Sales Trainer - LivingSocial
London | Training Department
Introduction
LivingSocial is one of the most exciting e-commerce success stories to have emerged from the past decade. In just over two short years, our American founders have transformed the business from its humble beginnings in Washington D.C. (well, not too humble - our CEO and his team created two of the most successful Applications ever to have been launched across Facebook) into an internationally recognised brand employing over 5000 of the most talented individuals in the industry across 25 countries worldwide.
By offering our millions of global subscribers exclusive daily discounts on their favourite products, services and tailor-made experiences, we have revolutionised the way that local and national brands communicate with their customers. And with absolutely no up-front costs for our clients, we are challenging the very foundations of the traditional advertising model. Having secured hundreds of millions in funding from high-profile industry backers such as Amazon.com, LivingSocial is perfectly poised to continue its astonishing growth and maintain its pole position in the billion-dollar Social Buying category.
Our UK Operation is headquartered in our beautiful Covent Garden offices, and LivingSocial offers a variety of exciting deals in all major UK cities.
