Role
Who you are
- We are looking for someone that is excited about the below Mission and Outcomes over the next 6-12 months
- To do this, you will have a minimum of 5 years experience in Sales in the UK
- Ideally, most of your recent Sales experience will have been in inbound Sales. And ideally, you will have held your last two roles for at least 18 months (barring exceptional circumstances)
- Most of your selling experience will have been in B2B or SaaS and/or services similar to what Sleek offers in the UK
- Our preference is that in at least your last role, you will have coached and/or managed other team members
- You will be a native English speaker
- Ownership: This shows reliability and helps build trust within the team. We move fast and need to know that everyone will see things through to completion and proactively help to get things back on track when challenges arise. Accountability is really important to us
- Humility: There is so much we don’t know. Humility allows for open-mindedness to feedback and a willingness to learn from others. It paves the way for collaboration and creates a positive work environment. It is a key ingredient of self awareness and emotional intelligence
- Structured Thinking: Our business is complex with many layers (many services, many countries, many cultures). Regardless of whether you’re more analytical or creative in nature, being able to show sound judgement is important to us. It ensures solutions are pragmatic and balance the needs of the organisation, team and customers
- A great listener: Our prospects need to feel heard and understood by you. You will present in a kind, calm, warm, attentive manner - working cooperatively to help solve the needs of our potential customers and never interrupting them
- Data driven: We are a data rich business with ~15,000 small customers. Each decision we make can impact many more people than we realise - so it’s critical that we use sound data to support our strategies and review the success of our initiatives
- Can have tough conversations in a positive way: It’s not a matter of if, but when difficult interpersonal situations arise. Disagreement, conflict and disappointment are a given in a fast moving business where people care about their work. People that proactively have tough conversations with kindness build empathy, trust and great working relationships
What the job involves
- Mission: Lead by example to help create a high-performing, engaged and scalable inbound Sales team for Sleek in the UK
- Convert inbound leads into new business, using your experience and skills to improve upon existing lead conversion ratios
- Become a specialist in Sleek’s market and Sleek’s offerings, thereby adding value to all leads (converted or not)
- Through your above-average listening and communication skills, provide a professional and delightful experience to prospects, helping to grow word of mouth and brand value for Sleek in the UK
- Train and coach other inbound Sales reps in the UK, sharing feedback and tactics in an empathetic and patient manner
- Maintain a clear and tidy pipeline of opportunities in HubSpot, ensuring reporting is timely and accurate
- Set aside time each month to identify and communicate opportunities for upsell to the UK Country Manager, Sleek’s Head of Sales and Sleek’s CRO
- Set aside time each month to absorb and share learnings with other inbound Sales team members serving the Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia markets
- You’ll be able to work from home. If you need to start early or start late to cater to your family or other needs, we don’t mind, so long as you get your work done and proactively communicate. You can also work fully remote from anywhere in the world for 1 month each year
Application process
- The successful candidate will participate in the below interview stages
- It might seem like a lot - but fear not - we come prepared! We anticipate the process to last no more than 3 weeks from start to finish depending on your availability
- Whether the interviews are held over video call or in person will depend on your location and the role
- HR Screening: A Quick Call with our Talent Acquisition Lead
- Case study/ Technical Round:
- A ~60 minute Case Study Presentation with a Sr. Account Executive
- Career Deep Dive & Behavioural fit interview
- Interviews with our Global Head of Sales & CRO
- References checks & Offer
- Requirement for background screening
- Please be aware that Sleek is a regulated entity and as such is required to perform different levels of background checks on staff depending on their role
Our take
One of the major trends of the last 10 years has been the automation of mundane tasks at large companies. Sleek wants to bring those efficiency-savings to the entrepreneur.
The company’s product vision is that of an operating system for entrepreneurs. To do that, it has built use-case by use-case tools to automate tasks like bookkeeping, compliance and incorporation. Sleek provides many of these services for free and cross-sells them to more lucrative products.
The company has had an impressive journey, most recently securing substantial funding. This funding will help it expand its services and strengthen its presence in key markets like Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, and the UK. With its innovative approach to simplifying business management, the future looks to be a bright one for Sleek.
