Job Description

📍Hybrid Based Role - 2 days a week in our Lincoln office, 3 days per week remote (with once per quarter travel to our London and/or Sheffield office - travel paid)

💰 Base salary + Commission = £50k OTE in year one (with the ability to overachieve)

Our mission:

  • Two in five people in the UK rent their homes. Goodlord's 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 supporting the mission! 💚

The Opportunity:

  • Working with current customers to identify how to use our Rent Protection 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. Have a goal in mind? Share it with us and you can use your £1000 annual development fund to support it. We guarantee you’ll learn loads and develop both personally and professionally at Goodlord too!
  • 💕 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
