We are looking for a dynamic, highly-experienced and driven telesales executive to sell advertising solutions across our Kent Life Magazine and Kent On Sunday newspapers and on-line brands, based from our offices in Ashford, Kent.

We are looking for a bright, lively, confident communicator who wants to earn great money – you may not have media experience but you want the opportunity to manage your own client base, work hard and achieve great results for your team, your advertisers and yourself. You know that you are a confident communicator, with proven outbound sales skills and build rapport quickly and easily over the phone.

As well as making outbound calls, to speak to customers about the advertising opportunities we have, you will also be booking adverts onto the system, advising customers on their advertising campaigns and presenting forthcoming features to appropriate businesses so that they can chose to advertise alongside these. Its a busy, target-focussed, client driven environment where you will need to be able to cope well under pressure and constant print deadlines.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL:
• Have 1yr min outbound sales experience
• Have strong relationship building skills
• Have good organisational skills
• Show careful attention to detail
• Enjoy working in a fast-paced deadline orientated business
• Thrive working to targets

In return we offer £15,500 + OTE £5k in an uncapped commission scheme.
