Are you a people person who LOVES turning "we used to use you" clients into "where have you been all our lives?" If you're a natural networker, strategic thinker, and confident closer…this is your moment!
We're looking for an experienced Business Development Manager to join a new team in our client's business based in Colchester that's already building serious momentum - they need someone proactive, persuasive, and commercially sharp to help reconnect with a huge list of dormant clients just waiting to fall in love again with their business.
What You'll Be Doing:
This isn't your average BD role. No admin. No order processing. Just pure business development with a clear mission: Reignite relationships. Win back business. Grow revenue.
You'll be:
Reaching out to former clients - all warm leads, no cold calls.
Getting straight through to decision-makers and key contacts.
Building strong, lasting relationships and managing accounts for the first 12 months.
Creating and managing a robust sales pipeline.
Feeding valuable market insights back into the business.
You'll also have the chance to visit local clients one day a month - so a driving licence and access to a vehicle is essential.
What They're Looking For:
A proven track record in Business Development.
Confident communicator who knows how to get past gatekeepers.
Comfortable managing and growing accounts post-conversion.
Highly proactive and target-driven.
Able to work onsite full-time in Colchester.
Full UK driving licence and access to a car.
What They Offer:
Overall Earnings of £50-60,000 p.a. (inclusive of a basic salary).
Free onsite parking.
Christmas supplier gifts (you'll be spoiled, genuinely).
25 days' holiday + bank holidays.
Office closes for Christmas (3-4 days of holiday used).
Wellbeing breaks: 15 mins in the morning, 1 hour lunch, 15 mins in the afternoon.
Monday to Friday only - no bank holidays or weekends.
A supportive, team-driven culture.
If you're the kind of person who thrives on building connections, bringing clients back on board, and delivering real growth - we'd love to hear from you!
