Outbound Sales Representative At Outple

Job Description

About Outple

Outple helps businesses build capable, dedicated teams in Malawi.

We find talented professionals, employ and equip them locally, and provide the ongoing support they need to work successfully as part of our clients’ teams.

We are growing our client base in the UK and are looking for a confident, ambitious Outbound Sales Representative to help us create new business opportunities.

The Role

This is a telephone-led outbound sales role.

You will spend much of your day contacting businesses in the UK, speaking with business owners, directors and managers, introducing Outple and identifying organisations that could benefit from adding talented professionals to their teams.

Once fully trained, you should be comfortable making approximately 80 to 100 outbound calls per day.

This is not a role for someone who simply reads from a script. You will need to listen, think quickly, ask good questions and hold professional conversations with senior business people.

Your main objective will be to identify genuine opportunities and book qualified meetings for the Outple team.

Responsibilities

You will:

• Make outbound calls to prospective business clients
• Work towards approximately 80 to 100 calls per day once fully trained
• Speak directly with business owners, directors and senior managers
• Introduce Outple clearly and confidently
• Understand a prospective client’s staffing and capacity needs
• Ask questions to determine whether there is a genuine opportunity
• Handle common questions and objections professionally
• Book qualified sales meetings
• Follow up prospects by telephone, email and LinkedIn
• Maintain accurate prospect and activity records in our CRM
• Manage callbacks and follow-up activity consistently
• Work through targeted prospect lists provided by Outple
• Help improve our sales messaging based on feedback from conversations
• Develop your understanding of Outple’s services and the UK business market.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who is:

• Highly confident speaking on the telephone
• An excellent spoken English communicator
• Clear, professional and articulate
• Comfortable speaking with people they have never met
• Persistent and resilient
• Able to deal confidently with rejection
• A good listener
• Quick-thinking and able to respond naturally rather than relying entirely on a script
• Comfortable asking questions and leading a conversation
• Reliable and disciplined with follow-up
• Organised and comfortable working with targets
• Comfortable using computers, email and online business tools
• Ambitious and interested in developing a career in sales and international business

Experience

Previous experience in sales, telesales, business development, recruitment,  banking, telecommunications, customer service or another client-facing role would be useful.

However, we are particularly interested in communication ability, confidence, intelligence, attitude and potential.

You do not need to have worked with UK clients previously, but you must be capable of communicating professionally with them.

What Success Looks Like

We care about results, not simply call numbers. Performance will be measured through:

• Outbound calling activity
• Meaningful conversations with prospective clients
• Qualified meetings booked
• Meeting attendance
• Sales opportunities created
• Quality and consistency of follow-up
• New  customers generated from your activity

The strongest performers will have the opportunity to take on greater responsibility as Outple grows.

Working Hours

The role is based in Blantyre. Because you will primarily be speaking with businesses in the UK, your working day will be aligned with UK business hours.

Exact working hours will be agreed with the successful candidate.

What Outple Provides

You will be provided with the systems and tools required to do the job, including:

• Business telephone system
• Computer and sales tools
• CRM system
• Prospect data
• Email and LinkedIn tools
• Training on Outple and our sales approach
• Ongoing coaching and support

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary
• Performance-related bonuses
• Professional sales training
• Experience working with international clients
• Modern sales technology and systems
• Direct exposure to company leadership
• Opportunity to develop into a more senior sales or business development position as Outple grows

Recruitment Process

Shortlisted applicants should expect a practical interview process.

This may include a short telephone sales exercise where you will be asked to demonstrate how you would introduce Outple, speak with a prospective customer and respond to questions or objections.

We are looking for someone who is confident, capable, hungry to succeed and genuinely enjoys speaking to people.
