Why this role stands out
If you enjoy speaking to customers, building relationships, and spotting opportunities to add value, this is a brilliant step into a more commercial role without the pressure of cold sales.
You'll be working with a mix of existing clients and warm prospects, helping them get the most out of a well-established software platform, while naturally identifying upsell opportunities.
It's a great fit for someone from customer service, account management or sales who wants to increase their earnings in a supportive, team-driven environment.
What you'll be doing
- Speaking with existing customers to understand their needs and recommend additional products/services
- Managing and growing client relationships-this is not a purely cold sales role
- Following up on inbound enquiries and marketing leads
- Identifying upsell and cross-sell opportunities in a natural, consultative way
- Supporting campaigns and events to drive engagement
- Keeping CRM records updated and organised
- Working closely with marketing and internal teams
- What they're looking for
- Experience in customer service, account management, or sales
- Confident communicator who enjoys building relationships
- Someone commercially aware (you don't need hardcore sales experience)
- Positive, proactive and target-driven mindset
- Comfortable speaking to customers over phone/email
What's in it for you
- £30,000 base salary + realistic £14,000 commission
- Hybrid working (Fridays from home)
Why join?
- This is a genuinely great opportunity to move into a more commercial, higher-earning role while still using your customer-facing skills.
- You'll be supported, trained, and given warm opportunities-not just expected to cold call all day.
