Lead a High-Performing Team with a Proven Market Leader


If you are an accomplished sales professional or team leader feeling capped by poor stock levels, unsupportive leadership, or a static commission model, this is the environment designed to reignite your career trajectory.


Our client isn’t just holding market share in Bedford,they are actively expanding it. Having built a reputation over decades for staff retention, ethical practices, and dominant regional visibility, they are seeking an ambitious Sales Manager to take ownership of a high-volume branch and lead a motivated team to their next phase of growth.



Why This Company Stands Apart


Most sales managers spend half their time fighting internal red tape or managing poor inventory. Here, you step into a operation backed by robust stock pipelines, market-leading tech, and an established brand name that opens doors before you even make the call.

  • Clear Path to Directorship: Internal promotion isn't a vague promise here; over 70% of the senior leadership team started in branch management roles.
  • Unbeatable Staff Retention: Low turnover means you inherit a capable, cohesive team that simply needs clear direction, coaching, and strategic guidance to thrive.
  • Modern Systems: Backed by automated CRM tools and streamlined processes, allowing you to focus on strategy and coaching rather than administrative firefighting.



The Role


As Sales Manager, your focus isn't on micro-managing or ticking boxes. Your mission is to shape a high-margin sales operation, elevate team performance, and secure dominant regional market share. You will act as the operational engine of the branch, creating a winning culture where success is consistently recognized and rewarded.



Key Responsibilities


  • Driving Revenue: Lead from the front to consistently exceed branch targets, turnover goals, and margin expectations.
  • Mentoring & Coaching: Transform solid performers into top-tier talent through continuous structured development.
  • Market Expansion: Identify fresh growth opportunities across the Bedford territory to secure key accounts and high-value deals.
  • Strategic Planning: Partner directly with senior directors to map out quarterly commercial strategies and local marketing campaigns.
  • Pipeline Management: Oversee the end-to-end sales lifecycle, removing bottlenecks to keep deal conversions swift and seamless.
  • Culture Ownership: Build an energised, transparent working environment where high achievement is celebrated.



What Will Help You Succeed


  • A proven track record in property sales management, with demonstrable proof of meeting and exceeding revenue targets.
  • High emotional intelligence and an adaptive leadership style, you know how to tailor your coaching to different personalities.
  • A naturally competitive mindset paired with a genuine passion for developing the people around you.
  • Strong regional commercial awareness, sharp negotiation capabilities, and a consultative sales philosophy.



What Is On Offer


  • Base Salary: £34,500
  • Earning Potential: Uncapped commission structure with a realistic Year 1 OTE of £48,000–£55,000+
