If so, we are looking for a Field Sales Manager to join our ever growing team
About us
We are Churchill Retirement Living, the fastest growing company in the UK retirement house building sector and we're looking for people like you.
We're a family-run, privately-owned business and we're going places. We're proud of what we do, and the people we work with. We have ambitious growth plans for the future, now employing 700 people and growing all the time.
We pride ourselves on building beautiful, quality, purpose-built one and two bedroom apartments in desirable locations across the UK for those looking for an independent lifestyle in later life. Developments are designed to take away all the hassle and fears that can be experienced by older people and provide security, peace of mind and independence.
We've won a host of awards; most recently we have been recognised by The Sunday Times as the 3rd Best Company to Work For and in 2016 became the first ever retirement living specialist to have been named overall 'Housebuilder of the Year' by the WhatHouse? Awards.
About the role
We're looking for a talented, supportive and target-driven Field Sales Manager to support our Sales Executives in the Eastern Region, covering our developments in the Suffolk and Essex.
Your objective is simple: to maximise sales in your area through successful management, guidance and motivation of your team. You'll achieve this by conducting visits to all sites within your area to meet with your Sales Executives, review performance and provide solutions to any issues. The Regional Sales & Marketing Director will rely on you to keep your Sales Executives up-to-date with Company standards and to arrange/deliver any training required. You'll be looking after your Sales Team from the beginning of their journey at Churchill Retirement Living, from recruitment and induction, through to probation review and as they progress and develop in the years ahead.
Excitingly, you'll be responsible for developing the sales strategy for each site, including price recommendations. You'll liaise with a wide range of internal contacts during this process, and later on in the site's development, you'll attend regular progress meetings with the Marketing team to identify site-specific issues and agree marketing strategies.
You'll also oversee new site launches which will include:
- Preparation of the Welcome Centre, Office and Show Apartments
- Recruitment, induction and training of new Sales Executives
- Conducting local research, competition research and pricing exercises
- Attending and participating in promotional presentations and events
- Monitoring the interest shown in developments
- Site presentation and operation, including IT systems, Health and Safety, Sales Materials
- Management of sales standards onsite, including review of the 'Mystery Shopper' reports
Hours of work are 9.00am - 5.30pm Monday to Thursday and 9.00am - 5.00pm on Friday. Some weekend work may be required, dependant on demands.
About you
We'd love to hear from you if you have extensive sales experience within new homes, estate agency or with a medium size house-builder. We are specifically looking for someone who is ready to take the next step in their career and utilise their experience to support and guide the team to successful results.
You may already be a Sales Manager within a similar sector but are keen to be more hands on with the smaller number of selling sites.
You'll be comfortable working under pressure on your own initiative to obtain sales results and meet targets and you will also have a high level of computer literacy.
In order to motivate your team and inspire success, you'll have excellent interpersonal skills, a proactive approach to sales and marketing and a determination to succeed. You'll need to be happy working independently and travelling regularly across your area - we'll provide you with a company car.
How you'll be rewarded
- Competitive salary plus commission
- Annual holiday entitlement - 25 days + Bank Holidays
- Day off on your birthday
- Company car or car allowance
- Group Personal Pension Plan
- Life Assurance
- John Lewis vouchers - £200 to all expectant parents
- Eye Care Reimbursement Scheme
- Professional Subscriptions
- Training Courses
- Professional development
