Sales Specialist

As we continue to grow our specialist digital marketing services, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a Sales Specialist to join SEO Travel.

If you’re a sales superstar and are interested in working with inspiring travel brands, shaping our sales offering and would enjoy working at an innovative and growing company then we want to hear from you.

Picture this. You start work every morning smiling and excited for what’s ahead. You choose what time you start and where to focus your efforts. You go home (or move into the next room at home) feeling fulfilled and like you’re making a difference as part of a team that truly values your input.

That’s what we aim for every day at SEO Travel.

You’ll be charged with driving more leads and sales for the business to help us grow. You’ll integrate into the team so you understand our offering intimately and be able to communicate that to potential clients in an engaging and consultative way.

This isn’t a one-dimensional sales role.

It’s an opportunity to gain experience across the whole sales lifecycle – from data gathering and running outreach campaigns to booking meetings, developing leads into sales and helping grow the accounts, this role has it all. There’s also scope to help develop partnerships with some of the biggest names in the industry.

If you’re an honest salesperson with integrity that loves sales and want to work for an innovative business doing things differently then this is the role for you. And it’s packed with potential for increased responsibility and shaping our sales process.

We’re more than a marketing agency. We’re a group of highly skilled people looking to maximise those skills and help everyone in the team grow and develop. We spend a lot of our time helping clients get more visible and make more sales, but we also work on our own internal projects to stretch our creative muscles and create alternative revenue streams.

You’ll be trusted with freedom and given the responsibility to perform to the best of your ability. But you’ll also be given support whenever needed to help guide you on the path you want to go down and keep developing your craft.

We give all the profit we make to educational charities, so the work you do makes a real difference. The better the work we do together, the more impact we can make for people who really need that support. Your work in particular will drive that forward.

We’re entering an exciting period of growth where we want to invest in the team and the business, and we can’t wait to get like-minded people on board to join us on the journey.

If that’s the kind of environment that floats your boat then read on…

You know a bit about us – here’s what we’d be looking for from you. Don’t take this as a box ticking exercise where you need to fit everything, rather a guide on the things we’d love to have which we can use as a foundation to build on together :)

• Strong communication skills and ability to influence in a credible way.
• High level listening and negotiation skills.
• Unquestionable integrity and honesty. You’ll value the truth over making a sale.
• A commercial mindset and consulting ability.
• Excellent under pressure.
• A natural ability to get on with people from all walks of life.
• Ideally some knowledge and expertise in the digital marketing sector.
• Highly motivated, enthusiastic and with a positive attitude.
• Ability to take the sales process from start to finish and hit targets.
• A team player who is prepared to dig in and do the difficult things well.
• Analytical with the ability to understand strategic approaches.
• The drive to achieve results beyond the ordinary.
• A problem-solver who can think outside the box.
• An organised self-starter who can get things done in a small team.
• A desire to learn. This is non-negotiable for us. Every member of the team is always pushing to improve us as a whole and on an individual basis.

If you explore the SEO Travel website you’ll find more information about the kind of people we love in our team. :)

In the same way that we value long relationships with clients, we also want our team to love being a part of what we’re doing and be in it for the long haul. Here are some reasons we believe we’re a great place to work and you’ll want to do just that:

• Flexible working. You decide your hours and we have a combination of working from home and in the office which the team works out together.
• Self-managed working. You’re in charge of what you do and when you do it (within the business needs of course!).
• Input in all company decisions. We’re not a top-down organisation, everyone (who wants to) gets involved when we’re discussing big company stuff.
• Freedom to spend 4 weeks working abroad.
• 20% of time available to spend developing new projects of your choice.
• Everything you need to work safely at home. Mac, budget for a comfortable home working environment etc.
• Balance. We want to create great things and do amazing work, but we also want everyone to live great lives too.
• 25 days holiday + your birthday off.
• Company health (medical, dental) insurance plans after 3 months of full-time employment.
• £25k starting salary with uncapped bonus scheme

We assess people on their skills and fit for the team, not just CV and experience, so we’d love to get applications from anyone who believes they fit the bill from the details above. We want the person who is the best fit for the team and that can deliver fantastic results.

You will be expected to:

• Hit the ground running.
• Be comfortable joining sales calls immediately.
• Work closely with the team to understand the service and the business quickly.
• Drive leads as well as dealing with inbound enquiries.
• Manage your own workload on arrival.
• Measure and report on results.
• Work independently and hit targets.
• Demonstrate a desire to learn continuously.
