Sales Executive Job Description
Simply put, a sales executive’s role is to sell as much of their company’s product or services to potential clients and partners. Working towards revenue targets and sales objectives, executives often work in teams, both communicating over the phone and in person. Reporting to sales managers, sales executives will likely do the legwork of a deal, organising and planning meetings which can reap valuable contracts and deals for their businesses.
Sales Executive Job Salaries
In an entry-level or low-barrier-to-entry role, sales executives earn a very respectable salary. According to 2023 Glassdoor data, the national average sales executive earns £27,000 in the UK. On top of this, executives often earn bonuses, raising their salary often above the regular graduate or someone their own age.
Salaries can range from £16,000 to £48,000 depending on your experience and the level of responsibility you have.
What Makes a Great Sales Executive?
Being able to form strong relationships and sweet-talk potential clients, the best sales executives will be naturally charming and have strong communication skills. Well-organised sales executives will also need to be determined to manage a diverse range of sales leads to transform opportunities into contracts and deals.
The highest performing sales executives will be very knowledgeable about the sector they work in, being able to explain how their company’s product or service stands out from competitors and convince potential clients to buy into it.
