Event Sales Assistant

Events Sales Assistant

Full Time | £27,000–£35,000 First-Year OTE | Uncapped Bonuses

Skillify is expanding its Manchester team and is looking for confident, enthusiastic and ambitious individuals to join us as Events Sales Assistants.

Based from our office in Canary Wharf, this is a hands-on, customer-facing opportunity for someone who enjoys a lively working environment, meeting new people and working towards clear targets.

Please note: this is not a traditional Events Coordinator role. You won't be spending your days behind a desk arranging venues, managing schedules or coordinating suppliers. Instead, you'll be working directly with customers at events and promotional campaigns, representing our clients and helping to create positive customer experiences while generating sales.

The Role

As an Events Sales Assistant, your responsibilities will include:

• Representing our clients at events, promotional activities and customer-facing campaigns
• Engaging directly with customers and creating a friendly, positive experience
• Introducing and promoting our clients' products and services
• Working towards both personal and team sales goals
• Building your confidence, communication and sales abilities
• Working as part of a motivated, energetic and supportive team
• Learning how events and customer acquisition campaigns operate from the ground up

Who We're Looking For

Previous experience in events or sales isn't required. We're especially interested in individuals who are new to the industry and are keen to develop their skills and gain valuable experience.

You could be a strong fit for this role if you are:

• Confident, approachable and comfortable meeting and speaking with new people
• Energetic and enjoy working in a busy, social environment
• Motivated by targets, progression and the opportunity to increase your earnings
• Positive, dependable and open to learning
• Competitive while also enjoying being part of a team
• Interested in a career where your performance can have a direct impact on your progression

Experience in areas such as retail, hospitality, customer service, sports, promotions or other customer-facing roles can be beneficial, but it is not essential.

Training & Career Development

You don't need to have all the answers from day one.

You'll receive comprehensive training, as well as additional product and campaign training from the clients you'll be representing. Our aim is to help you develop your sales, communication, customer service and leadership abilities as you gain experience.

For those who are ambitious and consistently perform well, there are opportunities to take on additional responsibility and progress into leadership, campaign management and other senior positions.

What We Offer

• Uncapped performance-based bonuses
• £27,000–£35,000 first-year OTE
• Full training in sales and events
• Product and campaign training from clients
• Clear routes for career progression
• A supportive, energetic team environment
• The opportunity to gain hands-on experience in sales, events and customer acquisition

Ready to Start Your Career in Events?

If you're looking for a traditional behind-the-scenes events planning position, this role may not be what you're looking for.

However, if you're looking for a hands-on, customer-focused opportunity where you can meet new people, develop your communication and sales skills, work towards clear targets and build your career based on your performance, we'd be interested in hearing from you.
