  • Self‑Employed Sales & Marketing Agents – National Charity Project
    Self‑Employed Sales & Marketing Agents – National Charity Project
    1 day ago
    £25000–£75000 yearly
    Part-time
    London

    We are The Wisdom Trust, a UK charity (number 1112323), which aims to protect the environment, reduce poverty, improve health and support human rights. We are 20 years old and have lots of campaigns and projects in place already to help us achieve our goals. But we've identified an environmental concern that affects one of the biggest industry sectors here in the UK and all over the world, that results in a catastrophic unnecessary wastage of water and energy. The good news, however, is that there is a simple solution, And now, we're on a campaign to reduce all this wastage and reduce its impact on our fragile environment. With this in mind, we’re recruiting self‑employed Sales & Marketing Agents to help roll out a major charity‑supported initiative for businesses in the UK primarily but also elsewhere too. Your role is simple: introduce businesses in our target sector to what they will clearly view as a ‘must‑have’, 'win-win' product and service that cuts wastage, saves effort and reduces costs — with no outlay required on their part. And that's it! You create good qualified leads and we and our team do all the rest. You do need to carry kit or samples and there is no demonstration required. All you require is the ability to learn the basics of the product, roughly how it works and how the business will benefit. Then use your charm and communication skills to a) talk to the right person and b) convince them that this is worth looking at further. You’ll work for yourself, choose your own areas, and build a portfolio of clients nationwide. Once you create interest, we and our partners will handle the full sales presentation, installation and ongoing service. You earn a monthly fee for every new client, paid month after month, creating a growing recurring income stream. These are 100% self-employed, commission based roles, but expected earnings are £25,000–£75,000+ per year, depending on activity and client volume. And in addition, you'll be helping raise funds for the charity to allow us to further develop our other campaigns to make the world a better place. Ideal for confident communicators, field‑based reps, networkers, or anyone wanting flexible, self‑managed income with long‑term rewards. Responsibilities • Develop comprehensive marketing strategies aligned with organisational goals to increase visibility and engagement., • Generate a regular supply of good-quality, qualified sales leads., • Manage relationships with clients, partners, and stakeholders to foster long-term collaborations., • Lead public relations activities to promote the organisation’s mission through media engagement, events, and community outreach programmes., • Provide exceptional customer service by addressing enquiries promptly and maintaining positive interactions with supporters., • Analyse market trends and competitor activities to identify new opportunities for growth and engagement., • Collaborate with internal teams to create compelling content for digital platforms, print materials, and events.Qualifications, • Proven experience in sales, marketing, or related roles within a non-profit or charitable organisation is preferred., • Strong knowledge of marketing principles, relationship management techniques, and public relations strategies., • Demonstrated ability in fundraising activities and donor management., • Excellent communication skills—both written and verbal—with the ability to engage diverse audiences effectively., • Organised with strong project management capabilities to handle multiple campaigns simultaneously., • A proactive approach with the ability to work independently as well as part of a team.
