We’re recruiting on behalf of a well-established insurance brokerage looking for a confident, motivated Sales Executive to join its friendly and professional team.
Your main focus will be converting warm leads into new business. The telemarketing team will transfer interested customers to you, giving you the opportunity to understand their insurance needs, prepare quotations and secure sales. You’ll also undertake some outbound calling to generate further opportunities.
