Key Responsibilities & Duties
In this multifaceted Sales Representative / Executive role, you will be the driving force behind new business acquisition and account growth. Your day-to-day will be varied, challenging, and directly tied to commercial success.

- Client Meetings & Presentations: Conduct professional and persuasive sales meetings, both virtually and face-to-face with clients across West Yorkshire. You will be responsible for understanding client needs, presenting tailored solutions, and demonstrating product/service value.
- Negotiation & Closing: Manage the entire sales cycle from initial contact to contract negotiation and closing. You will be expected to meet and exceed monthly and quarterly sales targets, with performance directly linked to uncapped commission and bonus structures.
- CRM & Pipeline Management: Maintain meticulous records of all client interactions, pipeline status, and forecasts using company CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot). Accurate reporting is crucial for strategic planning and management visibility.
- Market Intelligence & Feedback: Act as the 'eyes and ears' in the market, providing valuable feedback to clients on competitor activity, pricing trends, and customer sentiment to help shape future product and sales strategies.
This role demands resilience, excellent communication, and a strategic mindset. It's not just about making a sale; it's about building sustainable, profitable relationships that contribute to long-term business growth for our clients in Huddersfield.

FAQs: Sales Jobs in Huddersfield
While proven B2B/B2C sales experience is ideal, we strongly consider candidates with transferable skills in customer service, account management, or any target-driven environment. The key attributes are communication skills, resilience, and a demonstrable desire to succeed in sales. We provide training to bridge any specific product knowledge gaps.
Extremely quickly. For suitable candidates, we can often arrange a first-stage phone interview within 24-48 hours of application. If you have a notice period, we can work around it, but many of our clients are looking for immediate or ASAP starts. The temporary-to-perm model allows for a swift onboarding process through Workers-Direct.
It varies by client. Most roles we are currently recruiting for are hybrid. You will typically have a base in a modern Huddersfield office for planning, admin, and team meetings, but will be expected to travel for client meetings across West Yorkshire. Some roles may be more heavily field-based, while others (especially inside sales) may be primarily office/remote. This will be clarified during the initial screening.
Full support. You are our employee during the temp phase. We manage your payroll, handle any queries, and your dedicated consultant will conduct regular check-ins to ensure you are settling in, hitting targets, and are happy. We act as the intermediary between you and the client, providing a layer of support and advocacy. Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition to a permanent offer.
