We are looking for experienced Sales Professionals from the data industry, or email marketing sector, or related business environments to become ‘affiliates’ (full, or part time agents) and manage their own business within the support framework we’ve perfected.

We want people that can ‘hit the ground running’ in the new year. Data sales people and account managers frustrated at writing great business and seeing all the profit go to the company. We hired someone recently who was earning just 3% commission on data sales. Now he splits the profit 50/50.

The Affiliates are responsible for converting interest from prospects and clients through to negotiating the final deal. Traditional prospecting techniques coupled with Linked-In activity and other forms of social marketing generate tens of enquiries every week and the conversion rate to orders is extremely high. 40% of these orders will become regular repeat business so commissions to Affiliates grow month on month.

This role will be attractive to people that have sold data, or email marketing campaigns. You may even be currently working with/for another data supplier. In which case double your income by taking a bigger slice of the cake and become independent. Work from home gaining huge life balance and turn an ordinary salary with some commission into a £100K a year opportunity.

Non-data sales people. Sure. The learning curve will be a little longer as you have some industry knowledge to gain, but once that’s done there isn’t that much to it. People need data, it’s that simple!

You must have experience of up-selling to clients and this will drive commissions even higher.

The Role

You will liaise daily with the Sales Director, who will provide training and on-going support. Day to day activity is a nice mix of traditional prospecting (with guidance), telephone and email negotiations. Sales cycle time is short, usually less than two weeks and the sale isn’t hard, so very few ‘difficult communications’.

Essential Responsibilities of our Sales Professional:

– Direct customer interaction, as well as work closely with sales, marketing and operations personnel
– Key component of the sales process is acting in the role of expert at listening to the needs of the customer and transforming this into a solution
– Key responsibilities in the sales process include:
– Generate prospects
– Quantify and qualify the needs and scope
– Confirm the assumptions and the strategic direction
– Explore multiple options
– Focus and prioritize based on need, potential impact, readiness, budget, timing
– Form the recommendation with input from Sales, Marketing, and Operations:
– Define phases, activities, deliverables, and intended outcomes
– Back with rationale, data, compelling reasons to pursue
– Paint the picture in the language of the customer
– Prepare and package solution for presentation to the customer in whatever form makes the most sense
– Tell a story and align the solution with the client’s needs
– Be creative about it, and ensure our solution stands out for the right reasons

Knowledge and Experience Required by our Sales Professional:

– 8 to 10+ years of experience in sales, preferably in the data, or email marketing, or related sectors.
– Must be able to show a track record of successful selling and a desire to expand beyond the comfort of a salaried life. The benefits of self-imposed independence are clear, greater time flexibility, work and home life balance and much greater income potential. But working self-employed from a home base must also suit you if it is to be sustainable. Having said that we provide lots of opportunity for face to face meetings and sessions in our offices to keep you in touch with the wider customer and internal audience.
– You must understand the entire sales process
– Have an understanding of modern marketing techniques
– Be used to using a CRM as a sales aid
