Sales Executive

Astutis, part of Wilmington Plc, is a trusted name in the Health, Safety and Environmental sector, supporting thousands of learners and organisations.

We’re looking for someone at the start of their sales career who is hungry, ambitious, and happy picking up the phone to build a long‑term future in B2B sales.

This is a genuine entry‑level role with strong progression.

You’ll start with warm contacts (customers who’ve previously purchased from us or enquired) but this is not a passive position. From day one, we expect you to be proactive: making outbound calls, following up conversations, creating opportunities and building your own pipeline.

The first 3 months are about momentum, resilience, and consistency and in return, high performers can progress into an SDR role within that timeframe, with increased responsibility and earning potential.

You’ll receive structured training, warm data, brand credibility and ongoing coaching but success is driven by effort. If you’ve worked in a call centre, recruitment, customer service or outbound role and want to turn that experience into a serious sales career, this role is built for you.

• Work closely with Key Account Managers to identify and engage new potential buyers within key accounts.
• Proactively contact existing customers and warm prospects to identify new sales opportunities.
• Secure new business meetings for Client Solutions Managers and Key Account Managers.
• Assist the Finance team by accurately capturing invoicing master data.
• Liaise with Marketing to support and promote ongoing campaigns.
• Develop strong product and sector knowledge to confidently speak with customers.
• Collaborate with the wider sales team to maximise future revenue opportunities and accelerate your own progression.

The progression. This role is designed to develop you fast. With the right attitude and performance, you’ll be looking to move into an SDR position within 3 months, unlocking higher earning potential and a long-term sales career path.

You’re building your career inside a respected, well-known organisation where buyers already trust the brand giving you a far stronger starting point than many entry-level sales roles.

You’ll receive structured onboarding, continuous coaching, and exposure to modern B2B sales tools, giving you the skills, confidence and experience to progress quickly.

And because you’re helping organisations improve workplace safety and wellbeing, you’ll be doing work that genuinely has purpose alongside strong commercial outcomes.

This is a fast-paced, target-driven environment. While you’ll be starting with warm contacts, you will still need confidence on the phone, resilience when conversations don’t always convert, and the drive to build momentum day after day.

You’ll be learning professional B2B sales skills quickly while juggling multiple outreach activities — but for the right person, that challenge is exactly what fast-tracks progression into an SDR role and beyond.

• Some previous experience in a phone-based role such as sales, call centre, recruitment, lead generation or customer service.
• Comfortable making outbound calls and speaking to customers regularly.
• Confident working towards targets and activity-based goals.
• Hungry, ambitious, and motivated to build a long-term career in sales.
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail.
• Comfortable using IT systems, CRM platforms, and internal tools (full training provided).
