Job Description
About us:
Wifinity was founded in 2007 to solve a problem—our armed forces were struggling with reliable connectivity. While living in barracks, often in remote locations, ordering a landline and booking in an engineer just wasn’t an option.
And that problem isn’t exclusive to the military, either. Students living in University accommodation, families visiting holiday resorts, or living in shared accommodation and retirement communities.
Conventional home broadband doesn’t always work for them.
Wifinity is different. We offer the same benefits as traditional broadband, such as super-fast speeds, WiFi, and secure and private networks, but none of the downsides. We even offer Pay As You Go and flexible contracts, so customers only pay for what they need without hefty penalties or long contract terms.
We take the complexity out of connectivity.
The opportunity:
We are looking for an experienced technical sales lead to join our presales team. In this role you will be working alongside our sales and business development team on existing growth and new customer opportunities. The team's deliverables are to support sales in technically shaping new opportunities to showcase Wifinity offerings.

In addition, you will be responsible for discovering and driving customer requirements to facilitate solutions from any engagements. You will often be the first technical interaction a customer has with Wifinity and as such, will have the responsibility of fostering confidence and enthusiasm around our offering, not just the technology but our services too.
You will work with our Sales team, Presales Engineers, SME’s and the bid team. You will also engage with our vendors and external partners.
Your day-to-day role will consist of the following responsibilities, you may be required to carry out further responsibilities at the company's discretion.
- Regular interactions with customers both existing and developing

- You will be responsible for your own time management and scheduling

- Handover of won opportunities to internal stakeholders such as Delivery, Professional services & Operations teams
Customer Driven:
- Identify and assess customers’ needs to achieving and exceeding customer satisfaction
- Be customer focused and aim to influence their ideas and thoughts rather than enforce inflexible design approaches.
- Build sustainable relationships and trust with customers through open and interactive communication
- Handle customer queries, provide appropriate solutions and alternatives within the expected time frame and follow up to ensure resolution
