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.
Let’s talk.
