Door-to-Door Sales Executive
Great causes need great salespeople. If you love a target, have a high level of resilience, & want to be rewarded for every sign-up, this is the sales role for you.
At Charity Link, we deliver door-to-door sales & fundraising campaigns for some of the UK's most respected charities. In this role, you will be working exclusively with Dogs Trust, representing the charity directly to the public as a permanent member of our sales team.
Role Overview
In door-to-door sales & fundraising, you will visit households in your assigned area, telling the story behind the cause, & winning long-term support.
This is a sales role with a cause at its heart. As a field sales executive, you will knock on doors, start conversations with strangers & convince people that a regular monthly donation is worth making. Behind every sign-up is a dog in a rescue kennel that is one step closer to finding their forever home.
This is a target-driven, sales focused role, & you will be judged on results. You will hear "no" often, & the fundraisers who succeed are the ones who shrug it off, learn from it & knock on the next door with the same outlook. You will also be on your feet for the whole shift, outside, moving from door to door in all weathers. If you're competitive, resilient & motivated by a number to beat, you will love it.
You will work independently, but you will have the benefit of experienced sales managers & coaches will help you sharpen your pitch & hit your targets.
