress for athleisure wear

I am looking for a pattern maker who can create a sweatshirt pattern (I've got some rough ideas of having a slightly more curved and oversized sleeve), as well as a seamstress who can sew together the pattern pieces once they have been printed and dyed. (If you are both a pattern cutter and seamstress that would be amazing.) I need the final sweatshirts (5 in total) to be of high quality as I will be showing them at my postgrad degree show, my website and possibly to an independent boutique. Looking for a quick turnaround for both patterning and sewing. Many thanks Funmi
