New Business Sales Consultant

2 days ago

Northampton, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom Simply Business Full time
If you're the kind of person who gets a buzz from closing a sale and loves solving problems for new clients, you'll look forward to coming to work every day. As a New Business Sales Consultant, you'll be the first point of contact for our prospective customers—the UK's small business heroes—helping them secure the protection they need to thrive.
We're looking at our next start date, 2nd February 2026
The role has a starting salary of £27,280 with potential to increase to £28,411 within 6 months. You can increase your salary once every twelve months, with half-year reviews, to £31,648, then £34,866, and finally £40,033 Here is what you'll be doing:
  • Instead of juggling administrative changes or renewals, your focus will be purely on winning new business:
  • Outbound Sales (Warm Leads): You'll make outbound calls to prospective customers who have already requested a quote, guiding them to the right policy.
  • Inbound Sales: You'll handle incoming calls from potential customers ready to discuss their quotes and buy.
  • Closing with Quality: You will follow the full sales process to completion, ensuring card payments and Direct Debits are accurate while adhering to FCA regulations and GDPR.
Who we are looking for:
  • We're looking for someone who is highly motivated, passionate about sales, and resilient. To succeed in this role, you will need:
  • Sales Experience: Experience in telephone sales is essential—ideally within business insurance, though we welcome strong sales professionals from other industries.
  • Resilience & Focus: You are able to handle objections, maintain attention to detail, and stay focused while working independently.
  • Tech Savvy: You are computer literate and comfortable multitasking across different systems while talking to customers.
  • Adaptability: You are open to change and eager to learn as our products and processes evolve.
The role has a starting salary of £27,280 with potential to increase to £28,411 within 6 months. You can increase your salary once every twelve months, with half-year reviews, to £31,648, then £34,866, and finally £40,033.
Above all, we'll value the difference you bring and offer opportunities for you to thrive and succeed. This is a hybrid position where you will be working up to eight days per month from our Northampton hub, subject to team needs. On the other days, you will work from home using equipment provided by us; you will just need to ensure you have a broadband connection with a speed of 20Mbps or more.

Our life event leave is an extra days leave every two years for those big moments in your life like moving house or your birthday. And as a thank you to our long-serving employees we offer a two week paid sabbatical after five years of service, then four weeks off after ten years of service.
And our core benefits can put your mind at ease with private medical insurance through BUPA, that covers any pre-existing condition. And a health cash plan that covers your everyday medical expenses.
We also make sure you're compensated fairly with a competitive salary based on your experience and the market we're in. Plus the potential to earn an annual bonus based on performance.
There's access to the tools to support your personal development with programmes on our dedicated learning platform. As well as support for your mental health with access to counselling. 
We'll match what you put into your pension up to five per cent. And pass on a tax-free sum that's four times your basic salary with our life assurance policy, with the option to increase it to ten times through our flexible benefit scheme
Our salary sacrifice car scheme gives you the option to buy a brand new, fully insured, and maintained car for a convenient fixed monthly amount taken from your gross salary (after 6 months service).
And our flexible benefits scheme gives you an allocated amount to use each year on benefits like critical illness cover, dental insurance, travel insurance, or a gym membership.
