Regional Self-Employed Sales Executive
Regional Sales Area | 30% First-Year Commission | 10% Recurring Commission | Uncapped Earnings
About SAEL
SAEL is building the next generation of Safeguarding Continuity.
Our secure platform helps schools, nurseries, pre-schools, childminders and other childcare organisations maintain continuity of important safeguarding information as children move between settings.
We are expanding our presence across the UK and are looking for experienced, commercially minded Regional Self-Employed Sales Executives to develop SAEL’s presence within defined regional sales areas.
The Opportunity
Each Sales Executive will be responsible for developing business within an allocated regional sales area, identifying prospective customers, building relationships with decision-makers and converting opportunities into paying SAEL customers.
This is an autonomous, self-employed opportunity. You will decide how, when and where you generate your business within your region, while SAEL provides the product, training, sales materials, demonstrations and commercial support.
We are looking for experienced sales professionals who are confident creating their own opportunities and who want their earning potential to reflect the business they generate.
Regional Sales Areas
SAEL will establish regional sales areas across the UK, with each Sales Executive allocated a primary territory to develop.
Regional areas may include a combination of counties or other defined geographic areas depending on market size and demand.
Your role is to build SAEL’s presence within your allocated region and develop relationships with organisations operating there.
Regional allocation provides clear focus and account ownership while giving you the freedom to develop your market in the way that works best for you.
Strategic national opportunities, existing SAEL relationships, inbound opportunities and larger multi-regional organisations may be managed separately by SAEL.
Commission
You will receive:
30% commission on the first-year subscription value of every new customer you personally source and close
10% recurring commission on qualifying subscription renewals
There is:
No commission cap
No limit on the number of customers you can sign
Our pricing varies by organisation type and size, creating opportunities ranging from individual settings through to substantial multi-site agreements.
For example:
£550 annual subscription → £165 commission
£895 annual subscription → £268.50 commission
£1,495 annual subscription → £448.50 commission
A larger agreement covering multiple settings, such as a MAT, academy trust, nursery group, childcare group or childminder agency, can generate thousands of pounds in commission from a single deal.
These are representative pricing bands rather than fixed limits. Actual contract values may vary according to organisation size, structure and requirements.
What You’ll Do
Within your regional sales area, you will:
- Identify and develop new business opportunities
- Build and manage your own prospect pipeline
- Establish relationships with decision-makers and senior stakeholders
- Introduce SAEL and communicate its value proposition
- Arrange and deliver product demonstrations
- Understand prospective customers’ safeguarding and operational requirements
- Manage opportunities from initial contact through to close
- Develop long-term commercial relationships
- Provide market insight and customer feedback to the SAEL team
Experience We’re Looking For
We are looking for an experienced sales professional with a proven record of generating new business.
You should be confident managing the full sales cycle independently, from prospecting and qualification through to demonstration, negotiation and close.

- Selling to senior decision-makers

You are comfortable opening conversations with organisations that have never heard of SAEL, understanding their needs and progressing opportunities towards a commercial decision.
You are proactive, organised and capable of managing your own business development activity independently.

Why SAEL?
Safeguarding is a critical responsibility for every organisation working with children.
SAEL addresses a specific challenge: maintaining continuity of important safeguarding information when children move between settings.
We are building a proposition around Safeguarding Continuity, helping organisations connect information across the child’s journey while working alongside the safeguarding systems and processes they already use.
For the right salesperson, this is an opportunity to take ownership of a defined regional market, build their own customer base and earn both immediate and recurring commission from the organisations they bring to SAEL.
