Sales Manager

We're looking for a highly driven, hands-on Sales Manager who likes a challenge, takes ownership and gets satisfaction from producing results.

This isn't a role for someone looking for the next management title, a comfortable basic salary or a team to manage from the sidelines.

You'll be expected to sell, lead, coach, solve problems and improve performance.

You'll have targets.

Your team will have targets.

And you'll be expected to know what's happening when those targets aren't being achieved – and do something about it.

For the right person, that's what makes this opportunity exciting.

The Challenge

CNM has been training Natural Health practitioners since 1998 and is one of the UK's leading providers of education in Natural Therapies.

Our purpose is: Creating a Healthier World, One Graduate at a Time.

We're looking for someone who can take our sales operation to the next level of performance.

That means building a strong team, developing people, improving conversion and personally demonstrating what excellent sales performance looks like.

We don't expect you to manage something you haven't mastered yourself.

You'll therefore start by learning our Course Consultant role from the ground up and proving you can successfully sell our courses yourself.

Once you take full leadership of the team, you'll continue selling.

Our Sales Manager should be one of the strongest salespeople in the department – not someone who used to sell.

What You'll Be Accountable For

• Achieving and exceeding team enrolment targets.
• Personally achieving your own sales targets.
• Coaching consultants to become stronger salespeople.
• Quickly identifying and addressing underperformance.
• Recruiting and developing high-performing people.
• Driving CRM, pipeline and follow-up discipline.
• Improving conversion and sales processes.
• Working with Marketing to improve lead quality and results.
• Using technology, automation and AI to improve performance.
• Building a culture of high standards, accountability and achievement.

Why CNM?

Every student we enrol can go on to improve the health and wellbeing of hundreds – often thousands – of people throughout their career.

You'll have the opportunity to build a high-performing sales team while contributing to something with a much bigger purpose.

Think You're Up for the Challenge?

Send us your CV and a short covering note telling us:

• Your best personal sales result.
• The biggest improvement you've created in a sales team.
• Why you believe you could succeed in this role.

We're not looking for someone who simply wants to be a Sales Manager.

We're looking for someone who wants to prove how good a Sales Manager they can be.

Someone who:

• Likes being challenged and measured on results.
• Has a strong personal sales track record.
• Takes ownership rather than waiting for someone else to solve the problem.
• Gets energy from targets and achievement.
• Enjoys developing people and raising performance.
• Is comfortable having difficult conversations when required.
• Looks at a falling statistic and immediately wants to understand why.
• Is constantly looking for a better way of doing things.
• Wants their earnings to reflect the value and results they create.

The Reward



• £40,000–£45,000 base salary + uncapped performance bonus.
• You'll be rewarded for both your personal sales results and the performance of the team you build and lead.
• A Sales Manager performing successfully in this role should expect to earn:£85,000+++
• There is no artificial ceiling for exceptional performance.
• But the higher earnings come with higher expectations.
• This is a performance role – the rewards are there because the results are expected.
