- Clearly present the features, benefits and lifestyle proposition of the homes and development.
- Position the development effectively against local competitors.
- Handle customer enquiries, objections, complaints and escalations professionally.
- Support Sales Advisors with customer enquiries, sales matters and more complex customer issues.
- Provide operational guidance and encourage best practice across the regional sales team.
- Assist developments during launches, peak trading periods, annual leave and periods requiring additional sales support.
- Work closely with Construction, Customer Service, Technical and Marketing teams.
- Build strong relationships with purchasers, solicitors, independent financial advisers, estate agents and internal departments.
- Maintain accurate customer, reservation, forecasting and sales information using CRM systems.
- Produce weekly reports covering enquiries, visitor levels, reservations, sales pipelines and forecasted completions.
- Monitor local market conditions, competitor activity, pricing and incentives.
- Ensure compliance with company procedures, consumer-code requirements, data-protection legislation and health and safety standards.
