• Generate your own new business opportunities through proactive prospecting
• Manage the full sales cycle from initial contact through to close
• Convert leads and opportunities generated by the wider support team
• Build and manage a strong sales pipeline
• Keep CRM records accurate and up to date
• Present and pitch products and services to prospective clients
• Build relationships with decision-makers and senior stakeholders
• Negotiate commercial terms and close new business
• Meet and exceed personal sales targets
• Develop long-term relationships with clients after the initial sale

They are looking for someone who has:

• Proven experience in B2B sales, business development or new business
• Experience managing the full sales cycle from prospecting to close
• A genuine hunter mentality and a passion for winning new business
• Confidence speaking with senior decision-makers
• Strong presentation, negotiation and objection-handling skills
• Experience using a CRM to manage a sales pipeline
• A target-driven and commercially focused approach
• The ability to work independently while being a strong team player

The Personality they are Looking for:

Hungry – You enjoy the chase and are motivated by winning new business.

Humble – No ego. You’re happy to get stuck in, support the team and learn.

Smart – You’re commercially sharp, adaptable and able to quickly understand what a customer needs.

What’s on Offer as a BDM?

• £40,000- £50,000k plus comms depending on experience
• Established bonus and commission scheme
• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Regular performance reviews and genuine career progression
• Free Friday lunches
