You have my attention... tell me more about Home Made!

Home Made is a fast-growth property technology company that is disrupting the lettings sector and most importantly changing the way people rent for the better. We have developed brilliant technology that enables the process of renting to be more efficient, transparent, and reliable for both landlords and renters.

Our work culture is based on delivering results, integrity and fosters a diverse workforce where everyone has the right to be heard. Together we are on a mission to make the process of renting a property better for thousands of people, and this is just the beginning!

Sounds great, so what would the summer look like?

You will join our talented Sales Development team where you will focus on the first interaction with new potential renters, understanding what they are looking for in their next move and then ultimately getting them booked in for a viewing at their dream home!

Snapshot into the day in a life of a Summer Executive Intern:

• 9:00 am: Set up for the day, go through your allocations
• 9.15 am- 11.00 am: Start your day by making impactful interactions with people over the phone, booking in viewings once you’ve understood what they are looking for
• 11:00 am -11.15 am: Grab a coffee/tea and pet Kitty (our office dog)
• 11.15 am-12:15 pm: Hit the next round of calls, including those who couldn’t pick up the first time

• 12.15 pm-13.15 pm: Head to lunch with the team, market stalls at Lower Marsh are a must!
• 13.15 pm-13.30 pm: Check the online enquiry channel on slack (our communication channel) and respond back to customer queries
• 13.30 pm-15.30 pm: Hit another round of calls to book viewing requests and maximise sales opportunities by upselling and cross-selling to prospective renters
• 15.30 pm-15.45 pm: Take a mini pit stop to grab coffee/ tea and catch up with colleagues
• 15.45 pm-16.15 pm: Teams shout out and review the scoreboard – the top performer gets a chance to spin the reward wheel and win a prize. Our last team member had a free expensed lunch paid by their line manager!

• 16.15 pm-18.00 pm: Hit the final round of calls with potential renters to finish off your day
• 18.00 pm: Log off and head on a run with the Home-Made running club (personal preference of course 😊)
