Join a business that helps students take their next big step - and shape yours at the same time. We`re looking for a high-energy, commercially minded Sales Executive to drive occupancy across our student accommodation. If you love converting interest into signed deals, thrive in a target environment, and enjoy meeting new people every day, this is for you.
Our sales cycle is human. Behind every enquiry is a student with ambitions, anxieties and choices to make. We sell more than rooms; we sell belonging, community and possibility. That requires pace and commercial focus but also care and trust.
What you`ll be doing
* Driving new leads and enquiries through proactive outreach (open days, student fairs, events & digital channels)
* Converting enquiries into viewings, and viewings into bookings
* Delivering compelling tours that help students feel at home before they`ve even moved in
* Handling objections with confidence and empathy
* Encouraging existing residents to rebook for next year through tailored offers and events
* Keeping a tight sales pipeline: fast follow-up, disciplined CRM usage, and strong closing conversations
* Achieving occupancy and revenue targets across multiple properties
* Staying sharp on competitor activity, pricing and market trends
* Win in a competitive market by staying sharp on pricing & offers
What you`ll bring
* Has proven sales experience (B2B or B2C): recruitment sales, mobile/tech, hospitality, property or business development
* Hungry for targets, recognition and commission
* Thrives in a sales buzz with seasonal peaks
* Competitive but always values-led and customer-focused
* Loves solving objections and closing conversations
* Has strong communication and negotiation skills
* Enjoys meeting people and building relationships
* Is organised, proactive and self-motivated
