ABOUT OUR CLIENT

Our client is a property buying and management company serving clients across the UK. The business supports homeowners who need to sell their property quickly and with certainty.

Customers may be selling due to relocation, divorce, inheritance, financial difficulties, repossession or other life changes, including situations where the traditional property sale route is not working.

THE ROLE: SALES PROGRESSOR

The Sales Progressor will be responsible for keeping the acquisition pipeline clean and moving by re-engaging leads and deals that have not been reached, following up with customers who have received an offer, and ensuring CRM records remain accurate with clear next actions.

This is a phone-based, process-driven role requiring regular customer follow-up and close coordination with the UK sales team. Building and maintaining trust with homeowners is an important part of the role.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Record customer responses and agreed next actions, escalating time-sensitive cases quickly.

• Handle sensitive conversations with empathy, particularly in difficult or time-pressured circumstances.
