Venue Sales Executive

Togather started life as Feast It, in 2017, as a booking platform for people to book street food caterers for their birthday parties and weddings. Since then, we have grown to become the UK’s biggest events platform as Togather for food, drink, venues, photographers and so much more.

We’re here to help people make amazing memories on some of the biggest and best days of their lives. Whether they’re planning the whole-company summer party, hosting an epic dinner party, or running an entire festival, we can - and do - help with all of it.

None of this would be possible without our amazing community of partners, who we handpick from across the country.

We’ve worked with everyone from Amazon, Nike, and London Pride, to Tom Cruise, Star Wars, and Taylor Swift. Within the office, we recently came #7 in the Startups 100 Awards and have been named in the top 15 in Tempo's 50 Best Places To Work. Our team truly love and care about what they do, which makes working here that much easier.

The Role:

We're looking for a Venue Sales Executive to join our Sales team, to help take Togather to the next level. Reporting directly into the Head of Sales, you’ll be responsible for supporting some of our biggest clients to book their perfect partner on Togather. You'll ensure your revenue targets are met and help motivate the wider team to hit theirs.

• Converting inbound leads from our biggest corporate clients and supporting them to find and book the best suppliers on our platform.
• Driving recurring revenue by frequently re-engaging with your clients on email, phone and through your self promoted LinkedIn profile.
• Becoming an expert in the event booking industry with a deep understanding of the best suppliers, secret upcoming venues and the knowhow to put it all together seamlessly for our clients.
• Taking ownership of your personal conversion metrics and feeding insight and analytics into the wider organization to improve company conversion.
• Cross selling on key accounts to introduce new suppliers to key clients. For example you might upsell a Christmas party venue client to also book their photographer and florist through Togather.
• Your strategic input, assisting in the development of systems and processes to enhance the sales process, and shorten the sales cycle.
