Trainee Sales Executive

Cardiff \| Immediate Start \| Full Training Provided \| Self\-Employed \| Uncapped Commission \| £33,500\+ OTE

Ready to build your confidence, develop valuable skills and earn based on your performance?

SGSR is expanding its Cardiff\-based sales team and is looking for ambitious, outgoing individuals who are eager to learn, grow and take on a new challenge.

No previous sales experience is required. You’ll receive full training, hands\-on coaching and ongoing support to help you develop your communication skills, build confidence and work towards your personal and professional goals.

If you enjoy meeting new people, thrive in a fast\-paced environment and want a role where your effort can influence your earnings, this could be the opportunity for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll represent established clients through face\-to\-face customer interactions in residential areas.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Speaking with customers and creating positive conversations

  • Building rapport and understanding customer needs

  • Explaining products, services and available offers

  • Answering questions and handling customer objections

  • Working towards individual and team performance goals

  • Developing your sales and communication skills through regular coaching

  • Representing clients professionally
This is a field\-based, customer\-facing role, so you should enjoy being out and about and meeting a wide range of people.

What You Can Expect

At SGSR, we believe your development should be just as important as your results.

You’ll have access to:

  • Full training — no previous experience required

  • One\-to\-one and team coaching

  • Ongoing personal and professional development

  • Uncapped commission

  • Performance\-based bonuses and incentives

  • Weekly earnings

  • Recognition and rewards for strong results

  • Opportunities to progress based on performance

  • A social, energetic and supportive team environment

  • Transferable communication, sales and leadership skills
Your earning potential is not capped. The more you develop and the stronger your results become, the greater your opportunity to earn.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re interested in your mindset, attitude and potential, not just your CV.

This opportunity could suit you if you are:

  • Ambitious and motivated to improve

  • Confident, or willing to build confidence

  • Comfortable meeting and speaking with new people

  • Competitive and motivated by goals

  • Resilient and able to learn from feedback

  • Reliable and professional

  • Open to coaching and personal development

  • Looking for genuine progression opportunities

  • Interested in developing sales, communication and leadership skills
Previous experience in retail, hospitality, customer service, recruitment, sports, events or sales can be helpful, but it is not essential.

Full training is provided.

Earnings \& Performance

This is a self\-employed, commission\-based position.

  • Uncapped commission

  • Performance\-based incentives

  • Typical OTE of £25,000–£35,000\+

  • Higher earnings available for consistent performers

  • No fixed salary or guaranteed income
Your earnings are based on your individual sales performance.

This role is particularly suited to people who enjoy working towards goals and want greater control over what they can earn.

Training \& Progression

You won’t be expected to know everything from day one.

Your training will cover:

  • Customer communication

  • Product and service knowledge

  • Building rapport

  • Structured sales conversations

  • Handling questions and objections

  • Professional customer interaction

  • Personal performance and goal setting
As you develop and demonstrate consistent performance, opportunities may become available to take on greater responsibility.

Potential progression:

Junior Sales Executive → Senior Sales Executive → Team Leader → Management

Progression is based on performance, development and readiness — not simply time served.

Please ensure you are comfortable with the following before applying:

  • Self\-employed position

  • Commission\-based earnings

  • No guaranteed fixed salary

  • Face\-to\-face sales

  • Field\-based work

  • Customer interaction in residential areas
