Edge Recruits

Sales Executive

Sales Executive – Based Exeter, covering Devon & Somerset Region

Basic salary to £18,000 + OTE £28k uncapped. Company car after probation.  

This long established communications company based in Exeter seeks to appoint an experienced sales/business development executive to help build additional business within the Devon/Somerset region.  

You will need to become fully immersed in this business for the first few months, learning all aspects including production and all processes to ensure you can make an effective ‘solution’ sale to new clients. Coupled with this, to aid your learning you will be allocated some existing accounts in the early stages and ‘shadow’ an established sales executive, attending appointments together – all of this to give you the best possible start.  

Once settled in, you will be issued with a new business target and expected to build a pipeline through undertaking a variety of proactive activity to include: local networking/ events, telephone prospecting and client appointments.  Our client will provide a company car to the successful applicant following completion of probation but in the beginning will make a pool-car available for use to attend appointments. There will therefore be a requirement for the incumbent to report into the Exeter office on a daily basis.  

Whilst previous industry experience in any of: Marketing Communications, Print, Advertising, web/document design would be advantageous, candidates with a strong track record in business development and ‘solution’ or service sales will considered.  

This will be an immediate appointment for the right candidate and interviews will now be held in Exeter at a mutually convenient time during the coming weeks.  

Please note that due to large volumes of applicants at present, only those successfully short listed will be contacted by Edge Recruits within 4 days. If you have not been contacted please presume you have been unsuccessful this time.
