Tim - Sales Consultant
I'm Tim and I'm a Sales Consultant for Nationwide. What attracted me to Nationwide - primarily the money, always the best thing about it. Also I wanted to work in a place where I've got career prospects, somewhere where I'd be able to potentially advance into further areas rather than just working in a dead-end job. So Nationwide seemed the place for me really. The area of the business that I work in, it's to do with insurance principally. We deal with members on a daily basis, selling identity protection and card protection. What we do to begin with, is we make our members aware of different problems out there involving id and card fraud and then we also let them know about the specific products that would be there to protect them. Because there's nothing worse really than having your money somewhere and knowing that it's all going to go somewhere awful. So making sure that Nationwide's members are protected against anything untoward that could happen to them.
At our Wakefield contact centre, you’ll join us as either a Customer Sales or Customer Service Consultant, talking to our customers over the phone, building rapport, capitalising on your eye (and ear) for detail and making sure customers get exactly the right products for them.

Customer Service Consultant
Customer Service Consultants do everything possible to help customers manage their finances better. That can mean taking care of anything from an address change or opening an account to handling an overdraft request. You’ll also generate new leads for our Customer Sales Consultants by identifying whether customers would benefit from any other products. There are targets, but they’re in place to motivate you.
When it comes to delivering great service, personality makes all the difference.
It’s a role where personality makes all the difference. Each customer is an individual with their own specific needs and the way you communicate with them directly affects how they think and feel about us. So, rather than financial services experience, you’ll need the ability to listen, empathise and inspire confidence. If you also have loads of initiative and essential PC skills plus the determination to deliver a great service, our training will teach you the rest.
