Outbound Team Leader

Nov 2013 - Sep 2014
I ran a team of 15 outbound lead generators, generating home and life insurance hotkeys. Supplied a sister company with these warm hotkeys by driving specified traffic to appropriate sales consultants. Worked closely with directors and MD to produce over £10k in commission and ran daily incentives for my team. I implemented new processes to improve the teams ability and closely monitored their progress through call listening and subsequently trained where needed.

Fundraiser Team Leader

Apr 2013 - Nov 2013
Raising funds for the British Red Cross on the streets of the UK's towns and cities. Working from a central Manchester office, teams of up to 5 fundraisers, lead by team leaders such as myself, travelled to different areas of the UK and gained the rapport of town goers. We started conversations about the charity and ultimately received donations in the form of monthly subscriptions. We acquired their bank details on the street and inputted those details in to handheld PDA's that automatically sent a request to start a direct debit from their bank to the British Red Cross.

Canvasser
-
Oct 2006 - May 2012
Worked in the Time Share industry as an Outdoor Canvasser, approaching holiday makers with a view to encouraging them to visit the hotel, attending a presentation upon which they would receive a gift for doing so. Although this type of work has always been seen as nefarious or underhand, but the hotel is a stunning place to stay and I had a lot of fun learning the real hardcore sales and marketing that exists in the world. Using rapport and convincing techniques to condition potential customers in real time , taking them in a taxi half an hour’s drive away to a hotel they mainly had never heard of; on the promise of a free holiday and bottle of wine.
