Sales Executive - The World's No 1 Homes & Interiors Show

Would you like to turn your B2B sales/telesales experience into a real career? We’re looking for a talented Exhibition Sales Executive to join the team at the The World’s leading Consumer Homes Show.

We are one of the UK’s leading media owners, offering real career progression in a vibrant, creative environment.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

This is a great chance to get on board with the publishing and events group behind numerous multi-award-winning magazines, events and exhibitions. We are now looking for a talented Exhibitions Sales Executive to sell exhibition space for a hugely successful and very well-known exhibition brand in the homes & interiors sector. The show also has strong fashion &beauty sections and provides visitors with celebrity talks and demonstrations, runway shows, pop-up restuarants and, of course, superb shopping opportunities with exhibitors. You will have every opportunity to work with leading high-profile clients, develop your career and earn outstanding commission.

The role involves both telesales & face-to-face media sales skills. You will engage with exhibitors, develop new business, brainstorm ideas to maximise exhibitor commitment & provide the ‘wow factor’ for visitors and contribute to the growth of the show. You will attend shows and exhibitions to network, meet with clients and prospects and research new business leads. You will also work onsite for the duration of the shows and experience firsthand the energy and scale of the event.

We are offering a competitive basic and generous uncapped commission.

ABOUT YOU:

You’re bright and articulate with excellent all-round communication skills. You’re energetic and ambitious; you enjoy working towards and achieving targets. You will have some sales/telesales account-management/new business development experience. You may already have some media sales experience which will be an advantage but is not essential. You have the confidence and imagination to develop new business, pitch ideas to exhibitors ‘paint a picture with words’ and take ownership of account-managing your exhibitor clients. You will demonstrate a keen objective to establish and progress a career in exhibition media sales. At the very least, you have an interest in large-scale consumer events and will have attended shows as a visitor.

So, if you can take on all of the above with confidence & flair, we want to hear from you! Apply now attaching your CV as word or pdf document. I will contact short-listed candidates promptly.
