Trainee Negotiator | Start Your Career With Sage
Sage | Birmingham City Centre (5 mins from New Street Station)
Full time | Monday to Friday | 10:00am to 6:00pm | Immediate start
The way you communicate shapes almost everything, how you come across in interviews, how you handle pressure, how people respond to your ideas. At Sage, we help people build those skills from the ground up and turn them into a career. You will learn how to hold a conversation with anyone, read what people actually need, and negotiate outcomes that work, the kind of abilities that open doors long after you have learned them.
No experience needed. No degree required. We are growing our Birmingham team following a recent client acquisition, and we are looking for someone local with real drive who is ready to learn. Bring the willingness to be coached and we will teach you the rest, with structured training and daily support from people who want to see you do well.
Why Sage is the right place to start
We are based right in Birmingham City Centre, five minutes from New Street, working with established clients across sales, marketing, customer acquisition and business development. But what really sets us apart is how much we invest in the people who join us. Your first three to six months are built entirely around your development, with structured training and daily coaching from people who genuinely want to see you do well.
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.
What you will learn
These are skills that stay with you for life, in interviews, meetings, presentations and everyday decisions, not just in sales:
- Confident communication — how to start conversations naturally and connect with anyone, in any setting
- Active listening — understanding what people really mean and making them feel heard
- Relationship building — how trust is earned and why strong relationships drive long term success
- Emotional intelligence — reading people well and understanding your own style
- Resilience — handling pressure and setbacks without losing your confidence
- Persuasion and influence — presenting ideas clearly and guiding decisions, never pushy
- Commercial awareness — understanding how businesses actually win and keep customers
What the role involves
As a Trainee Negotiator, you will gradually take on responsibility for representing client campaigns, starting and managing customer conversations, understanding what people need, presenting solutions, handling questions, building trust and negotiating outcomes that work for everyone. You will have support and coaching at every step.
Where it can take you
After your initial training, you will work towards one of two paths:

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Sales and Negotiation — develop into a skilled Negotiator managing conversations and closing business, with a competitive base salary plus strong performance incentives and bonuses.
- Leadership and Management — an intensive route for those who want to build and lead their own teams, developing new starters and delivering results through others.
Progression here is earned through performance and consistency, never handed out for time served.
Who we are looking for
This could be a great fit if you are:
- Interested in communication, sales or business
- Comfortable meeting and speaking with new people
- Open to coaching and quick to apply feedback
- Reliable, professional and commercially minded
- Resilient when things get tough
- Motivated by real progress and results
- Able to work full time from our Birmingham office
If you have come from retail, hospitality, customer service, sport, events or any people focused background, you already have more of what we are looking for than you might think.
