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 we 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 Area Sales Executive to work full time in our developments in Sussex and Surrey.
As a Area Sales Executive you’ll be the person that makes a true difference to the lives of our customers as you introduce them to the world of independent living. You’ll proactively contact customers who have shown an interest in knowing more about our developments and provide the best advice on their purchase of the apartment and the lifestyle. You will be building strong relationships with customers to ensure that they have a hassle free and positive experience from enquiry to move in day.
Based on site from the Welcome Centre, you will have responsibility for the achievement of sales targets and budgeted selling prices for your development, gaining an understanding of the site, which will be the next place customers call home.
As the development takes shape, you’ll then have the opportunity to show customers apartments. You’ll have a show home centre that has everything at your fingertips – from floor plans and apartment designs to interior offerings and removal companies.
You will work within a dynamic sales team and liaise closely with onsite Marketing, Customer Relations and Construction teams as well as liaising with offsite agents, sales partners, solicitors and progress sales through to completion.
Tuesday - Saturday 9.30 am until 5.00 pm.
About you
We’d love it if you had previous new homes sales experience, even better if you’ve specialised in the retirement market.
We all understand that moving can be a daunting experience – your calming and supportive approach will ensure our Customers are at ease when making important decisions.
The key essential attributes are excellent customer relationship skills and a determination to succeed. You’ll need to be happy working independently, and have a proactive approach to sales and marketing.
You will demonstrate professional and responsible selling at all times, be prepared to get involved at every opportunity, possess excellent interpersonal skills and have previous experience of using IT databases.
You must also hold a valid UK Drivers Licence, in the event you are required to visit customers away from the site.
How you’ll be rewarded
- Competitive salary plus commission
- Cash for Car benefit or Company Car
- Annual holiday entitlement - 24 days pro rata + Bank Holidays
- Health Screening
- Day off on your birthday
- Group Personal Pension Plan
- Life Assurance
- Colleague Introduction reward scheme
