Trainee Sales Manager | Watford | £25k–35k OTE + Uncapped Commission
Ambition isn’t a qualification. It’s a starting point.
Want a career where your development, income and opportunities aren’t limited by how long you’ve been in the job?
The Atlas Collective is growing, and we’re looking for ambitious, competitive and hardworking people who want to develop real commercial skills, build confidence and progress quickly.
You might be a recent graduate looking for your first serious career opportunity.
You might already have a year or two of experience and be ready for a role where your performance has a more direct impact on your progression and earnings.
Either way, if you’re driven, coachable and willing to put in the work, we want to meet you.
No previous sales experience is required. Full training is provided.
What you’ll actually do
You’ll work directly with customers through face-to-face sales and customer acquisition campaigns, representing some of the UK’s biggest brands.
From day one, you’ll learn how to:
- Start conversations confidently with new customers
- Build genuine rapport and understand customer needs
- Present products and services effectively
- Handle questions and objections
- Generate and convert sales
- Work towards individual and team targets
- Analyse your performance and identify areas to improve
- Develop your communication, negotiation and commercial skills
You’ll be given structured training and ongoing coaching — but you’ll also be expected to take ownership of your development.
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.
This isn’t a role where you’ll sit on the sidelines for six months waiting for someone to give you responsibility.
You’ll learn by doing.
Where can this take you?
We want to develop people who can grow with the business.
As you demonstrate strong performance and leadership potential, opportunities can open up across areas such as:
- Sales
- Coaching
- Team Leadership
- Campaign Management
- Business Development
Your progression isn’t based simply on how long you’ve been here.
It’s based on performance, attitude, consistency and your ability to take on more responsibility.
What we offer
-
💷 £25,000–£35,000 OTE + uncapped commission
Your earning potential increases with your performance, with additional performance bonuses and incentives available.
-
🎓 Full training from day one
You don’t need a sales background. We’ll teach you the fundamentals and give you ongoing coaching to help you develop.
-

-
🏆 Performance-based culture
