Role in a nutshell: Handling sales enquiries from customers and prospects and working with the Sales team to achieve Fleet volume targets.

The Fleet team strives to provide a complete eco-system of products and services for business users.

Your primary responsibility will be to help grow the marketable CRM customer base by qualifying customer and prospect requirements before handing them over to the sales teams as qualified leads.

Proactive conquest activity will be a major part of this role. Using data from a variety of sources, you will uncover new leads via an effective, omni-channel contact strategy. You will then own these prospect relationships until there is known opportunity for the client’s products and services to be transacted via fleet sales teams and an appointment with the prospect can be made. You will also work closely with the brand’s network partners to hand over smaller opportunities in their local area and help drive their local conquest activity.

This role will be based at the client’s Eco-HQ in Epsom, Surrey. Working within this busy, modern environment will also facilitate multi-skilling across other areas of the Fleet team to enable support and cover during critical times.

You will be engaging with prospects and customers daily with a focus on quality outbound activity to drive database growth.
