When its so much more than sales targets.  Thats when it hits home!

We have an amazing opportunity for a Sales Executive (known internally to us as a Persona Host - Sales) to manage all sales activity for our exclusive Persona New Homes Development Site - Pompadour in Chelmsford.  

Based on site in our super trendy sales hub, youll ensure the personal touch for each and every customer, selling our contemporary design-led 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom homes.  This is a fabulous opportunity to join our award winning team (did you know were winners of best house at the €œWhat House Awards 2018€?) and to make a big difference to the lives of our customers moving into their Persona Home. 

Youll ensure that each customer has a uniquely fabulous and personalised experience purchasing one of our homes.   Whether its advising on lifestyle choices, superior fixtures and fittings to remembering exactly how they like to take their coffee!  You will be with our customers every step of the way, working hard on their behalf to help their dream home become a reality.

Youll be managing all sales activity from leads, to legal set up through to sales completion. This will include carrying out viewings, securing reservations and progressing sales through to completion.  Youll also work collaboratively with Home Group solicitors to produce legal packs and progress sales across our 179 plots. 

Youll be reporting to Julian, our Sales Manager and will be based on site in our amazing marketing suite. Youll be working alongside our regional sales team, who are full of new ideas and energised to work together to hit our sales targets and delight our customers.  The team love a good catch up to bring new ideas to the table and their sales targets are not met without weekly meetings to discuss sales and marketing techniques washed down with a Costa.  They also love discussing what's happening on the latest Luther episode and why does Julians coffee either come out way too milky or with too much water each time!

 A bit about you

With a passion for new home sales and achieving sales targets, youll have a strong background in a new homes or estate agency environment including knowledge of affordable tenure products and outright sale. Youll understand the financial requirements to buy, including mortgage processes and financial assessments. Youll be a self-motivated, and energised team member with excellent organisational skills. If youre brilliant at building relationships with your customers and leading a deal €œclose€, then this is the icing on the cake (or should we say the sold sign on the door!).

We may need you to travel to our different sites or to attend team meetings. So ideally youll have a driving licence and access to a car.  You will be required to work 37.5 hours per week, which will include every Saturday, week days and hours to be discussed at interview.
