Sales Agent – Multiple Opportunities Available

Onsite | Carlow

We are currently recruiting multiple Sales Agents to join a supportive, high-performing onsite team in Carlow. This is a fantastic opportunity for people who enjoy helping customers, building relationships, and working towards clear and rewarding sales goals.


As a Sales Agent, you’ll handle inbound customer calls, guiding individuals through protection options that suit their needs. You’ll play a key role in supporting customers during important decision-making moments, including cases with more complex requirements. You’ll be fully supported by a collaborative team environment, structured training, and ongoing coaching to help you succeed.

This role is ideal if you’re customer-focused, target-driven, and looking for a stable onsite role with genuine career development opportunities.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Inbound Customer Support: Handle inbound enquiries professionally, using empathy and active listening to understand customer needs.
  • Sales & Targets: Work towards individual and team sales targets in a motivating, performance-driven environment.
  • Needs-Based Selling: Identify customer requirements and recommend suitable solutions, including upgrades or additional options where appropriate.
  • Accurate Assessments: Gather and assess customer information carefully to ensure the right outcomes every time.
  • Quality Conversations: Follow call guidelines while maintaining a natural, engaging, and customer-focused approach.
  • Excellent Service: Resolve customer queries efficiently, building trust and delivering a positive experience.
  • Data & Compliance: Handle personal and sensitive information in line with data protection, regulatory, and internal policies.
  • Team Collaboration: Actively participate in team meetings and contribute to a positive, onsite team culture.
  • Professional Standards: Maintain a respectful, professional, and positive attitude in all interactions.

What We’re Looking For

  • Sales Experience: Previous call centre or telephone-based sales experience is preferred but not essential.
  • Strong Communication Skills: Confident, clear, and professional verbal and written communication.
  • Target-Driven Mindset: Motivated by goals and achieving results.
  • Customer-First Approach: A genuine desire to help people and deliver excellent service.
  • Telephone Confidence: Comfortable and engaging when speaking with customers.
  • Attention to Detail: High levels of accuracy and quality awareness.
  • Resilience: Positive and adaptable in a fast-paced, onsite environment.
  • Industry Experience: Experience in a regulated or product-led environment is an advantage, but not essential – full training provided.

Why Join Us?

  • Multiple roles available due to team growth
  • Supportive, onsite team culture in Carlow
  • Structured training and ongoing coaching
  • Clear performance targets and development opportunities

For a confidential discussion and more information on the role, please contact Jessica Kennedy.
