Office-based | Monday to Friday | 9.00am - 5.00pm | Permanent
Our client, an established commercial insurance company based in Lutterworth is look for a proactive, resilient sales person to take on the role of a New Business Account Executive.
This is a pure new business sales role for an experienced commercial insurance professional who thrives on outbound prospecting, making calls, opening doors and converting opportunities into revenue.
You must have at least 2 years' experience working within commercial insurance and be genuinely driven by sales. This is not a role for someone looking to service an existing book of clients — your focus will be 100% on winning new business.
The Role
* Generate new commercial insurance opportunities through high-volume outbound calling and proactive prospecting.
* Contact identified leads and prospects to secure quotation opportunities.
* Build relationships with business owners and decision-makers.
* Conduct detailed fact-finds and work with the in-house underwriting team to develop appropriate terms.
* Present quotations, explain cover, handle objections and negotiate to secure the sale.
* Proactively follow up opportunities and maintain momentum through to conversion.
* Identify cross-selling opportunities where appropriate.
* Consistently achieve activity, conversion and income targets.
* Accurately record all sales activity and interactions within Acturis.
* Handover converted business to the relevant administration team for ongoing servicing.
What We're Looking For
* Minimum 2 years' commercial insurance experience.
* A proven track record in sales and new business development.
* A high-energy, target-driven and commercially hungry approach.
* Comfortable making a high volume of outbound calls every day.
* Resilient, persistent and motivated by rejection rather than discouraged by it.
* Confident handling objections, negotiating and asking for the sale.
* Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
* Strong organisation, follow-up and pipeline management.
Benefits include:
* Commission structure
* 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (increasing with service)
* Company benefits package following successful probation
