As the Military Events Sales Executive, you will be working for a successful company that organizes global events alongside the Army and Navy. Your role will be varied and will include researching companies and contacts, fact-finding, networking, and having discussions with companies daily. You will be selling the benefits of attending their events, where they can network and promote their products, services, or technologies to the Army or Navy at their highly successful events. Once researched, you will be cold calling companies to start the ball rolling and using a tried and tested sales plan to develop relationships, secure their business, and retain them. You will also build relationships and network face-to-face when you attend their global events. This opportunity will give you the chance to travel internationally, as you will attend around four fully paid-for global events a year, each for around 2-4 days. You will receive full training and support in this amazing role.

Minimum Requirements

1. A valid passport to travel.
2. To live within a reasonable distance of Chelmsford.
3. To have an extremely clear and professional telephone manner.
4. Confidence to speak to business professionals and senior ranking personnel within the Armed Forces.
5. To be driven, motivated, enthusiastic, and confident to work to sales targets.
6. To be passionate and engaged to work alongside the Armed Forces.
7. In terms of experience, you will need recent office-based telephone sales experience or to be a graduate with no sales experience but with a passion for getting into military event sales. Ex-military with no sales experience will also be considered. As a company, they are pro-graduates and ex-military, as they consistently excel within the role. However, this opportunity is open to experienced sales professionals who do not have a degree or a military background.
8. If you have any exposure to the Armed Forces such as the Army, Navy, Royal Air Force, or Cadets (either yourself, your friends, or your family), it would be highly beneficial, but this is not essential.

This is an amazing, rare, and unique job opportunity!

We look forward to hearing from you.
