We're working with a growing, commercially focused business looking to bring in an experienced Business Development Manager to join their small, collaborative sales team.
 
This is a hands-on role where you'll be managing a mix of warm leads and existing client relationships, with a real opportunity to make an impact quickly.
 
The role
 
You'll be responsible for developing new business opportunities while also building on existing client relationships. This isn't a "sit back and wait" sales role — you'll need to be proactive, organised and confident picking up the phone.
 
Day to day, you'll be:

  • Contacting prospective and existing business clients (mainly within facilities and commercial sectors)
  • Following up warm leads and identifying new opportunities
  • Building relationships through calls, emails and ongoing communication
  • Preparing and sending your own quotes and proposals
  • Managing the full sales process through to close
  • Ensuring strong margins and commercially sound deals
  • Keeping pipelines updated and reporting into the Sales Manager

What they're looking for

  • Previous B2B sales experience (essential)
  • Confident communicator — comfortable on the phone and via email
  • Proactive, self-motivated and not afraid to get stuck in
  • Strong relationship-building skills
  • Commercial awareness (understanding pricing, margins, value)
  • Organised with the ability to manage your own workload
  • Full UK driving licence

The package

  • £40,000 - £45,000 basic salary
  • Uncapped OTE £50,000 - £55,000
  • 28 days holiday (including bank holidays, with Christmas shutdown)
  • Free parking
  • Pension
  • Supportive team environment with genuine opportunity to grow
