Axis Telecom hits the road to recruit sales talent

Axis Telecom has launched a recruitment campaign to extend its network of sales agents and business development managers.

The Hull-based telecoms firm, which has a national business and consumer client base, is extending its sales channel by holding a series of roadshows in cities including Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester and York. The target is to recruit 10 self-employed agents per month, as well as business development managers to help support the company’s continued growth.

Agents will earn residual commission, receiving a percentage of the revenue from each call made as a result of their successful sales.

David Meyers, Managing Director of Axis Telecom, said: “We plan to grow our national sales force by appointing agents who can build relationships with businesses in their local areas.

“We pay agents commission in a manner that relies on continued customer satisfaction. This ensures a high level of customer service as there is a financial incentive for agents to sell a package that suits the client’s needs and provides a genuine commercial advantage to them.

“For Axis, selling a telephone package is just the start of a relationship with a customer. It’s what happens afterwards – the ongoing quality of service and customer care – that is important to us.”

Details of dates and locations for the roadshows will be available on Axis Telecom’s website, www.axistelecom.co.uk from the end of July.

Axis Telecom offers a range of services, from fixed telephone lines and broadband, to specialist business services, such as VOIP, call recording and auto answering, queuing and messaging.

In May, Axis helped to open up local telecoms competition by becoming one of the first operators to offer businesses in Hull an alternative telecom service to that supplied by the former council-owned KC. A month earlier, the company announced it had become one of Orange’s mobile virtual network operators to offer cut-price minute-and-text bundles.
