About Edge Computers

Edge Computers is a UK-based IT reseller working across Education, SMB, Charity/CEP, and Public Sector organisations.

We specialise in:

• Zero-cost 1:1 device programmes
• Digital transformation strategies
• ICT refresh projects funded through vendor promotions
• Carbon-conscious IT renewal and reuse

We are authorised partners of Microsoft, HP, Lenovo, Dell, Acer, ASUS, Google, and Intel, delivering hardware, software, and professional services nationwide.

We’re growing — and we’re building our sales team from the ground up in our new Chester office.

The Role

We’re looking for confident, motivated Sales Development / Lead Generation professionals to join our new sales team.

This role is about starting meaningful conversations, particularly with schools, and identifying where Edge can genuinely support organisations to improve outcomes, reduce costs, and modernise their IT — often at zero upfront cost.

While outbound calling is part of the role, success comes from listening, understanding challenges, and opening the door to solutions that make a real difference.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Making outbound calls to schools, SMBs, and public sector organisations
• Building rapport with decision-makers and understanding their challenges
• Identifying and qualifying opportunities for Edge’s solutions and programmes
• Raising awareness of funding-led and zero-cost initiatives
• Accurately logging conversations and follow-ups in the CRM
• Working closely with senior sales and account managers to hand over qualified opportunities
• Learning about education funding, digital transformation, and industry trends
• Contributing ideas to improve outreach and engagement strategies

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need years of sales experience — attitude matters more than background.

You’ll likely be:

• Genuinely interested in education, technology, and making a positive impact
• Confident speaking with people on the phone
• Curious, proactive, and comfortable starting conversations
• Resilient and able to handle objections constructively
• Organised and happy working to clear activity targets
• Keen to learn, develop, and progress your career

Experience in sales, customer service, telesales, or lead generation is helpful — but not essential.
