Telesales person

We are a dynamic and fast paced UK based inbound marketing agency and we are looking for an awesome sales-person, who's great at remote sales using LinkedIn, email and the phone. Naturally you need both great emotional empathy skills and the ability to close. We are looking for someone with previous experience in direct sales, impeccable English, and who is motivated and driven to get the sales in. Show me the money!! They need to have great questioning skills, have the ability to listen carefully and direct the conversation in the direction they want. There are two parts to this job. Talking to people who have come to us to talk through an inbound marketing approach for their business. This requires good questioning and understanding of their pain points and needs around marketing. It's more of a strategic consultation than a cold telesales call. The second part of this job will involve interviewing people on pre-scheduled calls to help write up their LinkedIn profile and up-sell them to other areas of work. These conversations will be up to 45 minutes. Requirements: Passion for sales - Impeccable English - Previous experience in telesales - Pleasant voice - Excellent phone etiquette, and able to work in a quiet location - Interested in working full time in the long run - Preferably a UK accent - UK or European time zone (or ability to work to UK hours) - Experience in the inbound marketing niche isn't essential, but experience in a fast paced and marketing world is helpful. Note: this will start out as a part-time position that will develop into a full-time one (30- 40 hours a week) When applying: 1. Tell us your biggest sales success story. How did you get it? 2. Tell us your worst failure in sales? What did you learn from it? 3. Say you're selling inbound marketing to a legal company; one of the directors of which you connected with on linkedin who downloaded a marketing eBook from you. What's the start of your phone call look like (first few sentences of a call)? 4. If you feel the person at the other side is interested, but can't make up his mind, how would you close the sale? 5. Someone is yelling at you from the other side of the line. How do you handle it? Happy bidding!
