The role

As a Sales Lead Generator, you will play a crucial role in expanding Assured Energy’s customer base and driving business growth.

• Booking appointments and/or warm transferring the customer to the Sales team
• Maintaining accurate and up to date records of leads, interactions, and progress in our CRM

What you need

To be successful in your Sales Lead Generator application, you must have at least 6 months’ experience in outbound lead generation, dialling or telemarketing, with a strong understanding of sales processes and how they are implemented. You must also be:

• Self-motivated and target-driven, with the ability to work independently

• Highly accurate with a keen focus on attention to detail
