Previous successful telesales people have come from a wide variety of sales backgrounds such as B2B sales, IT sales, software sales, commercial sales, etc. but in an ideal world you will have sold some type of application software. As they sell extensively into the trade and builders' merchant market, it would be brilliant if you have worked with software such as Spruce from ECI, Encore for Merchants from Anagram, Merlin, Intact IQ, Kerridge, Merchanter ERP, Windowmaker, Benchmark, Orderwise, prof.ITplus from OGL, Sage 200 or sharp-aX or similar.

But the real key is having B2B experience, creativity and curiosity, the ability to identify the market and the customer and to think outside the box.
