CORPORATE SALES EXECUTIVE JOB DESCRIPTION

The Role

You will be working as part of a small team who supply tickets and hospitality packages to all major sports and music events, to corporate companies for client entertainment purposes. We are the UK's leading sports broker so you would be a vital part of the team responsible for business development and corporate client account management.

Your responsibilities will include generating new business by cold calling corporate companies, as well as responding to inbound telephone and online enquiries. This is very much a sales focused role and you will be expected to create new business by setting up business meetings with new prospects, by generating proposals and putting together quotes for clients. There is a small amount of administration in the form of updating database contacts, creating simple contracts and booking forms.  The role includes the opportunity to entertain clients face to face at events, and may require occasional networking at sports events which may take place outside normal working hours.

 The atmosphere in the office, being a brokerage, is fairly fast paced and at times pressurised; you will be expected to respond to enquiries quickly, so you must be able to perform under pressure, remain focused and tenacious.
