About the role

Multi-function is an exciting place to be. It is a sales role with a difference, even though you are not the customers first contact with the company, often you can be the first person they speak to as a lot of the outbound calls you deal with would have bought their insurance policies with us online.

We are looking for individuals with active listening skills who can bring their outgoing personality to the role, with the emotional resilience to work under pressure in a customer facing role. This is a complex role, which will include motor, van and household insurance. You will be completing outbound sales calls and supporting our inbound contact centres, so you will need to get to grips with all three products, absorbing the theory before applying it practically on calls. It is important that you enjoy challenges and pushing yourself, but also thrive off constructive feedback, we will give you lots of feedback to help you improve your skillset, to help you earn as much incentive as you can.

This is a full-time position with long-term career prospects on offer. You will need to be flexible as we will expect working from home and the office alongside your team and manager who will be there to support you every day. In addition to the base salary of £19,820, after their probationary period Multi-function staff earn on average £270 per month incentive and potential earnings are up to £1000 per month on top of your basic salary. However, please note that you will not earn incentive during your training period of the first 2 months. Once you are trained and competent in dealing with multiple products such as motor, van and home insurance you will receive up to £300 bonus each quarter totalling an additional £1,200 a year. This means on average including your incentive, base wage, and bonuses for being multi trained, your average salary would be £24,260 per year.

You don’t need any previous sales experience, but you will need confidence and a willingness to learn. Also, in a sales environment, a competitive mindset will fit in well. You’ll use basic computer skills and your upbeat personality to manage daily out bounding and incoming calls. We will teach you all the product knowledge you need to help you excel, but we need you to have the confidence needed to take initiative when it comes to upselling.

Ultimately, we need you to be tenacious in the face of a challenge, with the motivation to push yourself to succeed and meet targets, whilst never losing sight of the importance of empathy and excellent customer service.
