TRAINEE SALES EXECUTIVE Southampton Up to circa £28K Basic + Bonus Salary Reviewed Every 3 Months
Learn, Earn, Progress
We're hiring entry-level / junior Sales Executives to join a fast-moving, high-support B2B sales team.
This is a trainee role with real structure, proper coaching and a clear path to progression.
Perfect for someone with some sales or customer-facing experience who wants to build a long-term career in sales.
The Role This is hands-on, desk-based sales (around 90%), with occasional face-to-face customer meetings once you're up and running.
Handling both inbound and outbound calls
Managing your own inbox and customer enquiries
Building profitable relationships, not just taking orders
Working towards clear call and profit targets (no guessing what “good” looks like)
You'll be supported every step of the way, but ownership of results sits with you.
The Day-to-Day: No two days are identical, but your core focus will be:
Speaking to customers daily, high call volume, high energy
Managing a customer portfolio while also finding new opportunities
Spotting ways to turn enquiries into profitable orders
Updating your pipeline accurately and consistently
Learning how to sell properly, not just process orders
You'll go through a structured in-house Sales Academy, including:
Understanding the full internal sales cycle
Listening to real call examples from top performers
Shadowing experienced colleagues
Weekly desk-side coaching from your Team Leader
Monthly 1:1s with your Sales Manager
The Culture & Environment: This is a loud, lively, collaborative sales floor:
Music on all day
Live call stats and talk-time screens
Bells ringing when targets are hit
Daily shout-outs for calls and profit at lunch and end of day
Colleagues actively helping colleagues win
Targets matter, but people aren't beaten with them.
Coaching comes first. And yes… there are incentives:
Rolling 3-month salary incentives
Regular socials
Prize wheels, vouchers, chocolates, spot rewards (always changing)
Progression (This Is Not a Dead-End Role) Many of the Sales Managers here started in this exact role. The pathway looks like: Internal Account Manager ? Team Leader ? Sales Management Most leadership roles are filled internally. If you bring the drive, you'll be given the opportunity. You'll Fit This Role If You:
Have some experience in sales, targets, or a customer-facing environment
Are motivated by money and results (house goals welcome)
Enjoy speaking to people all day
Want a sales career — not “just an office job”
Thrive in a busy, performance-led environment
This Role Probably Isn't for You If:
You want inbound-only or admin-heavy work
Targets make you uncomfortable
You prefer a quiet, low-energy office
The Package:
Salary: £25,000 - £28,000
Profit Share: Annual, uncapped and completely individual
Hours: 8:50am - 5:00pm (1-hour lunch)
Early Finish Fridays: Finish at 3pm if weekly targets are hit
Holiday: 25 days (including Christmas closure)
