    Where this job can take you

    Start learning the basics of sales, hit your targets and move into a leadership role where you have the opportunity to train your own team. Manage them successfully and grow consistently to the point you may have access to client contracts for your own separate business entity. Merit based advancement with clear goal posts.

    1. Sales rep Where everyone starts

      Learn the basics. 3 sales a day will already beat minimum wage and is usually achieved within 3 days.

    2. Leader Sell it, master it, then teach it

      Reach 18 sales a week to move into a leadership role where you can master your craft for a substantial income increase and have the opportunity to join the Business Development Program.

    3. Business Development Program Grow your income, your skills and your team

      Once you've shown you can sell, this is where you grow. Hit higher targets to earn performance bonuses and increase your income as a salesperson. Learn to coach new sales reps and, if you want to, lead your own team and share in the profit it brings in. Assist with recruitment and learn the back end of the business if you have management aspirations.

    Be honest with yourself

    This is a self-employed, commission-only role after training. It suits some people brilliantly and isn't right for others. We would rather you decide now than after two weeks.

    This is for you if

    • You're happy to knock on a stranger's door and start a conversation
    • You want your pay to depend on your effort, with no ceiling
    • You can take a "no" and go to the next door
    • You want to learn skills you'll use in any career
    • You want to be an example and potentially lead people one day

    This is not for you if

    • You want a guaranteed wage just for turning up
    • You don't want to talk to people you don't know
    • You want a quiet job at a desk
    • You give up when things get hard

    Nervous? Plenty of our best people were. We can work with nervous, as long as you are willing to try.

    Which one sounds like you?

    People join us for different reasons. Whatever yours is, we want to know so we can help you achieve it.

    I want to earn

    Pure sales, with no ceiling. What you earn follows how many new customers you sign up. Hit your numbers and keep the rewards.

    I want to build confidence

    You'll start conversations with strangers every day. Within weeks, talking to anyone stops feeling scary, and that stays with you for life.

    I want a skill for any career

    Face-to-face selling is one of the most transferable skills there is. Learn it here, then take it into tech, finance or wherever you want to go next.

    I want to coach people

    Once you can sell, learn to teach it. Train new reps, lead a team and develop other leaders.

    I want to learn to run a business

    Take on recruitment, finances, team targets and the day-to-day running of the business, with real responsibility.

    I want to be the boss one day

    You'll learn how a business really runs: winning customers, coaching a team, hiring and keeping an eye on the numbers. Prove you can do it, and you could earn a client contract to start your own business.

    Most people join for one reason and discover another. Everyone starts in the same place: the first door.

    Show us who you are

    Questions, answered

    The things people ask us most. If yours isn't here, email knockknock@firstdoorsales.com.

    Do I need experience?

    No. This is an entry-level role and we teach you the rest, with paid training at the start. What matters is that you're happy talking to people you don't know and you can take a "no" and move on.

    What would I be selling?

    Subscriptions. We currently work with 2 clients: a fresh pasta subscription and a fresh coffee subscription. You introduce the service face to face and take payment for the customer's first order.

    How am I paid?

    You're paid for your training at the start. After that it's commission only: you earn for every new customer you sign up, with no ceiling. Your earnings depend on your own results and aren't guaranteed. The calculator on the home page shows some examples.

    What does self-employed mean?

    You work for yourself rather than as an employee, so you're responsible for your own tax. We'll explain exactly how it works on your first call, so you can decide with the full picture. Bring your questions.

    Is it full time?

    Yes. We're hiring full-time to begin with.

    Where would I work?

    Door to door across London.

    How does the interview work?

    It takes 10 minutes at most, on your phone or computer. You watch our recorded questions, get time to think after each one, then record your answer. Once you open your link you have 48 hours to complete it. We watch every interview, and if you're a fit we'll call you.

    What if I'm nervous?

    Plenty of our best people were. We can work with nervous, as long as you are willing to try.

    How do I move up?

    Reach 18 sales a week to move into a leadership role, with the chance to join the Business Development Program, where you can grow your income, coach others and learn the back end of the business. Advancement is based on results, with clear targets.

    Who sees my interview?
