Full-time
Welwyn Garden City
At Tristar Tech Solutions (based in Welwyn), we believe it's not about your experience or even lack of experience. It's about who you are. In short, we don't mind what your background is or even if you have experience, as long as you can have a good future.
We have gradually been building business for the last 20 years and our team of 15 is amazing. They do great work keeping our customers IT maintained so they can do business and do great work.
And what we need to do now is just tell other businesses about us. Sales and marketing.
Details of how to apply at the bottom.
So we need someone to do a mix of sales and marketing. Firstly, follow-up on incoming enquiries because we don't have anyone to do that. Maybe visit these enquiries in person accompanied by one of our technology experts and put together proposals.
And secondly, to tell lots of local businesses about us and see if they can use our services. Starting by sending out some letters (very old school but it works!). Follow up on them and speak to some people. And then figure out what else needs to be done to help us do better sales and marketing. Like attending exhibitions, start and run our social media and anything else you can think of.
Because while customers love what we do, we don't have a sales and marketing person! We're all techies.
What is also important is we have a great team who all get on. We can all trust each other and talk and laugh together. So someone who can come in and add to that would be great.
Salary? We don't know. But we're guessing around the £25k - £30k base salary with commission to take you up to £50k once you are hitting target. And we know it takes time to get up to speed and hit targets and are happy for inexperienced people to take their time.
Why are we hiring? Our second to last salesperson was with us for 10+ years and he is now retired. After he left, we hired someone who needed to get up to speed and unfortunately, when they started to become successful, they were offered a ton of money by another business and left. And good luck to them because we know that in the tech world, this can happen. There can be a lot of money for the right people. Because in sales / marketing, you can make your own salaries once you start bringing in more sales.
Although hopefully, the next person will stay with us and help us build our business over the coming years. And be an integral part of what we do.
And I guess this is why we love technology. And our people. Because it's all about the future. Ours and yours.
So if you've read all the way to the bottom and not just hit 'apply', just email me directly to apply. I'm Paul.Walker AT TristarTechSolutions DOT co DOT uk. Happy to have an informal conversation to start off with, not a job interview. Just a chat.
