Telesales person needed to book appointments for our B2B writing training company

We're looking for an experienced freelance telesales person to help our successful writing and training business to win new clients.

About the role
The main purpose of the role is to generate quality face-to-face meetings with customer service directors. This will involve cold calling our database of contacts and making sure our list is up-to-date.

We’re looking for someone to work with us for a trial period to meet a target of 10 appointments. If it’s successful, we’ll extend this and work with you on an on-going basis.

You can work from home or from our office space on the South Bank.

About you
You’ll have a successful track record in B2B sales, and be comfortable talking to people at senior levels. You’ll be a competent writer and an excellent listener who’s well organised, with good time management skills.

You’ll take a warm, human and straightforward approach on the phone to build strong relationships. If you have experience in selling training, that’s an advantage (though not essential).

About us
The First Word helps organisations to improve their writing skills. We specialise in helping customer service and complaint handling teams to create a great customer experience with every letter, email and instant message. Our clients include Barclaycard, Allianz and EDF Energy.

How to apply
Please send us your proposal and CV, with a note explaining why you’re the one for the job - in no more than 250 words.

Thanks!
