Join One of the World's Leading Business Events Companies

At Business Show Media, we create far more than exhibitions – we create opportunities for ambitious businesses to grow, connect, and succeed.

As a global leader in business events, our exhibitions bring together entrepreneurs, SMEs, and industry innovators from around the world. With major events across London, Las Vegas, Miami, Sydney, and Singapore, we're expanding rapidly and looking for ambitious sales professionals to help drive the continued success of our North American portfolio.

The Opportunity

This is more than a sales role – it's a genuine opportunity to build an international career.

As a Sales Executive focused on our Miami events, you'll manage the full sales cycle, selling exhibition space and sponsorship packages to businesses looking to access the US market. Working with an international client base, you'll engage directly with business owners, founders, and senior decision-makers across North America.

You'll join a high-performance sales environment with structured training, uncapped earnings, and clear progression pathways towards senior leadership positions, including Event Director.

If you're ambitious, commercially minded, and motivated by both financial success and career progression, this role offers the platform to achieve both.

What You'll Be Doing

• Managing the full sales process from prospecting through to closing deals

• Selling exhibition stands and sponsorship opportunities for leading US business events

• Building strong relationships with business owners and senior decision-makers across North America

• Engaging with clients through phone, email, LinkedIn, and virtual meetings

• Understanding client objectives and delivering tailored event solutions

• Developing and managing a high-value sales pipeline

• Working closely with marketing, operations, and event teams

• Attending live events and closing deals onsite

• Contributing to the continued growth of our international event portfolio

What We're Looking For

We're looking for ambitious, confident individuals who thrive in a target-driven environment and are hungry to succeed.

You'll ideally be:

• Motivated, competitive, and results-driven

• Confident communicating with senior business professionals

• Commercially aware with a strong desire to win

• Resilient, positive, and self-motivated

• Interested in business, entrepreneurship, and international events

• Driven by progression, recognition, and uncapped earning potential

Previous sales experience is advantageous but not essential. We provide full training, ongoing coaching, and continuous professional development.

What You'll Get

• Competitive base salary of £26,000 – £30,000

• Uncapped commission structure with realistic Year 1 earnings of £60,000 – £70,000

• Top performers earning £100,000+

• Structured onboarding and ongoing sales training

• Clear progression pathway to senior leadership positions, including Event Director

• Opportunities to attend major US and international events

• A vibrant, ambitious, and high-energy team environment

• Regular incentives, rewards, socials, and team events

• The opportunity to build an international sales career with a global events business

Ready to Take the Next Step?

If you're looking for a role where hard work is rewarded, earnings are uncapped, and career progression is genuinely achievable, we'd love to hear from you.
