About Sage Associates
Sage Associates is expanding its Birmingham team and is looking for ambitious, career-driven individuals who are ready to build a long-term career in sales, leadership, and business development.
This is more than just a sales role—it's a structured career pathway designed for individuals who want to develop professionally, take on responsibility, and progress into leadership.
No previous experience is required. We invest in people with the right attitude, strong work ethic, and ambition, providing comprehensive training, one-to-one mentorship, and continuous professional development from day one.
If you're looking for a career where your progression is determined by your performance rather than your time in the business, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.
The Role
From your first day, you'll represent established UK brands in a customer-facing environment, developing the commercial and leadership skills needed to build a successful career.
You'll play an active role in customer acquisition, relationship management, and business development, while learning how successful organisations build, retain, and grow their client base.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key Responsibilities
- Represent client brands professionally while delivering an outstanding customer experience
- Build strong, long-lasting relationships through face-to-face customer interaction
- Learn and apply proven sales and communication strategies
- Contribute towards individual and team performance goals
- Support the delivery of live marketing campaigns
- Develop an understanding of customer retention, commercial growth, and account development
- Progress into leadership and management responsibilities based on your performance
Training & Career Development
At Sage Associates, we believe in developing people from within.
You'll receive:
- Comprehensive one-to-one coaching
- Hands-on sales and leadership training
- Development in communication, negotiation, business development, and client management
- Exposure to commercial strategy, performance analysis, and leadership development
- A clear, structured pathway into management and senior leadership
Your progression is based entirely on attitude, consistency, and performance—not tenure.

- Ambitious, competitive, and goal-oriented
- Excellent communicators who enjoy working with people
- Coachable, adaptable, and eager to develop professionally
- Motivated by career progression, personal development, and financial success
