This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys opening doors, building relationships and winning new business. You will take an active role in identifying, prospecting and securing new SME customers across a range of industries, including construction, logistics, transport, manufacturing and other business-to-business sectors.

This is a hands-on, new business sales role suited to someone who is hungry to succeed, confident speaking to decision-makers and motivated by achieving targets and earning commission.

You don't need years of experience to succeed. Our client are looking for the right attitude, strong communication skills and the determination to turn opportunities into long-term customers.

Key Responsibilities

• Proactively generate new business by identifying and targeting potential SME customers across a range of industries.
• Hunt for new opportunities through cold calling, email outreach, LinkedIn prospecting, networking and other face to face lead-generation activities.
• Research businesses, identify key decision-makers and develop targeted approaches to winning new customers.

About You

We are looking for an enthusiastic and resilient individual who wants to build a successful career in business development and sales.

You will ideally have:

• Some experience in sales, telesales, lead generation, recruitment, account development or another customer-facing commercial role. However, applications from ambitious candidates with limited experience will also be considered.
• A proactive, self-motivated approach and the ability to create opportunities rather than wait for leads to come in.
• Resilience and the ability to handle rejection positively while maintaining consistent prospecting activity.
• Commercial awareness and an interest in understanding how businesses operate and where they can benefit from new solutions.
• A positive attitude, willingness to learn and ambition to progress within a growing business.
