Are you looking to start a long-term career where your hard work directly shapes your success? We are expanding our team in central Darlington and looking for an enthusiastic Sales Trainee to join us immediately.

You do not need a background in corporate sales to apply. We care more about your attitude, communication skills, and drive to succeed than your CV. We provide complete, hands-on training from your very first day, designed to teach you everything from customer service and negotiation to team leadership and business operations.

What You Will Be Doing

• Learning foundational sales, communication, and client representation techniques through daily training.
• Interacting directly with customers to build rapport, answer questions, and secure new business.
• Collaborating with mentors and managers to track daily targets and personal development goals.
• Participating in interactive team workshops covering sales strategies and business growth.

Career Progression We believe in merit-based advancement rather than waiting years for a promotion. Our internal career path is entirely performance-driven:

• Phase 1 (Sales Fundamentals): Master direct sales, customer acquisition, and campaign delivery.
• Phase 2 (Coaching & Leadership): Begin mentoring new team members, running workshops, and helping coordinate daily operations.
• Phase 3 (Management): Step into senior oversight, managing campaigns, client relations, and team development.

What We Offer

• Competitive Pay: A reliable structure paired with an uncapped performance bonus scheme.
• Full Training: Structured, step-by-step guidance with dedicated one-on-one mentorship.
• Company Culture: Regular team events, networking opportunities, and performance incentives.

What We Are Looking For

• Great People Skills: You enjoy talking to people, listening actively, and building trust quickly.
• Positive Attitude: You are self-motivated, resilient, and eager to learn new skills.
• Background: Experience in retail, hospitality, customer service, or bar work is a fantastic fit, though no prior sales experience is necessary.
