Senior Courses Adviser

Senior Courses Adviser and Marketing – a Superstar Sales Person wanted

 – Only the best wanted as we are looking for someone who is utterly brilliant at selling.  

We are looking for an intelligent person with enthusiasm who is energetic and hungry for success. A focused and determined individual who wants to be the best in what they do is required. Experience in sales or marketing will help, but this matters less than what you have to offer as an individual.  We are looking for a person looking to eventually lead a sales team, but first you need to prove yourself and that you can sell in this environment. The company has more than doubled in the last three years or so and we are looking to build on that and maintain the growth pattern. There are excellent marketing resources in place to generate and follow up with high quality leads and we are looking for someone to build a sales force in a relatively short period.

The qualities that matter most for this position are as follows:

1. Ability to sell
2. A focused individual who is well-disciplined and able to work using his/her own initiative
3. Someone who is looking to take the lead, help to build a sales team and motivate them to sell
4. Someone who enjoys making calls and speaking on the telephone
5. Someone who considers himself/herself to be a clever person and who easily grasps concepts. A lot of thinking on your feet is vital and having a good degree of arithmetical competence would be helpful
6. Good English and an articulate person who really can sell
7. A well-organised person who can follow instructions and work with others to create a well laid-out script in an orderly manner
8. Someone with very sound knowledge of the British education system – perhaps someone who has recently left school or university and who is familiar with the terminologies for different year groups, such as KS3, KS4, A-level and so on. A parent with children in the education system will also be familiar with these terminologies. An intelligent person with no knowledge of these details, but who can learn fast may be suitable
9. Someone who is ambitious and happy to start with a reasonable rate of pay but who wants to earn a high income within 6 to 12 months.

This is not a position for a mediocre person who wants to be like everyone else. We are looking for someone who wants to be the best and who is very competitive.

If you fit the requirements below, please let us know.

• A problem solver and not a moaner – someone who thrives on taking responsibility and who will be rewarded for it handsomely
• Someone with excellent communication skills
• A high achiever with a proven track record of being brilliant at something, though not necessarily selling
• Someone who has earned or is eager to earn £24,000 to £28,000 per year as the basic, with additional commission (totalling up to 35k) and possibly a bonus on top. Total earnings after 12 months should be close to 45k.

Your primary job initially will be to follow up on prospective parents by presenting the courses we offer to them and help to answer questions they may have. You will be looking to book consultations, a visit or convert them into paying customers on the phone. You will be doing this mainly via telephone calls, e-mails and letters, but this position does not include cold calling. Prospective parents have contacted us previously to express an interest in our services and we are following up with them.

We provide a service that people want and there is no need for hard selling. There are abundant resources to back up the sales team, but excellent performance is expected. We only require people whose references can be verified and these do not have to be sales-related.

There will be the flexibility to work between 4 and 5 days per week, including about 20 to 25 Saturdays a year during school term time. The work is mostly at our office in EC1, but there may be the flexibility to work from home on some days after an initial training and familiarisation period, and subject to being the right kind of person we consider suitable to the task required.

This role involves using customer service skills whereby you will be required to speak to people on the phone and present our services to them. Within a short period of time, you will be building a sales team. The ability to learn very fast and develop your own expertise in a fast-moving work environment is essential.

 

What we do

Excel in Key Subjects provides extra tuition classes, including Saturday classes, revision courses during school holidays, and other out-of-school tuition related services for teenage students who want to improve their performance in school and achieve higher exam grades at GCSE and A-level. Our target audience is parents of teenagers. There is a strong ethical dimension to the service we provide and the manner in which we market and sell our products and services. There is a very high demand for our services and we have achieved excellent examination results for our students for over 14 years.

There are opportunities and scope for learning in this position. Each aspect of the job has many resources available in order to gain the knowledge required and also the tools for implementing the tasks.

We are looking for someone who will grab the bull by the horns and use the resources that are available to achieve outstanding success. In the process of doing that, you will also be able to develop as an individual. You will be fully supported and encouraged to succeed, but this is not a job for moaners, whingers and complainers.

Below are some of the key traits that are required:

1) Being a Driver

2) Being ‘Emotionally and Socially Intelligent’

3) Having Passion and Aspirations

Remunerations – Salary and Commission:

Overall package is up to £30 – 40, with about 24 to 28k as the basic.
