• Location: Field based role to cover South West
• Reward & Benefits: Competitive salary, company car or car allowance options, bonus scheme and excellent Colleague benefits

About the role

Are you a talented and conscientious Sales Manager with a background in New Build, Construction or Property, who wants to work for a dynamic company with bold growth plans?

Do you want to be part of a company who not only values its people but rewards them accordingly?

We’re looking for a talented and target-driven Area Sales Manager to drive forward our ambitious sales plan, maximising sales through successful management and motivation of a team of Sales Executives. You will be covering our existing developments in the South West region, with new sites due to hit the market later this year in Exmouth, Barnstaple, Wells etc.

As Area Sales Manager, you'll achieve success through conducting visits to all sites within your area to meet with your Sales Executives, monitor their performance and address any issues. The Regional Sales & Marketing Director will rely on you to keep your Sales Executives up to date on performance and Company standards and to arrange/deliver any training sessions required. You’ll be looking after your Sales Team from the beginning of their journey at Churchill Living, from recruitment and induction, through to probation review and their growth within the Company.

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.

From the beginning of a new development, you’ll be responsible for:

• 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

About you

We’d love to hear from you if you have previous managerial experience within Sales, such as within a new homes, estate agency environment or a medium size housebuilder. It’s important that you understand our market and customers.

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 manage 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 or 'cash for car' allowance.

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
