Sales & Leadership Programme

Sales & Leadership Programme – Nottingham City Centre

Full Time | Structured Career Development | Immediate Start Available

Looking for more than just another job?

FOCUS is looking for ambitious, people-focused individuals to join our Sales & Leadership Programme in Nottingham city centre.

Designed for individuals who want to build a long-term career, the programme combines hands-on sales experience with structured training, personal development and leadership coaching — giving you the opportunity to progress from learning the fundamentals of sales through to mentoring, leadership and eventually management.

No previous management experience is required. We’re looking for personality, ambition and potential.

What we offer:

• Competitive base pay with commissions, bonuses and incentives
• Realistic first-year earnings of £27,000–£30,000+ OTE
• Full sales, customer service and product training
• One-to-one coaching and mentorship from experienced leaders
• Structured development from Sales → Senior Sales → Leadership → Management
• Opportunities to mentor and develop others as you progress
• Performance-based progression with no seniority system
• Monday to Friday working week
• Social, ambitious and supportive team environment
• Company events, conferences, travel opportunities and end-of-year galas

Your development:

This isn't a programme where you'll spend months sitting in a classroom. You'll learn through a combination of training, coaching and hands-on experience.

Stage 1 – Sales Fundamentals
Develop your communication, confidence and customer-service skills while learning our clients, products and sales processes.

Stage 2 – Sales Development
Build your commercial awareness, develop stronger sales skills and learn how to consistently achieve individual targets.

Stage 3 – Leadership
Begin mentoring newer team members, develop coaching skills and learn how successful teams are motivated and managed.

Stage 4 – Management
High performers will have the opportunity to progress towards management responsibility, including developing people, overseeing performance and supporting the growth of campaigns and teams.

Progression is performance-based, so the speed at which you develop is ultimately determined by you.

Who we're looking for:

You don't need previous leadership experience or a particular degree.

We're interested in people who are:

• Confident, outgoing and naturally good with people
• Ambitious and serious about career progression
• Coachable and keen to develop new skills
• Comfortable working towards goals and targets
• Positive, resilient and self-motivated
• Interested in eventually leading and developing others
• Looking for a career rather than simply their next short-term job

Previous experience in sales, hospitality, retail, customer service, sport or other people-focused environments can be advantageous, but isn't essential.

Why FOCUS?

At FOCUS, our approach is simple: we develop our managers from within.

Rather than recruiting externally for senior positions, we invest in people at the beginning of their journey and give them the training, experience and support needed to progress.

There is no seniority system. Progression is based on your performance, development and ability to take on greater responsibility.

If you're ambitious, enjoy working with people and want the opportunity to develop into a future leader, FOCUS could be the place to build your career.

Apply today for immediate consideration.
