About Drive HGV


Drive HGV is a fast-growing, family-run HGV training company based in Basingstoke.


From our head office, we handle warm inbound enquiries from individuals looking to change career and become HGV drivers. These are serious customers exploring a significant life change.


We specialise in guiding customers through every stage of the HGV licence process, selling structured training packages typically ranging from £2,000–£4,000.


As our growth continues year on year, we are now looking to recruit an experienced Senior Sales Executive to strengthen and elevate our sales team.


The Role


This is a high-performance sales role suited to someone with proven experience in closing.


Working from our Basingstoke office, you will:

• Handle warm inbound enquiries

• Take full ownership of your pipeline

• Confidently guide customers through the licence pathway (training provided on product knowledge)

• Build trust quickly with people from all backgrounds

• Handle objections professionally

• Consistently close high-value training packages

• Lead by example within the team


This is not a call centre role. Our customers are making significant financial and career decisions, and the sales process reflects that.


Training & Support


Although we are looking for experience, we still invest in our team.


You will receive:

• Full product and industry knowledge training

• Ongoing coaching and performance development

• Regular sales strategy sessions

• A structured, performance-focused environment


We are building a high-performing team and want experienced individuals who can both deliver results and raise standards.


What We’re Looking For


We are looking for someone who:

• Has proven experience in sales

• Understands pipeline management, follow-up discipline and objection handling

• Is highly organised and self-driven

• Is commission motivated

• Thrives in a target-driven environment

• Sets high personal standards


This role suits someone who does not need constant supervision and takes ownership of their results.


What You’ll Get

• £30,000 base salary

• Uncapped commission

• Realistic £70,000+ OTE

• Monday–Friday hours only

• No weekends

• No bank holidays

• Company pension

• Free parking

• On-site gym

• A small but ambitious team environment where performance is visible and rewarded


If you are an experienced salesperson looking for strong earning potential in a growing business without corporate politics, we would like to hear from you.


How to Apply


Please include a short summary of your previous sales results and why you believe you would succeed in this role.

Successful applicants will be invited to a short telephone interview, followed by a face-to-face interview at our Basingstoke office.
