Looking for a Career Where Your Mindset Matters More Than Your Previous Job?
Are you competitive, ambitious and driven to succeed?
Maybe you’ve worked in sport, hospitality, retail, customer service, fitness, construction, education, logistics, management, sales, business, or another industry entirely.
At 5 Aces Marketing, we believe that your previous job title doesn’t define your potential.
We’re looking for people with a sports mindset, business mindset or entrepreneurial mindset — people who enjoy setting goals, competing, improving, taking responsibility and pushing themselves to achieve more.
If you’re someone who wants to develop valuable business skills, increase your earning potential and build towards leadership, this could be the opportunity for you.
Previous sales experience is NOT essential. Your attitude, work ethic and willingness to learn are what matter most.
About the Role
You’ll represent UK-known and internationally recognised brands through face-to-face customer acquisition and business development.
Our campaigns operate across a range of sectors, including:
- Broadband
- Gas & electricity
- Telecommunications
- Charity
- Other essential consumer services
We operate across home-to-home, venue-based and business-to-business (B2B) campaigns, giving you the opportunity to develop a wide range of commercial and communication skills.
Your role will involve engaging with customers and businesses, understanding their needs, presenting suitable solutions and generating new business for our clients.
This is a performance-driven environment where your development and earnings can grow alongside your results.
The Mindset We’re Looking For
You don’t need to have followed a traditional sales career.
We’re interested in people who are:
- Competitive — you enjoy setting targets and challenging yourself
- Driven — you want to become better than you were yesterday
- Resilient — you can handle setbacks and keep moving forward
- Entrepreneurial — you want to take control of your development and income
- Team-focused — you enjoy working alongside ambitious people
- Coach-able — you’re willing to learn, take feedback and improve
- Goal-oriented — you like having something to work towards
- Confident — you’re comfortable communicating with different people
- Hard-working — you’re prepared to put in the work to achieve your goals
Whether you have spent years competing in sport, building a business, working in a completely different industry, managing people, studying, or developing your career elsewhere, your experience can bring valuable transferable skills to this role.
What You’ll Gain
- £400 weekly base + uncapped commission
- Full sales and business development training
- Ongoing coaching and mentorship
- Personal and professional development
- A structured pathway into leadership and management
- The opportunity to build and lead your own team
- Experience representing established brands

- Development across home-to-home, venue and B2B environments
- Travel opportunities across the West Midlands and occasionally the UK
- A competitive, energetic and ambitious team environment
- The opportunity to build skills that can support a long-term career in business
Key Responsibilities
- Represent clients through professional face-to-face sales presentations
- Engage with customers and business owners
- Build genuine relationships
- Identify customer needs and present suitable solutions
- Generate new business opportunities
- Work towards individual and team targets
- Develop communication, negotiation and business skills

Who This Could Suit
This opportunity could be a great fit if you have experience in:
Sport Retail Hospitality Customer Service Fitness Construction Logistics Education Management Business Sales Entrepreneurship
But you don’t need experience in any of these areas.
We’re open to people from all backgrounds who have the right mindset and are ready to commit to a full-time opportunity.
If you’ve ever been the person who:
Sets the goal → puts in the work → learns from setbacks → gets better → goes again
—you may fit perfectly into our environment.
Full-Time Commitment
This is a full-time position only.
We’re looking for people who are serious about developing themselves, building commercial skills and progressing within a performance-driven environment.
This isn’t designed as a part-time opportunity or a temporary side hustle. We’re looking for individuals who want to commit, develop and build something long-term.
Progression
We believe development shouldn’t stop at your first role.
As you develop your sales, communication and leadership skills, there are opportunities to progress towards:
Sales → Senior Sales → Team Leadership → Management
For ambitious individuals, there is also the opportunity to develop towards building and leading your own team.
Location
Based in Birmingham, covering the West Midlands, with occasional travel across the UK.
