Perfect your people skills. Get brilliant at banter. Join Vodafone and we'll help you become a guru of customer service.

And then, we'll make you even better at it.
Training: You'll start with a thorough induction, which'll include a couple of weeks in a 'training store', along with a four-day residential course. After that, everything you learn counts towards an NVQ Level 2. (And you won't even have to study outside work.)
Who we're looking for: Anyone can work here. You don't need to have experience in a customer services or sales environment (though it'll certainly help). All you need is a positive attitude, an eagerness to learn new things and that uncanny ability to build a rapport with anyone you meet.
Hours: Various Shifts

Multicultural, Social and Disability Book Field Sales Agents - Part-Time
Poppy's Books
- looking to recruit across the UK
Poppy's Books is a Norfolk based business selling a wide variety of children's books from an excellent range of publishers such as Frances Lincoln, Evans, Priddy Books, Random House and Walker Books. The company specialise in multicultural, social and disability issue books and are looking for field agents to sell directly to preschool environments. Dual language books are also being added to the portfolio.
The role: Agents usually make appointments by phone and arrange a visit to demonstrate books. Visits can last from 20 minutes to an hour and 2 or 3 visits can be made in a morning or an afternoon. There is no hard sell involved, preschools have a requirement for the books Poppy's Books supply, they simply do not have the time to source the books themselves.
A kit of books is supplied to agents at a cost of £100 or a larger set at £150. Catalogues will be supplied to supplement sales. Agents will take orders at each visit. Commission is paid at 25 - 35% with free delivery.
Candidate skills required: Agents are expected to read the kit books and know all the selling points for the books that they are supplying, so you will need to have a passion for reading and an interest in books. You'll need to have good time management skills; by arranging 3 visits in one area, there is less time spent in driving to different districts.
Hours: Agents can decide which days they want to work and only book visits for those days, or mornings. This is a very cost effective way of working. Please be aware it is very unlikely that you will be able to take young children with you on visits. It is much harder to sound professional if you are having to keep an eye on your children at the same time. This role is ideal for parents with a child at preschool or with older children.
If, like us, you are committed to providing quality customer service and professionalism and enjoy working as part of a team then we would like to hear from you.
To apply: Please contact Pat Saunders - Telephone 01603 860766, Email patsaunders@poppysbooks.co.uk or visit www.poppysbooks.co.uk
