Are you passionate about building lasting customer relationships and helping businesses get the most from their connectivity solutions? As a Business Sales Executive within our SO Retention team, you'll play a key role in protecting and growing our small office and home office customer base by delivering tailored solutions that meet the evolving needs of UK businesses.
You'll be the trusted expert customers turn to when reviewing or renewing their services. Using strong questioning, commercial awareness, and relationship-building skills, you'll uncover customer needs, address concerns, and guide customers towards the right solutions. Success in this role comes from balancing exceptional customer experience with strong commercial outcomes, all while working in a fast-paced, target-driven environment where your performance is rewarded through commission.
Who we are
O2 Business is our new focused, digital-first B2B business serving customers across small, medium, and large enterprises, as well as the public sector. Powered by our next-generation fixed and mobile infrastructure, the new entity will offer a broader portfolio of best-in-class solutions – including cloud-based communication tools, voice and contact centre offerings, and 5G private networks – supported by a culture that prioritises in-office collaboration, with our teams generally working together on site five days a week.
