Trainee Sales Executive

Join Wynyard Homes as a Trainee Sales Executive

The Role

We’re looking for a Trainee Sales Executive to join our team in Northumberland, and develop into a confident and knowledgeable new-build property sales professional.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is friendly, enthusiastic and passionate about working with people, who may have some customer-facing or sales experience but is looking to develop a career within the housebuilding industry.

You’ll be based across multiple developments, working alongside our experienced sales team and learning every aspect of the new-build sales process.

From welcoming prospective buyers and conducting viewings through to reservations and customer handover, you’ll receive training, guidance and practical experience to help you develop the skills and knowledge required to become a successful Sales Executive.

This is not high-pressure selling. It’s about understanding people, building relationships and helping customers make confident decisions about their future home.

Wynyard Homes is an award-winning housebuilder with a reputation for creating beautifully designed homes in exceptional locations across the North East and Northumberland. Every home is carefully considered, well crafted and built with local materials, designed to stand the test of time.

With a small but growing team of sales representatives across six sites, supported by a central head office function, we are experiencing strong buyer enquiry levels across all developments, with interest continuing to grow through our modern marketing activity.

Key Responsibilities

As your experience and confidence develop, you will be supported to:

• Welcome visitors to site and create a warm, professional first impression
• Learn how to conduct engaging and informative home viewings
• Develop a strong understanding of Wynyard Homes’ properties, specifications and customer offering
• Build positive relationships with prospective buyers
• Respond to enquiries from website leads, marketing campaigns, events and walk-in visitors
• Learn how to effectively follow up enquiries and maintain accurate customer records
• Assist with the reservation and sales process
• Develop an understanding of the legal and financial stages involved in purchasing a new-build home
• Learn about customer options and extras, including kitchens, carpets and flooring
• Liaise with solicitors, mortgage advisors, head office and site teams as required
• Maintain excellent presentation standards across the sales office, show homes and development
• Assist with keeping customer information and sales systems up to date
• Gather feedback from customers and share it with the wider team
• Support the experienced Sales Executive with day-to-day sales activity
• Progressively take ownership of your own enquiries and customer relationships as your confidence and experience grow

Training & Development

We are committed to helping the successful candidate build a long-term career with Wynyard Homes.

You will receive hands-on training and ongoing support from experienced members of the sales team and head office.

Training will include:

• New-build property sales processes
• Wynyard Homes’ properties, developments and specifications
• Customer service and relationship management
• Sales techniques and communication
• Managing enquiries and follow-ups
• Reservations and the legal sales process
• Customer options and upgrades
• CRM and sales administration
• Understanding the new-build customer journey
• Working effectively with site, construction and head office teams

As your knowledge and confidence develop, you will gradually take on more responsibility, with the aim of progressing into a fully qualified Sales Executive role.

Previous new-build property sales experience is not essential.

We are looking for someone who is:

• Naturally friendly, personable and confident when speaking to people
• Comfortable building relationships with customers
• Enthusiastic about property, homes and working within the housebuilding industry
• A good listener who takes the time to understand what customers really want
• Professional, reliable and well organised
• Comfortable using computers, email and basic sales systems
• Keen to learn and develop new skills
• Positive and enthusiastic, with a genuine desire to succeed
• Able to work as part of a small team while developing the confidence to work independently
• Well presented and able to represent the Wynyard Homes brand professionally
• Motivated by providing an excellent customer experience rather than simply making a sale

Previous experience in sales, retail, hospitality, customer service, estate agency, automotive sales or another customer-facing environment would be advantageous, but we are equally interested in candidates with the right attitude, personality and willingness to learn.

What We’re Looking For

Most importantly, we’re looking for potential rather than a perfect CV.

If you are ambitious, personable and keen to build a career in property sales, we will provide the training and support to help you develop.

You should be comfortable talking to people from all backgrounds, confident enough to learn how to present and demonstrate homes, and organised enough to manage customer enquiries and follow-ups as your responsibilities increase.

A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle is a must due to the requirement to work across multiple developments.

• Join a close-knit and supportive team
• Receive hands-on training from experienced property professionals
• Develop a genuine career within new-build property sales
• Benefit from strong marketing support and warm buyer enquiries
• Gain experience across the complete new-build customer journey
• Be trusted and supported rather than micromanaged
• Work for a growing housebuilder where your contribution matters
• Have the opportunity to progress into a fully qualified Sales Executive position
• Sell homes you can genuinely be proud of

This role is designed as a development position, with the potential to progress into a Sales Executive role as your skills, knowledge and experience grow.

For the right person, there is also the opportunity to develop further within the wider sales team as Wynyard Homes continues to grow.
