Job description

Sales Executive - Peterborough - £base with amazing uncapped earning potential - Office Based

The Role

This is a sales role for people who actually like selling — not just the buzzwords around it.

You’ll be speaking with motivated professionals who already want to grow. Your job is to guide them, listen properly, recommend the right solutions, and close the deal. No smoke and mirrors. No hard sell for the sake of it. Just good conversations, done well, with strong earning potential to match.

It’s fast-paced, target-driven, and unapologetically commercial — but it’s also about relationships, trust, and doing right by the client long after the sale.

If you’re competitive, self-motivated, and enjoy seeing your effort turn directly into commission, you’ll feel very at home here.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Speaking to inbound and outbound leads who have already shown interest

  • Building rapport quickly and having confident, professional sales conversations

  • Understanding client goals and recommending the most suitable courses or programmes

  • Handling objections calmly (no scripts, no panic)

  • Closing deals and earning commission every time you do

  • Managing your own pipeline and following up properly

  • Supporting clients post-sale to ensure they get value and stay engaged

  • Hitting (and ideally smashing) individual sales targets

  • Getting involved in live events, office sales activity, and account management

What You’ll Need

  • Proven experience in sales, business development, or a similar role

  • Confidence on the phone and in face-to-face conversations

  • A proven ability to close deals — not just “have nice chats”

  • Strong objection-handling skills and emotional intelligence

  • Drive, resilience, and a thick enough skin to handle targets

  • Good organisation and follow-up habits (the small stuff matters here)

  • A team-first mindset, with a healthy competitive edge

  • The ability to perform under pressure without losing your head

What You Might Not Like

Let’s be honest — this role isn’t for everyone.

  • You’ll be measured on results. Effort matters, but outcomes matter more

  • It’s fast-paced and constantly evolving — no coasting allowed

  • You’ll need to back yourself and take responsibility for your performance

  • It’s not a quiet, clock-watching 9–5

  • If uncapped commission doesn’t excite you, this probably isn’t your thing

What To Do Next

If you’re reading this thinking “that sounds like me”, then don’t overthink it.

Apply with your CV and a short note telling us:

  • what you sell best

  • what motivates you

  • and why this role feels like a good fit

If you’ve got the drive, the confidence, and the appetite to earn properly, this could be a very smart move.
