If you want a look into the role read below for a testament from one of our Sales Executives, Stacey:

“Making the move to AXA Global Healthcare 3 years ago was the best thing I have done! Previously working for 10 years in the Travel Industry for 1 company, it was nerve wracking to make the decision to move on - especially into Healthcare which was a completely different background to what I was used to. However going from a previous sales role to being a sales consultant for AXA, I soon learned that if you can sell, you can sell anything! (Of course once you have had the dedicated training!)

Also going from working weekends to having weekends and bank holidays off was a bonus too, which has helped massively with my work-life balance, this has been further improved with home-working. The colleagues are welcoming and make you feel part of the team from day one. They’re supportive and happy to help wherever they can, no question is silly, I learned this after asking many. Having our team day in the office helps keep the sales drive between us which of course leads to friendly team banter, and allows us to share ideas of better ways of working and what has been working well/could be improved.

Within the role we each have our own enquiries, quotes, call backs and emails and are responsible for your own targets, which in turn all help achieve the teams overall annual target. I personally enjoy this as I feel this keeps me driven and motivated each month. You’re rewarded for the hard work you put in with a very generous commission scheme, compared to where I previously worked with commission, it was very eye opening when I joined to find out what the potential earnings could be… and definitely are!

I enjoy the role and speaking to customers all in very dissimilar situations, meaning the conversations are different each day and you can support & guide customers with various needs/wants for Private Medical Insurance.You won’t regret the move to AXA, being a well-known company with other great staff benefits, it’s a great place to work!”
