THE CANDIDATES

The candidates should be professional, commercially minded, assertive and able to demonstrate knowledge of successful sales processes. They should also have a proven track record, ideally in sales, with experience in live events and/or digital media selling. With experience of selling to senior managers, directors and CEO level, the candidates will be able to work on their own initiative. The candidates must be resilient and respond well under pressure, show high levels of confidence, listen, be customer focused at all times and be able to problem-solve quickly. Exceptional organisational and time management skills are therefore essential. Though managed by a Commercial Manager, Commercial Executives are expected to be self-starters who set themselves realistic but stretching goals, provide clear and accurate information on their performance and whose attitude is one of someone who is trying to continually improve themselves. The candidates should be strong at networking in face-to-face environments, which is a big part of the job.
