Business Development Executive

Are you an ambitious salesperson looking to take the next step in your B2B sales career?

Our client is expanding its commercial team and is looking for a motivated Business Development Executive to help drive new business growth. This is an opportunity for someone with previous telesales or B2B sales experience who wants to develop their skills, increase their earnings and build a long-term career in sales.

With a £25,000 basic salary and realistic first-year earnings of £40,000–£45,000, there is genuine earning potential for someone prepared to put the work in. You'll also benefit from a 35-hour working week, Monday to Friday, and the opportunity to progress as your experience and performance develop.

The Role

You'll focus on generating new business, speaking with decision makers and turning initial conversations into commercial opportunities. This is a proactive sales position, so you'll need to be comfortable picking up the phone, approaching prospective customers and building relationships from scratch.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Making outbound calls to prospective business customers.
• Identifying opportunities and speaking with key decision makers.
• Building and managing your own sales pipeline.
• Developing prospects into new customers.
• Working towards sales targets and revenue objectives.
• Managing your own performance and maximising your commission potential.

You'll need to be comfortable with the realities of outbound sales, including handling rejection and maintaining consistent activity. In return, your performance will directly influence what you can earn.

About You

We're interested in people who are commercially minded, competitive and motivated to succeed.

You'll ideally have 6–12 months or more of B2B sales or telesales experience, with the confidence to hold conversations with business customers and the determination to follow opportunities through.

You'll also bring a positive attitude, good communication skills and the ability to take ownership of your results. Most importantly, you'll want to develop your sales career and be motivated by the opportunity to increase your earnings through performance.

The Package

• £25,000 basic salary.
• Realistic first-year OTE of £40,000–£45,000.
• Uncapped commission.
• 35-hour working week, Monday to Friday.
• Supportive, performance-focused sales environment.
• Opportunities to progress into more senior commercial positions.
• Company pension scheme.

Interested?

If you've got some sales experience, enjoy speaking with people and want an opportunity where your performance can make a real difference to your earnings, we'd like to hear from you.
