Choose The Level Of Sales Admin Support Cover You Need

Junior, mid-level, or senior: every sales administrator is screened against the CRM and sales-support work UK teams actually run. Below is the scope each level owns, the tools they operate in, and the standard they are held to.

▣ Role Overview

Junior Sales Administrator

A junior sales administrator handles the day-to-day sales admin: processing orders, updating the CRM, preparing quotes from templates, and chasing the paperwork that slows a deal down.

It is the cost-effective way to take the back-office load off your salespeople, under your team's direction, without a UK salary on the books.

Enters and checks sales orders, confirms the details, and moves them through your system.

2

Keeps contacts, deals and account records accurate and current.

3

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about hiring an offshore Sales Administrator with Aspire.

A UK sales administrator costs more than the salary alone once an employer NI, pension and overheads are added. With Aspire, you pay one all-inclusive monthly fee and save up to 64%.

  • Junior (1–3 yrs): about £2,638/month in-house vs £950/month with Aspire
  • Mid-level (4–7 yrs): about £3,238/month vs £1,250/month
  • Senior (8+ yrs): about £4,038/month vs £1,600/month

No recruitment fees, no employer NI, no pension contributions on top.

A sales administrator runs the back-office work behind every deal: processing orders, preparing quotes, updating the CRM, chasing customer follow-ups, and producing sales reports. It frees your salespeople to sell rather than manage paperwork.

Yes. Your administrator works remotely from our India office, aligned to your UK hours, inside your CRM and systems, with NDA, secure access, and data security set up from day one.

The roles overlap. A sales administrator focuses on the admin behind sales: orders, quotes, CRM, and reporting. A sales coordinator leans more into scheduling and coordinating the team. Our mid and senior sales administrators cover both, and we match the profile to how you work.

Our monthly fee includes a dedicated full-time administrator, all employer costs, a workstation, HR, recruitment, and a UK account manager. The work spans order processing, quote preparation, CRM updates, sales reporting, customer follow-ups, and after-sales admin.

Yes. Order processing and CRM management are core to the role. Mid and senior administrators also own quote and proposal management, pipeline reporting and cross-team coordination in tools like Salesforce, HubSpot and Microsoft Dynamics.

Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho and Pipedrive on the CRM side, Microsoft Dynamics and other ERP systems for orders. They use Xero, QuickBooks and Sage for invoicing, and Shopify or WooCommerce for e-commerce orders. We match administrators to the systems you already run.

Usually within about four weeks, from briefing through sourcing, shortlist and interview to onboarding. We handle the recruitment so you only spend time on the final interviews.
