I accepted a part time position with Sprint Recruitment, an upstart regional recruitment office in Newcastle upon Tyne, with the task of recruiting candidates with sales experience to work in various sales environments including telesales and charity fundraising. As my time with the company increased, I was also responsible for negotiating contracts with new employers to increase recruitment needs and revenue.

I conducted market research surveys on behalf of a number of companies, non-profit organisations and government agencies over the telephone on a cold-calling basis. As the company would deal with numerous clients at any one time, I was often required to learn a new question with common objections set over a short period of time. Some of the clients I represented include Google, British Gas, The Conservative Party and Oxfam, among others.
