Previous New Homes Sales experience would be advantageous; however, applications are also welcomed from ambitious trainee candidates with strong customer-facing sales experience gained within sectors such as automotive sales, estate agency, retail, hospitality or banking.

• Ensure customer records and sales activity are accurately maintained within Microsoft Dynamics.
• Promote available options and extras to maximise revenue and enhance the customer’s chosen home.
• Maintain excellent presentation standards across the sales office, show homes and development.
• Work collaboratively with internal departments and external stakeholders.
• Deliver an exceptional customer experience in line with the standards of a five-star housebuilder.
