Senior Sales Associate - Outbound Sales Team (Office Based)
Preston Docks | Full Time | 25,000-29,000 Basic (DoE) + Bonus
Want to be right at the centre of a high-performing outbound sales operation?
Let's be honest...
If you like slow days, quiet inboxes, and plenty of down time - this won't be for you.
But if you're organised, commercially switched on, and thrive when things are moving fast, you'll fit right in.
This is a role where you're trusted, relied on, and where your work directly impacts sales performance.
At Altius Group, we're one of the UK's leading business brokerages, closing hundreds of millions of pounds in business sales every year. Our outbound sales team is the engine room and strong diary management is critical to keeping that engine running properly.
We're growing fast and looking for a Diary Manager who can keep pace, think ahead, and take real ownership.
The Role
You'll be responsible for managing and optimising the diaries of our outbound sales team, making sure time is used properly, priorities make sense, and selling time is protected.
This is a fast-paced, commercial support role where attention to detail matters, and quick decisions are part of the day job.
In addition to diary management, this role plays a key part in the sales process.
You'll be handling inbound and outbound lead calls, qualifying prospects, pre-selling our services, and ensuring every appointment is well-positioned for our Associate Directors to close.
What You'll Be Doing
Managing multiple sales diaries for our Associate Directors
Booking, confirming, moving, and replacing appointments efficiently
Minimising gaps, clashes, and wasted diary time
Reacting quickly to cancellations and rebooking intelligently
Working closely with Sales Management to understand priorities
Keeping HubSpot CRM and calendar systems accurate and up to date
Spotting patterns in cancellations, availability, and diary efficiency
Acting as a calm, organised presence in a busy sales environment
Sales & Lead Qualification Responsibilities
Handling inbound lead calls and outbound follow-up calls
Qualifying all leads before booking appointments
Confirming key business details and ensuring high data accuracy
Pre-selling our services by clearly explaining the strengths of the business and the current market
Setting high-quality appointments that give Associate Directors the best possible chance of closing
Managing pre-sold leads, not cold calls - but confidently engaging prospects over the phone
Ensuring each appointment is properly positioned, informed, and sales-ready
Who You Are
Highly organised and naturally structured
Confident dealing with salespeople and comfortable pushing back when needed
Calm under pressure and able to juggle competing priorities
Detail-focused, with a strong emphasis on data accuracy
Comfortable working at speed in a sales-led environment
Commercially aware and confident speaking to business owners over the phone
Comfortable qualifying, pre-selling, and handling sales conversations as part of your role
Experience-wise
Previous diary management, sales support, telesales, call centre, or similar experience is ideal
Experience qualifying leads or booking sales appointments is a strong advantage
We'll also consider people from customer sales-facing or account manager roles if you're sharp, resilient, organised, and commercially confident
Comfortable using CRMs, shared calendars, and spreadsheets
What You'll Get
25K-29K basic salary (depending on experience)
Bonus linked to team performance
Office-based role in a modern, energetic sales environment
Clear expectations and strong leadership support
Friday early finishes, incentives, and team competitions
Free parking, team socials, and a performance-driven culture
Progression

This isn't a role for everyone, but if you're organised, resilient, commercially confident, and want to play a key role in a business that rewards performance, we'll give you the platform to do it.
