Description

Door-to-Door Sales Executive

Great causes need great salespeople. If you love a target, have a high level of resilience, & want to be rewarded for every sign-up, this is the sales role for you.

At Charity Link, we deliver door-to-door sales & fundraising campaigns for some of the UK's most respected charities. In this role, you will be working exclusively with Dogs Trust, representing the charity directly to the public as a permanent member of our sales team.

Role Overview

In door-to-door sales & fundraising, you will visit households in your assigned area, telling the story behind the cause, & winning long-term support.

This is a sales role with a cause at its heart. As a field sales executive, you will knock on doors, start conversations with strangers & convince people that a regular monthly donation is worth making. Behind every sign-up is a dog in a rescue kennel that is one step closer to finding their forever home.

This is a target-driven, sales focused role, & you will be judged on results. You will hear "no" often, & the fundraisers who succeed are the ones who shrug it off, learn from it & knock on the next door with the same outlook. You will also be on your feet for the whole shift, outside, moving from door to door in all weathers. If you're competitive, resilient & motivated by a number to beat, you will love it.

You will work independently, but you will have the benefit of experienced sales managers & coaches will help you sharpen your pitch & hit your targets.

Key Responsibilities

• Visit homes in your assigned area, selling door-to-door, on your feet for the full shift
• Open conversations with residents & make every doorstep count
• Share the story & impact behind the Dogs Trust campaign, & make the case for regular giving
• Handle objectives confidently & close the sale, converting conversations into long-term monthly donors
• Hit & beat weekly sales targets & take ownership of your numbers
• Stay positive & keep your energy up through rejection, knockbacks & tough days
• Record donor details accurately using a tablet
• Travel independently to different postcodes within your area
• Represent our partner charities in a professional, ethical & positive way

What you will bring:

• Drive, resilience & a competitive streak
• A self-motivated, target-driven & commission minded approach to sales
• A genuine passion for charitable causes, particularly Dogs Trust
• The stamina for a role that keeps you on your feet all day
• Door-to-door sales experience is desirable but not essential, as full training is provided

Salary & Benefits

• Guaranteed basic salary, so you're never starting from zero
• Uncapped bonuses: the more you sign up, the more you earn
• Realistic on-target earnings of £47,000
• Full training
• Ongoing coaching & support
• Opportunities for career progression
• Regular incentives
• Generous referral scheme

Training & Development

Fundraisers complete a structured 12-week training programme, beginning with a remote induction, followed by continuous coaching from experienced managers & fundraising coaches. Full support is provided to help you succeed & build a long-term career in fundraising.

Working Hours

Full-time roles involve working five days per week, & typical hours are from 11 am to 7pm, including two weekends per month.

Travel & Equipment

Door-to-door fundraisers typically work near their homes, though travel across local & regional areas is required. Mileage is reimbursed for travel beyond 20 miles. All equipment, including uniform, tablet, & fundraising materials, is supplied.
