Job Description

đź’· Competitive base salary plus commission - realistic year one OTE ÂŁ50k

đź“Ť Hybrid Based Role - 1 days a week in our Lincoln office, 4 days per week remote (with once per quarter travel to our London and/or Sheffield office - travel paid)

Our mission:

  • Two in five people in the UK rent their homes. Our mission? To provide them with the best renting experience in the world 🌎
  • We started Goodlord because we wanted to make renting simple and transparent for everyone involved: the agent, the landlord, and the tenant. We knew Generation Rent would lead to more tenants, with higher digital expectations and we were confident we could provide a solution 🏠
  • Like all scale-ups it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster journey, but we’re now stronger than ever, with around 3,000 letting agents using the platform, exciting and varied products and 350+ Goodlordians across the group supporting the mission! đź’š

The Opportunity:

  • Working with current customers to identify how to use our Rent Protection Insurance product more effectively
  • Target driven, fast paced environment to grow your skills as a sales person
  • Training and developing our agent base to increase customer usage and our overall insurance book
  • Working with the wider insurance and account management teams to identify further opportunities
  • A team where success is measured against sales performance, customer satisfaction and your ability to follow regulated processes

What we need from you:

  • Proven success in closing B2B sales both up-selling and cross-selling
  • Ability to establish rapport and trust with customers quickly and efficiently over the phone (and in some cases, face-to-face)
  • Target driven mentality with the ability to stay motivated and resilient even under pressure
  • Comfortable working in a fast paced, autonomous environment.

What's in it for you:

  • 🚀 Grow with Goodlord: your development is important to us, that’s why we are Great Place to Work - certified. Have a goal in mind? Share it with us and you can use your ÂŁ1000 annual development fund to support it. We guarantee you’ll learn loads and develop both personally and professionally at Goodlord too!
  • đź’• Your well-being matters: bi-weekly coaching with Sanctus to provide Goodlordians with a safe place to talk and support your mental health
  • 🌴 25 days holiday (plus UK Bank holidays) plus 1 day per full holiday year up to 32 days: We believe regular breaks are essential for well-being and we encourage (some may say expect!) all Goodlordians to take full advantage of their annual leave entitlement.
  • 🤗 Supporting your family: we offer Goodlordians of all genders a generous 3 months of fully-paid time off to look after their new arrivals
  • 🤩 Our team: we’re an energetic, sociable, and talented bunch who are super passionate about what we do and determined to make a difference. We’re all in it together, we learn from each other, we’re genuine and we don’t have time for politics
