1What this role really is

As a Telesales Executive, you're the engine room of our sales pipeline. You'll spend your days on the phone, digging deep to understand what makes potential customers tick and how our product can genuinely help them. This isn't about reading a script; it's about connecting with people, uncovering their real problems, and booking quality meetings for our Account Executives. Think of yourself as a detective, a consultant, and a bit of a mind-reader, all rolled into one. You'll be the first real human voice a lot of our prospects hear, so you've got to make it count.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Meetings Booked
The total number of qualified meetings you successfully schedule for Account Executives each month.
Target · 12-15 meetings per month

If you book 14 meetings in October, you're hitting the higher end of the target, which is brilliant.

Opportunity Conversion Rate
The percentage of your booked meetings that convert into genuine sales opportunities (i.e., the AE accepts them as qualified).
Target · 60% or higher

You book 15 meetings, and 9 of those are accepted by AEs as qualified opportunities. That's a 60% conversion rate.

Talk Time
The total amount of time you spend in actual live conversation with prospects each day.
Target · 2.5 - 3 hours per day

If your Gong report shows 2 hours 45 minutes of talk time today, you're doing well. It shows you're actually connecting, not just dialling.

Dials per Day
The sheer volume of outbound calls you make to prospects.
Target · 80-100 dials per day

Hitting 90 dials by end of day means you've put in the activity needed to find those conversations.

Connect Rate
The percentage of dials that result in a live conversation with a prospect.
Target · 10% or higher

Out of 100 dials, you connect with 12 people. That's a 12% connect rate, which is solid.

Meeting Quality
The overall quality and readiness of the prospects you hand over to the Account Executives.
  • Account Executives consistently give positive feedback on your meetings. Prospects show up prepared and engaged. They understand the value proposition. You'll know you're doing well when AEs are asking for *your* meetings specifically.
Discovery Depth
How well you uncover a prospect's true pain points, budget, authority, and timeline during your calls.
  • Your call recordings show you asking open-ended, probing questions. You're not just following a script
  • you're genuinely curious. Your meeting notes for the AE clearly outline the prospect's challenges and how our solution fits.
Objection Handling Proficiency
Your ability to confidently and effectively address common sales objections without getting flustered.
  • You'll be able to hear it in your call recordings: you don't stumble when someone says 'no budget' or 'happy with our current provider'. You turn objections into deeper conversations, rather than dead ends. Your team lead will notice you rarely need help with common rebuttals.
CRM Hygiene
The accuracy and completeness of your activity logging and opportunity updates in the CRM.
  • Your CRM records are always up-to-date. Every call, email, and meeting is logged correctly, with clear next steps. Sales Operations won't be chasing you for missing data. It's the little things that make a big difference here.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Hitting Targets & Earning Commission

You're constantly checking your progress against your monthly quota, strategising how to get those last few meetings booked. The thought of exceeding your targets and seeing that commission cheque grow is a huge driver. You'll be the one buzzing after a big win.

You've just booked a meeting with a major prospect, and you know it's going to contribute significantly to your monthly bonus. That's the feeling you chase.

Making a Tangible Impact

You get a real kick out of knowing that the meetings you book directly lead to new clients and company growth. You enjoy seeing your efforts translate into actual business results, not just theoretical work. You want to be a clear contributor.

An Account Executive closes a significant deal that started with one of your cold calls. You feel a genuine sense of accomplishment, knowing you laid the groundwork.

Continuous Learning & Skill Development

You're always looking for ways to improve your pitch, your objection handling, or your discovery questions. You actively seek out feedback, listen to call recordings, and try new techniques. The craft of sales fascinates you.

After listening back to a call, you identify a better way to phrase a particular question, and you immediately try it on your next five calls to see if it works.

What frustrates people
  • The sheer mental and emotional exhaustion of making 80-100+ dials a day and facing constant rejection.
  • Being given a list of 'leads' from Marketing that are clearly unqualified, have wrong numbers, or are in the wrong industry, yet still being expected to hit quota with them.
  • Wasting 20% of your day cleaning up messy CRM records, trying to figure out if a lead is already being worked, or dealing with slow systems.
  • Management changing the script, target persona, or commission plan mid-quarter, forcing you to relearn everything on the fly.
  • The emotional rollercoaster: the high of booking a huge meeting followed by being yelled at by a prospect, all within 10 minutes.
  • Spending hours researching a prospect, having a fantastic discovery call, and then having them completely vanish, ignoring all calls and emails.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable, or low-pressure work environment.
  • Guaranteed immediate success without consistent effort and resilience.
  • A role where you're primarily focused on long-term relationship building with existing clients.
  • A role where you rarely have to deal with rejection or difficult conversations.

6Who you work with

This role directly fuels our sales pipeline. Your ability to consistently book qualified meetings means the Account Executives can focus on closing deals, driving our company's growth. Get it right, and we hit our revenue targets; miss the mark, and the entire sales engine slows down. It's that important, honestly.

Inside the business
  • Telesales Team Lead (for coaching and guidance)
  • Account Executives (who rely on your booked meetings)
  • Sales Operations (for CRM support and data insights)
  • Marketing Team (for lead quality feedback and campaign alignment)
Outside the business
  • Prospective Clients (your daily conversations)
  • Industry Contacts (for networking and market intelligence)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of experience in an outbound sales role (e.g., SDR, BDR, Telesales Associate), consistently hitting activity targets.
  • Proven ability to conduct effective discovery calls and qualify prospects using frameworks like BANT or CHAMP.
  • Demonstrable experience using a CRM system (ideally Salesforce) for logging activities and managing your pipeline.
  • A track record of meeting or exceeding individual monthly targets for booked meetings or opportunities.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with a clear, confident, and persuasive phone presence.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Sales Engagement Platform Optimisation

Simply executing sequences isn't enough anymore. The best reps will understand how to tweak and optimise their outreach within platforms like Outreach or Salesloft to improve their own conversion rates, rather than just relying on what's given to them.

A/B testing sequences · Personalised sequence branching · Data analysis within SEP · Integration with CRM

  • This month: Deep dive into the analytics section of our Sales Engagement Platform. What are your personal open rates, reply rates, and connect rates?
  • Next quarter: Propose and run a small A/B test on a specific email step in one of your sequences, with your Team Lead's approval.
  • Month 4-6: Learn how to build a basic sequence from scratch, understanding all the different steps and options.
  • Month 7-9: Share your personal best practices for sequence optimisation with the wider team during a knowledge-sharing session.

Quick win: Today, review your top-performing email templates in Outreach/Salesloft. What makes them work? Can you replicate that success in other messages?

CRM Data Utilisation for Territory Planning

Simply logging data isn't enough. Future-proof sales professionals will actively use CRM data to make smarter decisions about their territory, identifying untapped opportunities and optimising their outreach strategy.

Advanced CRM reporting · Lead scoring models · Account segmentation · Data integrity best practices

  • This month: Spend an hour each week exploring Salesforce reporting. Can you build a report showing your activity by industry?
  • Next quarter: Work with Sales Operations to understand how our lead scoring model works and how you can use it.
  • Month 4-6: Develop a simple account segmentation strategy for your territory based on company size or industry, using CRM filters.
  • Month 7-9: Present your territory analysis and proposed outreach strategy to your Team Lead, backed by CRM data.

Quick win: Today, create a custom report in Salesforce that shows your top 10 most engaged leads from the last month. What do they have in common?

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly listen to sales podcasts (e.g., 'Salesman Podcast', 'Revenue Collective') to stay updated on industry trends and techniques.
  • Actively participate in internal sales training sessions and workshops, especially those focused on new product features or objection handling.
  • Seek out and implement feedback from your Team Lead during weekly 1:1s and call review sessions.
  • Network with other sales professionals, both internally and externally, to share best practices and learn from their experiences.
  • Read books on sales strategy, psychology, and communication (e.g., 'Gap Selling', 'Never Split the Difference').

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: AI-Enhanced Personalisation & Messaging

Generic, templated outreach is quickly becoming ignored. Prospects expect highly personalised, relevant messages. AI tools are making it easier to generate these at scale, but you'll need the human touch to make them truly effective.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Telesales Executive is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

Where it leads

Roles this leads to

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

Start free and meet yours

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

Sell products or services over the telephoneLevel 3

The objective of this unit is to equip learners with the knowledge and skills to effectively sell products or services over the telephone. Learners will understand telephone sales techniques, identify customer needs through questioning and listening, present products effectively, and confidently close sales while handling objections.

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of sales work can feel like a grind. But what if you could ditch the tedious tasks and spend more time actually selling? Our AI Productivity Hub is designed to do just that, giving you a serious edge.

We're not talking about replacing you; we're talking about making you a sales superstar. For a Telesales Executive, AI isn't some far-off future tech—it's here, and it's ready to handle the boring bits, freeing you up to focus on what you do best: connecting with people and booking those crucial meetings. Imagine a world where your admin is cut in half, and your call prep is done for you. That's the reality we're building.

Automated CRM Updates

Forget spending ages logging calls and updating fields after every conversation. Our AI tools listen to your calls, transcribe notes, and automatically update Salesforce. It'll even suggest the next best action, so you never miss a beat. Honestly, it's a game-changer for admin.

Real-Time Call Coaching

Imagine having a super-smart coach whispering in your ear during a live call. Our conversation intelligence (think Gong) gives you real-time prompts for objection handling or key questions to ask. Post-call, it flags your best moments and areas for improvement, making every call a learning opportunity.

Instant Prospect Research

Before a call, an AI agent can quickly pull together a one-page briefing doc on your prospect. It'll summarise their LinkedIn, recent company news, and potential pain points. No more frantic Googling; just a concise overview so you can jump straight into a valuable conversation, feeling completely prepared.

Smart Follow-Up Drafting

After a great discovery call, AI can draft a personalised follow-up email for you, summarising the key discussion points, outlining next steps, and even attaching relevant case studies. You just review, tweak, and hit send. It's like having a personal assistant for your inbox.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Telesales Executive, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 4 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Telesales Executive: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

Other roles at Level 3

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Sales

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain as a Telesales Executive—resilience, communication, problem-solving, and a deep understanding of customer needs—are highly transferable. You could move into field sales, sales operations, customer success, or even marketing roles, especially those focused on lead generation or demand generation.
