  • Learn to understand a client's goals and assess fit against what we do
  • Practise capturing and handing over clear notes so the wider team is fully briefed
  • Present your calls, take feedback, and refine your approach, the same loop our team runs every day
What you will gain
  • A working understanding of how a premium client-facing sales process operates
  • Confident, consultative communication skills you can carry into any career
  • Insight into how a real estate investment firm attracts and works with clients
  • Direct mentorship from the founders
  • A reference on completion, and a genuine route into a paid position for those who impress
Who we are looking for
  • Students and recent graduates from any background
  • Confident, articulate communicators who present well and enjoy working with people
  • Sharp, reliable and driven, with a professional and personable manner
  • Genuinely interested in client relationships, sales or business development
  • Comfortable on the phone and quick to build rapport
  • Any prior experience in sales, customer-facing or client-facing roles is a plus but not required
Logistics
