Sales and Marketing Trainee

The role

As our Trainee Sales & Marketing Executive, you’ll help us find new clients and tell our story. You’ll split your time between sales (finding and talking to potential clients) and marketing, creating content that brings them to us.

You’ll report to our Sales & Marketing Lead and learn on the job through a structured training programme. By the end, you’ll be able to run a campaign, manage a sales pipeline and win clients on your own.

Key responsibilities

Sales

• Research potential clients and build lead lists using LinkedIn, Google Maps and business directories
• Make first contact by phone, email and LinkedIn, and book introduction calls
• Follow up with every lead until you get a yes, a no or a “not now”
• Keep our CRM up to date so no opportunity slips through the cracks
• Help prepare proposals, quotes and pitch presentations
• Join client meetings — first to observe, then to lead

Marketing

• Plan, design and schedule social media posts (Canva, Meta Business Suite, LinkedIn)
• Help write blog posts, case studies and email newsletters
• Update content on our website
• Track results — reach, clicks and enquiries — and share a short weekly report
• Support events, networking and local promotions

Who we’re looking for

You don’t need a sales or marketing background — we care more about attitude than experience.

Essential

• Clear, confident communication in written and spoken English
• Happy to pick up the phone and talk to people you don’t know
• Organised and reliable — you follow up and meet deadlines
• Curious and coachable — you ask questions and act on feedback
• Comfortable with computers, email and social media
