About Wessex Internet
We are a fast-growing, innovative Internet provider, delivering full-fibre broadband across rural areas in the Southwest, including Dorset, Somerset, New Forest, and now expanding our network into Wiltshire. Dedicated to delivering lightning-fast broadband to thousands of countryside homes and businesses, we are different to most Alt Nets in that we design, build, and operate our own network to ensure every connection meets our high standards.
Late last year, we celebrated an exciting milestone in connecting our 10,000th customer to our full-fibre service. This achievement highlights our commitment to exceptional customer service and is reflected in our customer reviews and trust pilot scores.
We’re a growing business built on teamwork, where each contribution is valued and has a part to play in our successes. With a focus on personal and professional growth, we offer endless opportunities to make an impact. As we continue to grow, we are seeking passionate individuals to join our team.
The Role
Wessex Internet is excited to offer a great opportunity for a driven and confident Sales Executive to join our team. The role would suit someone who enjoys selling, building relationships, working towards clear targets, and making a positive impact; particularly in rural communities, by promoting our ultra-fast broadband packages.
You’ll be responsible for handling both inbound and outbound calls, engaging in campaigns, selling fibre packages and managing customer interactions through our CRM. While previous experience with these tools is a plus, we’re happy to provide full training to the right candidate.
Key responsibilities include building and maintaining a strong pipeline, hitting sales targets, and ensuring all customer interactions and opportunities are managed to a high standard.
