      Cottages.com are the UK’s leading cottage holiday lettings agency. Working alongside Hoseasons and being the collated umbrella to the likes of cottages4you, English Country Cottages and Country Holidays. My job was to sell holiday cottages to UK holiday goers and villas to European holiday goers. This included booking ferries and selling personal liability insurance. I was targeted on inbound call conversion, as well as sales vs insurance sales and managed to be the top sales res after just 1 year and the runner up the following 2 years. After 3 solid years on the sales team, I chose to take on customer services and owner services roles whilst training to work on property recruitment. This included working in a branch face to face recruiting owners to the business and negotiating the percentage we would take from each letting sold. Show less

    • Direct Financial Services - Lending Team Leader
      • May 2008 - Jul 2010

      Starting in a high street branch of HSBC handling customers day to day banking enquiries. It was my role to upsell financial products and services such as loans, home insurance and credit cards etc. Once settled into the role, one of our call centre branches required a team leader that could train and manage a new team of 12 people to do as I did already. Taking on the role as team leader, I quickly learnt to be a mentor. I took responsibility for my team’s actions and was sure to provide training where necessary, by means of monitoring calls and providing constructive feedback. My team was targeted to convert general banking enquiries into profitable lending based on an established customer need, as opposed to just selling them something they could not afford. Show less
