This is a great opportunity to join a winning team as a Business Sales Executive. You’ll build and own your sales pipeline from day one, which is the perfect way to make your first big impact at Sky. Put your hard-earned sales skills and proven knowledge into practice in a fast moving, pro-active target-driven area selling to businesses.

What you’ll do:

• Put your sales skills to the test through mainly outbound calls selling business to business
• Create and own your own sales pipeline and portfolio
• Meet targets to support the business to drive new customer acquisition
• Create the very best customer experience
• Ensure your positive attitude shines through with any potential customers

What you’ll bring:

• Proven track record in a sales role where targets matter, preferably from a B2B environment
• Previous experience of working in a contact centre is a must
• A background in providing the best customer experience
• Ability negotiate and close orders to completion
• Be resilient and driven to succeed
• A great customer rapport and telephone skills
• The passion to take real accountability for your goals
• Determination to succeed and support the business

This role will usually see you work 8am – 6.30pm Monday to Friday on a three-week shift pattern plus the occasional Saturday.

The rewards:

We want you to feel confident when talking about our products, so you’ll get free Sky Q, phone and broadband. But that’s not all, you’ll also get:

– 30 days annual leave (and three bank holidays)
– A generous pension
– Private healthcare and dental
– A range of high street discounts
– Expert on-the-job training and support

Where you’ll work:

Your base site will be Leeds, however due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, we’re having to flex our recruitment and working practices to ensure we keep you and our staff safe. If you are invited to an interview, it’s likely this will be a virtual interview using video, and we’ll do our best to make the process smooth and straight forward for you. Should you be successful for this role, it’s likely you’ll need to spend some of your time working from home to begin with, but we’ll talk to you about this in more detail at the right time.

Inclusion:

We work hard to be an inclusive employer, so everyone at Sky can be their best. That means we don’t just look at your CV. We’re more focused on who you are and the potential you’ll bring to Sky.
